The Apostle Paul wrote to the Church at Ephesus that "Our struggle is not
against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against
the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness
in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12). He also wrote to the Church at
Corinth, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the
flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely
powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and
every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking
every thought captive to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:3).
What rulers, what powers, what world forces, what fortresses, what
speculations, what lofty things, what spiritual forces of wickedness in
heavenly places, are we warring against? It is my firm belief that Satan and
all his demonic hordes are preparing to unleash one the greatest deceptions on
mankind that ever has been undertaken. This upcoming deception and wickedness
in the heavenly places will be as a result of Satan's signs and false wonders
for those who will perish because they did not receive the love of the truth
so as to saved ( 2Thess. 2:9-10). God will send on them a deluding spirit so
that they will believe what is false and will be judged (2Thess. 2:11).
What is this great deception? A deception so vast and sinister that it will
envelop the entire world in an instant when the last trumpet blows and the
Lord descends from the clouds to gather up all the righteous dead and those of
us who are alive and are His bride and we will ascend to be with Him in the
air (1Cor. 15:52, 1Thess. 4:16-17). Paul called this event the harpazo
(original Greek), the catching away (1Thess. 4:17). It became raptiere in the
Latin Vulgate and Rapture in English. It is my sincere belief that this
deception will be that those left behind will believe that we who were taken,
and millions will suddenly disappear, were actually abducted by UFOs rather
than have been caught up to be with the Lord in the air. Most people would
rather believe in aliens and UFO abductions than in the power of Jesus Christ
and in His word, the Bible. "The word of the cross is foolishness to those who
are perishing (1 Cor. 1:18). People love conspiracy theories and this
conspiracy of Satan and his minions is the mother of all conspiracies and is
in my humble opinion the truth. Could I be wrong? Absolutely, I could be
wrong, because only God knows what will happen, but after years of study and
prayer, I believe that this scenario is a very real possibility.
Military aviation historian Trevor James Constable once wrote that the battle
with UFOs is not for the planet of man but for the soul of man. There are no
more evolved super intelligent aliens out there. The Bible makes it clear that
man is the highest form of creation, created in the image of God Himself
(Genesis 1:26-27), that He created man for His own glory (Isaiah 43:7), that
man was wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), that the heavens are the heavens of
the Lord but the earth He has given to the sons of man (Psalm 115:16). We are
told that all things were created by Christ both in heaven and on earth, the
visible and the invisible, thrones and dominions all were created by Him and
for Him (Colossians 1:16). We are told to praise the Lord as are the angels,
the sun and the moon, the stars, because He established all (Psalm 148), And
finally we are told that there is only one God and only one mediator between
man and God and that is Jesus Christ (1Timothy 2:5).
Thus we do not need some ET to come and save us from the wrath to come. We do
not need some extraterrestrial savior to redeem a fallen mankind when we have
God's first begotten Son who came to earth and died for our sins (John 3:16).
If any more evolved aliens are ever discovered, than throw away your Bible
because it is false, but don't count on that ever happening. If these beings
ever appear, we will be deceived as to who they really are.
It is amazing that the Bible deals with this popular concept of
extraterrestrial entities interacting with mankind. These so called
extraterrestrial entities, however, are not from another galaxy but are
actually fallen angels from another spiritual dimension who have interacted
with mankind before as they went after the "strange flesh" of human females
and produced fallen offspring, the nephilim (Genesis 6:2-4). Doesn't this
sound similar to modern day accounts of alien impregnations of humans and
hybrid offspring? This is nothing new. This concept is 4000 years old. God
became angry with these rebellious angels and threw them into the pits of hell
forever chained (2Peter 2:4, Jude 6-7) and wiped out their corrupt DNA with
the flood (only Noah and his family were pure- Genesis 6:9). But other of
these fallen demonic angel spirits have reappeared over time (Numbers 13:33)
and now are preparing for Satan's great deception.
How else do you think that it will be explained to the left behind masses that
at the twinkling of an eye, suddenly millions of people have disappeared,
probably leaving their clothes, glasses, jewelry, hearing aides, pacemakers,
contact lenses, artificial hearts, hips, and knees, and even their tattoos
behind (1Cor. 15:53, 2Cor. 5:4). Why do you think that our modern
technological society is so enamored with aliens and UFOs and close encounters
of the third kind? Satan is preparing the masses left behind to believe that
we were taken by aliens in UFOs. Fallen angels have no need for spacecraft but
it is a modality that modern technological man will understand. Yes, there are
"UFOs", unidentified flying objects. Yes, there may have been some abductions.
But these are not aliens from another galaxy interacting with mankind but
fallen angels setting the trap for the one of greatest deceptions in mankind's
history. Satan is the prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2) and his
dominions control the skies above us and fill our minds with delusions and
lies.
There is one more piece to this end time deception puzzle. It also tells us
why the harpazo, the Rapture, could not have happened a hundred years ago. Not
only were there no "UFOs" or advanced lighter than air craft as we see today
but there was no modern day Israel. Isn't it interesting that the famous
alleged crash of an alien spacecraft took place at Roswell, NM in 1947 and
Israel once more became a nation in May of 1948? When Israel became a nation
again, Satan knew that his time was short and the Lord would be returning
soon. The countdown to Armageddon had begun in earnest and Satan had to move
quickly to brainwash and deceive the masses to believe in aliens and UFOs. UFO
sightings increased rapidly in the 1950s as did UFO movies and books and
magazines. Project Blue Book was set up by the US air force to try and explain
the phenomena. While the government was trying to hide the truth from the
people to prevent panic, in reality, they were being deceived to believe that
these craft/beings were highly advanced aliens rather than fallen angels bent
on their demise.
Satan hates the Jewish people because to them belongs the adoption as sons and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises, and whose are the fathers and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all (Romans 9:4-5). God used His first born chosen people, the Jews, through the Patriarchs, the Prophets and the Temple, to bring His word and truth to this earth and then sent His Son in a Jewish body to save the world from its sin and spread this through Jewish disciples. Satan hates God and His word and thus hates Jews and Christians. I thus believe that the Rapture (Harpazo) will begin first over Jerusalem and the site of the Temple Mount. The skies will be filled with UFOs and unbelieving Jews, Muslims and Gentiles will be deceived to believe that those who suddenly disappear were abducted by these UFOs.Trevor James Constable again was correct that the battle with UFOs was for the soul of man not the planet of man. - Stephen M.
