While there are obviously a variety of factors which have
contributed to this skeptical, questioning attitude, one of
them, as I noted earlier in this series, is undoubtedly that
over the years, faith in God, as well as faith in His Word,
has been slowly replaced by faith in science, and faith in
the words of mere mortal men, who are not perfect, and who
can never be perfect, due to our sinful nature. For example,
one dangerous attitude which has been drilled into the minds
and hearts of school-aged children for decades now, is that
unless something can be soundly proven through scientific
methodology, then it should not be believed; or at the very
least, it should be viewed with skepticism, until it can be
proven. Sadly, this approach is applied to God's Word too.
The end result of this subtle brainwashing campaign, is that
Biblical truths, such as the Creation Account, as described
in the Book of Genesis, are viewed as being nothing more than
out-dated myths; while theories such as evolution, (I prefer
to call it EVILution), are enthusiastically and erroneously
embraced as scientific facts, even though they are no such
thing. In short, man's fallible word has been exalted, and
has prevailed over God's Word, and faith has been trampled
to the ground. It might surprise you to know that even Jesus
foresaw this day, when men would doubt the very Word of God.
On one occasion, while referring to His Second Coming, the
Lord stated in part:
". . . Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he
find faith on the earth?"
Luke 18:8b, KJV
Yet, in spite of the fact that the Bible clearly predicts
that the world of the Endtime will be filled with so much
doubt and skepticism, as we have already seen, at the same
time, it also plainly states that this man, who Paul refers
to as the "Son of Perdition", that is, the Antichrist, is
not only going to be accepted as a great spiritual leader,
but he is actually going to be embraced as God Himself; at
least by certain people. In fact, Paul informs us that this
deceiver and usurper will sit "in the temple of God"; which
I currently understand to mean the temple which may soon be
rebuilt on Mount Moriah in East Jerusalem, where the Muslim
Dome of the Rock, and the Mosque of Omar now stand. How can
this possibly be? What could this crafty charlatan possibly
say, or do, to convince such a hard-hearted, unbelieving,
skeptical, scientific-minded world that he is God? Or on a
more personal level, what could he possibly do to convince
YOU that he is God? Think about it!
To further unravel the mystery of the Antichrist, and how it
may relate to our discussion concerning aliens and UFO's, we
need to take another look at the past. Almost two thousand
years ago, the Apostle Paul stood on the top of Mars Hill in
Greece, and preached a sermon to the supposedly wise people
of Athens. During that particular speech, Paul offered the
following statement. I've added one word in brackets for the
sake of clarification:
"For in him [God] we live, and move, and have our being; as
certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also
his offspring."
Acts 17:28, KJV
You see, similar to many other ancient cultures, the Greeks
and the Romans not only believed in a pantheon of gods, that
is to say, in many gods for every purpose and occasion, but
they also embraced the misguided belief that they were the
children of the gods. Thus, it may be that, in order to try
to find some common ground with the people of Athens, Paul
made the above statement; because, as you may recall, Paul
himself explains in his Epistles, that through our faith in
Christ, we likewise become the adopted sons and daughters of
God. Please consider the following New Testament verses that
verify this point:
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his
name:"
John 1:12, KJV
"And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this
world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall
be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the
resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in
marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal
unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the
children of the resurrection."
Luke 20:34-36, KJV
"For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to
fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby
we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with
our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if
children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with
Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be
also glorified together."
Romans 8:15-17, KJV
"For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ
Jesus."
Galatians 3:26, KJV
"Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by
Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of
his will,"
Ephesians 1:5, KJV
"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but
fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of
God;"
Ephesians 2:19, KJV
What I've just shared with you is Scriptural truth which is
believed by every Bible-believing Christian; but, as we saw
earlier in this series, within New Age and UFOlogy circles,
there exists another "truth". According to this "truth", the
God, ("elohim" - plural of "el" in Hebrew), mentioned in the
Book of Genesis, actually refers to extraterrestrial beings
who visited the Earth in the distant past. These beings are
said to have seeded the Earth with human life; possibly by
means of genetic engineering, or through some other method.
