Sometime ago I wrote an article on this whole subject. I then found an
article on Tony Pearce's website "Light For The Last Days" which
gives a wonderful explanation and backs up my reasoning (in a better way than I
could present).
Also please check out this report from Answers In Genesis http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v3/n1/believe-in-ufos# Here is
my report:
First My UFO Explanation
What about sightings? From stories I've heard, most of those who
have had "real" alien experiences specifically abductions have at
some time or other been involved with the occult in some shape or another:
seances, astrology, yoga, tarot cards etc. This would indicate
that demonic
activity can be experienced by those who have been affected by demons or even
demon possessed. However, there may be some simple "earthly" or other
spiritual explanation.
The Old and New Testament teaches that Satan and his demonic cohorts are
able to manifest in many guises and disguises. For example a serpent in
the garden of Eden, pretending to be the ghost of a loved one or as an angel of
light. he is in the counterfeit business and is quite able to appear in a form
which will lead people into deception or fear and turn them away from the true
and Living God. Sometimes, he roars like a lion ,ie makes noises, but for the
believer has no bite. Those rapture reports given in the bible: Elijah,
Enoch, Jesus have to be explained away by satan, so what does he do?
He invents the whole idea of UFO's
(spaceships, aliens etc) and that people have been beamed up. Then when the
Church is raptured this will be the explanation that aliens have
done it.
The visions described in the bible, for example Ezekiel's vision, were
visions. They were not actual sightings. God gives visions to his prophets to
show them what will happen in the future and so they are seeing something in the
future - not in the present. As prophets are mere men and cannot grasp
the mighty things of God, often they see things in pictures to act as parables.
For example, the creatures all had 4 faces; all of these resemblng
his highest creatures on Earth. The vision was an allegory to teach the people
something about God and His creation. We see this in the book of Revelation.
Often God actually explains what the vision means. For example we are told the
beast with 10 horns = a union of 10 kings.
Now To The Report By Tony Pearce. As far as I am concerned it is
very conclusive that UFO's are demons and NOT aliens and NOT the return of
Nephilim (part human/part angels). Note: that the Book Of Revelation DOES
indicate that demonic activity will be rampant in the very last days. In these
last days (just before and after the rapture of the church) satan intends to
build an anti-God army of those influenced or possessed by demons, to destroy
God's people. However, he will be defeated and the souls of the followers of
Jesus will be safe in the arms of Jesus. I will stop here as I do not want to
get drawn into the Pre Trib, Post Trib debate.
Here is what Tony Pearce wrote:
When former US President Jimmy Carter
put a message in the Voyager spacecraft for aliens to read and hopefully
respond to, he was expressing the desire of many to make contact with some
other beings in the universe. Belief in visitors from outer space is not new –
it can be found in ancient Egyptian and Roman civilisation – but it is now
widely accepted as an undeniable fact that UFOs are real. The current
preoccupation with UFOs began in 1947 when Kenneth Arnold, a US pilot, claimed
to see 9 flying saucers at Rainer, Washington. Two weeks later it was claimed
that two UFO craft crashed in Roswell, New Mexico and that the US government
has since conducted secret experiments on alien corpses. Since then there have
been numerous sightings, some witnessed by thousands like one in Gibraltar in
1989.
95% of supposed sightings can be
explained away as not really UFOs. Either they are deliberate hoaxes or
something else – meteors, weather balloons, birds, tricks of the light or the
imagination of the viewer. But there are 5% which cannot be explained this way.
Michael Penfold looks at the possible ways to explain these sightings.
Option 1. They are visitors from outer
space
It is impossible for humans to go
outside this solar system to find out whether there is life in space, because
the distances are too great. But that does not stop us trying to find out if
there is life out there. A major motivation for the project to land a man on
Mars is to determine whether that planet has ever supported life forms. The
Seti (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) project is backed by some of
the world’s richest men and uses the most powerful radio telescopes to search
the universe for signs of life. However nothing has been discovered. Carl Sagan
has written, ‘The receipt of a single message from space would show that
the transmitting civilisation has survived. No such message has ever been
received.’
Life requires an incredibly fine
balance of circumstances to exist. A planet needs to be stable, the right
distance from the star so that it neither fries nor freezes, packed with the
ingredients to support life (air, water, soil etc), with an atmosphere
shielding it from dangerous elements in space and protecting the environment
below. There are at least 100 different parameters for life to exist and if any
of these were altered by a fraction life would disappear. Even if you have a
planet which has the right conditions to support life, you also need the right
circumstances for life to come into existence spontaneously if you accept the
theory of evolution. (We do not believe in evolution and have a number of books
and videos available on this subject).