Furthermore, this belief claims that these alien scientists
have continued to visit the Earth, up to our modern day, in
order to determine how well their "genetic experiment" has
progressed. Some people take it even further than that, as
you will learn shortly.
So, in essence, New Agers have replaced the Christian God of
the Bible with an alien scientific expedition; and they have
exchanged the creative Power of God's Spirit with advanced
technology; that is, genetic engineering. Of course, if you
ask these people where the aliens came from, that is, what's
their place of origin, they can't tell you. They might point
you to some distant star system, (which we'll be discussing
later), but that still doesn't answer the basic question of
who created them. In other words, they can only go back so
far before they are forced to admit that even the aliens, if
they truly exist, must have likewise had a creator of some
kind. Their only escape, even though it is not a valid one,
is to fall back on the deceptive lie of evolution.
You may recall that in part three we read how Paul condemned
the foolish citizens of Rome, because they sought to rob God
of His Glory, by reducing Him to the images, or statues, of
men, and of four-footed beasts, which was a clear violation
of the very first law that was given to Moses on Mount Sinai,
as we read in the following verses, taken from the twentieth
chapter of the Book of Exodus:
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not
make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any
thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt
not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD
thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth
generation of them that hate me;"
Exodus 20:3-5, KJV
In some cases, similar to other ancient cultures, the Roman
idols were part human, and part animal. As I explain in the
series "The Fruits Of Disobedience", in the Old Testament,
the Lord condemned the heathen for practicing the very same
thing. Following their liberation from Egyptian bondage, the
Israelites also engaged in the evil worship of heathen gods;
and hundreds of years later, we find Prophets like Jeremiah
still warning them to repent of their wicked deeds. Consider
the following verses:
"Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but
they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have
they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle
not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they
through their throat. They that make them are like unto
them; so is every one that trusteth in them."
Psalms 115:4-8, KJV
"As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house
of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and
their priests, and their prophets, Saying to a stock, Thou
art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth:
for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face:
but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and
save us. But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee?
let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy
trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy
gods, O Judah."
Jeremiah 2:26-28, KJV
"For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a
tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman,
with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they
fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They
are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs
be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for
they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
. . . But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock
is a doctrine of vanities."
Jeremiah 10:3-5, 8, KJV
So how is the worship of false gods and goddesses of the past
related to our current discussion concerning New Age thought
and UFOlogy? Simply put, just as the Israelites, the Greeks,
the Romans, and a host of other heathen nations robbed God of
His Glory by replacing Him with deaf and dumb idols of their
own making, New Agers and UFO cultists are essentially doing
the very same thing when they attempt to reduce "El Shaddai",
the Almighty God, to a race of almond-eyed, grey skinny-armed
aliens who travel throughout the Universe in order to conduct
genetic experiments and seed life on inhabitable worlds.
In both cases, such people are stealing the Glory from God,
pushing the one true God to the side, and giving credit for
the Creation to someone, or to something else. Regardless of
whether it is an ancient god, a modern-day alien, or a false
theory like EVILution, the result is still the same: God is
being taken out of the picture, and He doesn't like it! His
Word tells us that He will not give His Glory to another, as
we see by these verses:
"I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not
give to another, neither my praise to graven images."
Isaiah 42:8, KJV
"For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it:
for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my
glory unto another."
Isaiah 48:11, KJV
As we saw a moment ago, this is exactly what the Antichrist,
or "Son of Perdition", (also referred to as the Man of Sin),
will do as well. That liar and deceiver will claim that he
is God. He is going to take credit which does not rightfully
belong to him. Isn't this precisely what Satan has wanted to
do for thousands of years? Let's not forget the words of the
Prophet Isaiah. As I explain in the article "Satan: Origin,
Purpose And Future", while prophesying of the fall of the
king of Babylon, the Prophet seems to have suddenly switched
gears, and wrote the following:
"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the
morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst
weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I
will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the
stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above
the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet
thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the
pit."
Isaiah 14:12-15, KJV
What is also alarming about this "alien expedition" belief,
is that some people within the UFO cult embrace these ideas
with as much religious fervor as we Christians embrace the
Biblical account of Creation. To make matters worse, they
don't view their beliefs as a religion, but rather as sound
science. I am reminded of another verse written by Paul, to
Timothy, where he warns Timothy to beware of false science.
The verse states:
"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust,
avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of
science falsely so called:"
1 Timothy 6:20, KJV
In the previous verse, the word "science" is derived from the
Greek word "gnosis", which literally means "knowledge"; so in
reality, what Paul is telling Timothy, is that he must guard
his flock against those who argue against the faith by using
false knowledge. In writing these words, Paul was referring
to those people who claimed to possess an understanding of
spiritual matters, but who were in fact, only leading God's
sheep astray from the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.
As I mention in some of my other articles, a primary example
of this were the Law-bound Orthodox Jews, who insisted that
certain aspects of the Mosaic Law, like circumcision, still
had to be observed, in order for one to obtain Salvation. In
other words, according to these false brethren and deceivers,
professing faith in the Sacrifice of Christ was not enough.
According to these snakes, Jesus didn't really pay the full
price for our sins. They attempted to convince new converts
to the Christian faith that they still had to supplement our
Lord's Sacrifice with the "good deeds" of the Law, so as to
merit Salvation. These subtle wolves were a constant source
of concern to Paul. Thus, in some of his Epistles, as well
as in the Book of Acts, we find such verses as these:
"For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous
wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock."
Acts 20:29, KJV
"Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to
be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be
wise."
1 Corinthians 3:18, KJV
"And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth
nothing yet as he ought to know."
1 Corinthians 8:2, KJV
"As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach
any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let
him be accursed."
Galatians 1:9, KJV
If there's one thing of which I'm certain, it's that some New
Agers and UFO believers, clearly preach another gospel; that
is, an alien gospel, which outright contradicts the Bible. In
the words of the Apostle Paul, such people should be cursed,
and their doctrines of devils completely ignored, because it
is false science, and false knowledge which poisons the soul.
As I first mentioned in part five, not only do these people
embrace the belief of an alien science expedition visiting
the Earth many millennia ago in order to plant human life on
our planet, but they also blindly accept the aliens' claim of
having created Jesus Christ, and raising Him from the dead on
the third day, by means of their technology. As I also stated
earlier, according to these doctrines of devils, the Lord is
stripped of His Divine Nature, and is assigned the position
of "Ascended Master", or "Avatar", along with Moses, Buddha,
Confucius, Muhammad, and similar philosophers and spiritual
leaders who have lived down through the ages. Together, they
supposedly form an elite body of individuals known as the
"Great White Brotherhood", also referred to as the "Angelic
Hierarchy".
If the Apostle Peter were alive today, surely he would regard
such ungodly beliefs as part of the "damnable heresies" that
he wrote about in the following verse:
"But there were false prophets also among the people, even
as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily
shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that
bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."
2 Peter 2:1, KJV
Given these terrible lies that are being promoted by some
New Age advocates, is it really any wonder that some people
become so confused once they fall into their clutches? As I
briefly mentioned in part five, New Age doctrine appears to
be a strange mixture of the "Space Brothers" concept, (that
being that the good aliens are here to assist humanity and
are our brothers), along with a few beliefs taken from the
Christian faith, as well as from some Eastern religions. As
I noted earlier, the whole intent here seems to be to try to
please everyone, and to draw everyone into their subtle web
of deception, by promoting an atmosphere of open-mindedness.
In a subtle way, it appears as if the promoters of New Age
thought are suggesting that their belief system, as weird as
it is, is better than all of the rest of the world's belief
systems, because it attempts to assimilate all of them, and
harmonize their conflicting views.
Sadly, this kind of unified belief system appeals to a lot
of people, because they believe that it will help to solve
some of the world's problems, such as wars that often result
from different religious views. But, as Jacques Vallée came
to realize, it has all the earmarks of becoming a One World
Religion. The day may come when those who do not accept New
Age beliefs are made to appear as the narrow-minded villains.
In fact, with we Christians, this has already begun to happen
due to our beliefs concerning such social issues as abortion,
birth control, gay and lesbian rights, stem cell research and
other controversial topics.
So the truth is, that while some people may deny it, UFOlogy
and New Age thought has already become a religion. Just as
members of organized religion create their particular set of
acceptable doctrines, some New Agers and UFO cultists do the
very same thing, and they don't want to be confused with the
facts. As a result, when somebody such as myself comes along,
and attempts to offer a Biblical perspective on a particular
issue, we are quite often shunned, ridiculed, or told to go
elsewhere. Again, I speak from personal experience. This has
happened to me on quite a few occasions. Some of the people
I have had to deal with over the years have been extremely
antichrist. A few of them have hated me with a passion, and
have attacked me quite viciously in a verbal sense. Sadly,
it seems that a lot of these people belong to the misguided
younger generation, although not all of them.
In my view, how can someone claim to really be searching for
the truth behind the alien and UFO phenomenon, if they aren't
even willing to consider all of the possibilities? To be so
quick to disregard the Holy Bible, which contains a number of
unusual verses and incidents which may point to the spiritual
nature of the UFO phenomenon, isn't being very impartial in
one's investigation for the truth. Some people want to be so
convinced that these "alien beings" and UFO's originate on
other planets, that they will outright reject anything which
might suggest otherwise. It is akin to living in denial of
what might be the truth, or creating one's own delusion.
So one of the main points I wish to establish here, is that
within the New Age/UFO culture, certain Biblical truths have
been supplanted and replaced by "more acceptable" substitutes
which don't sound quite as religious. Primary among these is
the erroneous belief that while there is no God, there are
most definitely aliens; and according to some New Agers, it
is these aliens who are our "true creators". In short, as I
noted earlier, some UFO cultists remain convinced that an
advanced alien race are the "elohim" discussed in the Bible.
As we have already seen, a second important belief which has
been embraced by some of these UFO cultists, is that what we
Christians view as being spiritual power, and miracles from
God, is in reality, advanced technology which is currently
beyond our human understanding and capabilities. With these
two tenets of the UFO culture, the need for a Christian God
is wiped out; the need for a spirit world is wiped out; and
the need for miracles is wiped out. It has all been replaced
by advanced science in the hands of an alien race.
But you see, the truth of the matter is quite the opposite.
While they may not realize it now, the people who accept the
lies of these so-called "aliens", may be setting themselves
up for the strong delusion which lies ahead.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this series, I have been
studying the Bible for quite a few years; and eschatology,
or the study of last events, or Endtime prophecy, has been
of particular interest to me. Like many of you, I am rather
curious, and Endtime prophecy intrigues me; but I must tell
you, that in my many years of researching and studying God's
Word, I have never come across anything in the Bible which
clearly suggests that an alien invasion from Outer Space is
going to occur. If such an event is truly foretold, then up
until now, I have failed to find it. What I personally see
within the pages of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation,
seems to be a natural progression of historical, political,
military and religious events, which will culminate with the
Return of Jesus Christ, and all of the other related events
which are associated with it.
In fact, even the Endtime characters we have come to identify
as the Beast, the Antichrist, the False Prophet, etc., seem
to arise from normal worldly events. Yes, we know that they
will all be influenced by unseen, negative spiritual forces,
(i.e., demons); but the point I wish to emphasize, is that
in a normal reading of the Bible, that is, what we see in
the verses in black and white in front of our faces, there
is really no clear indication of an impending alien invasion
from Outer Space, which is going to shock the world. Allow
me to reiterate, that this is if we choose to read the Bible
in the traditional way, as most people tend to do, if they
even read it at all.
However, if we are willing to bend our perception a certain
degree, and extend our faith somewhat, and open our minds a
little more, it is possible to see things which may not be
meant for the casual Bible reader. This is precisely what I
attempt to do with my series "Under The Cloud: UFO's And The
Holy Bible". While we may not discover any mention of UFO's
in the Bible if we read it in the normal manner, if we alter
our perspective, we begin to see the possibility of UFO's in
a number of important places. One key example with which you
may be familiar, are the visions of the Prophet Ezekiel. One
of these visions in particular, is commonly referred to as
"Ezekiel's Wheel", and can be found in Ezekiel chapters one
and ten.
Now, I realize that you may not agree with everything that I
suggest in the aforementioned series; but at the very least,
I hope that it motivates you to open your mind to consider
other possibilities. To be honest, even I haven't arrived at
any final conclusions regarding the topics that I discuss in
that series. Nothing I state there is written in stone, and
a lot of what I propose there is merely personal speculation.
But for the sake of discussion, let us assume for the moment,
that some of the speculations I make in that series are true.
More specifically, let's assume that God and the Angelic Host
are in some way associated with what we refer to as UFO's, or
flying saucers. This is the same premise that I put forth in
my series "Chariots Of Fire: A Voluntary Voyage To Heaven?".
If God does possess a fleet of inter-dimensional vehicles of
some sort, as seen by Ezekiel and others, and if Satan is a
usurper, (as we know he is), and tries to copy what God does,
is it possible that Satan might employ the use of such craft
as well?
If we assume this to be true, then our next question is to
ask: Is it possible that there might actually be some kind
of veiled suggestion in the Bible, for an "alien invasion"
from Outer Space, even if said beings aren't really aliens
at all? If we also accept this as being true, then we must
question if these events, which may be hidden in the pages
of the Bible, might possibly be related in some way to the
much-publicized "alien abduction" experience, and the many
alleged UFO sightings in our modern day. In short, as we
have already seen, some people are seeing and experiencing
something which is outside of everyday normal events. It
would not be wise on our part to label all of them as just
being crazy. Therefore, if what they are experiencing does
not originate from the depths of Outer Space, then where
does it come from?
As I point out in other articles related to the Endtime, if
my understanding of the Scriptures is correct, (and I do not
claim infallibility), Satan and the fallen angels, (who are
described for us in the Apocalypse as a great red dragon and
a third part of the stars which fall to the Earth), may soon
visit the Earth; at which time they will attempt to establish
their kingdom of darkness. God's Word indicates that this
event will occur after they are defeated in a great spiritual
battle in the Heavenly Realm, against Michael the Archangel
and his Angels. As a result of losing this celestial war, we
are told that Satan, who is also known as the Devil, will be
permanently cast out of Heaven, where he accuses the Saints
of God day and night. Thus, in great wrath, he and his demons
will come down to the Earth. Consider the following verses
which describe these events:
"And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a
great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and
seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third
part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth
. . . And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels
fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his
angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any
more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old
serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the
whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels
were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in
heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom
of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of
our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God
day and night . . . Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and
of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having
great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short
time."
Revelation 12:3-4a, 7-10, 12b, KJV
I don't know how much you the reader have delved into the
realm of UFOlogy, but allow me to inform you that what I've
just quoted for you bears somewhat of a resemblance to some
of the stories I have read in alien/UFO literature regarding
the so-called "alien civilization", which UFO cultists refer
to as the "Dracos" or "Reptilians", which I first mentioned
in part four of this series. According to UFOlogists, these
alien creatures are said to possess dry, scaly skin, which
is usually brown or gray in color. In the various images of
these alleged creatures, which are dispersed across the web,
they are normally depicted as having reptilian or serpentine
characteristics.
The "Dracos", or "Reptilians", are also described by some UFO
cultists, as being very aggressive and deceitful, thus making
them rather untrustworthy. In some regards, this description
is similar to how the Bible describe that old serpent, Satan,
or the Devil. As I shared with you earlier in this series, in
exposing the deceptive nature of that creature of darkness,
Jesus Himself said the following concerning the Devil in John
chapter eight:
". . . He [the Devil] was a murderer from the beginning, and
abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a
liar, and the father of it."
John 8:44b, KJV
In the very first book of the Bible, i.e., Genesis, we find
another very interesting verse which adds further similarity
between these so-called "Dracos", or "Reptilians", and that
deceiver, Satan. The first verse in Genesis chapter three
states:
"Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field
which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman,
Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the
garden?"
Genesis 3:1, KJV
So from those two verses, we see that Satan is described as
being like a serpent, subtle, deceptive and a liar, which
are the very same attributes which are used by UFO cultists
to describe the "Dracos", or "Reptilians". Incidentally, the
Dracos/Reptilians are sometimes referred to as the "Grays",
or the "Greys".