If such a life form could come into
being in a distant galaxy it then has to develop the most incredible technology
to cover the vast distances in the universe to reach us. The nearest star to us
is 4.3 light years away. The Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light years wide. The
closest galaxy after the Milky Way is 1.5 million light years away. A
spacecraft travelling at one million miles a day would take 70,000 years to
cover the 4.3 million miles to the nearest star. To reach a distant star in the
Milky Way or another galaxy altogether and we are beginning to talk in terms of
millions of years.
A craft travelling at the speed of one
million miles a day would be going so fast that if it hit even a very small
object in space (which it probably would) it would explode. Leaving this
problem aside, only beings with the most incredible technology who have a life
span of millions of years and do not need a huge supply of food and drink to
keep alive could cross the universe in spacecraft. If we are to believe the claims
of UFO magazines such craft are not only making it across the universe but also
doing so in huge numbers. Almost every day there is a report of a sighting.
The sightings themselves raise a number
of problems. At the same event they may be seen but not photographed or
photographed but not seen. Despite apparently reaching incredible speeds of up
to 18,000 mph they have never given off a sonic boom. They violate the laws of
physics making 90% turns at very high speeds. They may change shape, size and colour
at random. This is not the behaviour of a physical craft or being. This raises
the possibility of a second option.
Option 2. They are supernatural
entities
Michael Penfold shows that this is the
most logical conclusion from the evidence available. He says that aliens are
supernatural beings manifesting in a form which makes them acceptable to the
modern mindset. Based on the evidence he also comes to the conclusion that they
are malignant supernatural beings, i.e. demons or evil spirits. Whereas in the
past evil spirits may have appeared as hobgoblins or ghosts or leprechauns
today people are reluctant to believe in those things. So they appear as aliens
– something which has become part of our mainstream culture through films like
‘ET’, ‘Independence Day’ and ‘Men in Black’. He gives 5
reasons why this explanation fits the facts.
1) ‘Aliens’ share the menacing
characteristics of demons
2) Alien abductions and UFO experiences
come primarily to those who are already involved in the occult.
3) Post alien abduction symptoms match
post occult experience symptoms.
4) Alien messages match the messages
channelled by demons.
5) Alien names match names of demons.
Whitley Striber, in his book
‘Communion’ about his supposed abduction by aliens, wrote ‘I felt an
indescribable sense of menace. Whatever was there seemed so monstrously ugly,
so filthy and dark and sinister. Of course they were demons. They had to be.’
David Jacobs in ‘Abductions and the ET
hypothesis’ wrote: ‘Physically the abduction experience can seriously harm
a person and significantly alter the course of one’s life. Although the
physical effects of abduction can be extremely severe it is the psychological
problems that have the most destructive effect.’
William Alnor in ‘UFOs in the New Age’
wrote ‘After reading literally hundreds of messages from space brothers
during the past several years and carefully analysing their views, I am
convinced that these entities are trying to sell humanity one of the biggest
deceptions of all time.’
Michael Penfold agrees that the UFO
phenomenon is all about spiritual deception. It ties in with other influences
like yoga, TM, hypnosis, Zen Buddhism, drug taking in altering consciousness so
that the normal function of the mind is bypassed by a spiritual entity aiming
to deceive. To back this claim up he cites the five main messages which have
been communicated by supposed contact between humans and aliens:
1) We are on the threshold of a New Age
of enlightenment.
2) God is an impersonal force of which
we are part. We are god and our divinity is within.
3) There is no death. We are endlessly
re-incarnated.
4) Good and evil are only illusions and
one side of the same coin.
5) Jesus is just a great teacher and
all roads lead to God.
This in itself should show us that
these entities are not aliens crossing billions of miles of space. Why would
they bother to make this hazardous journey in such vast numbers as is being
claimed, just to give us the same message as you can find in books on the
occult in most bookshops?
Dr Pierre Guerin, a secular researcher,
wrote in Flying Saucer Review Vol 25 No 1: ‘UFO behaviour is more akin to
magic than to physics as we know it. The modern UFOnauts and the demons of past
days are probably identical.’
To confirm this it is remarkable that
the names ‘aliens’ have given themselves are almost identical to the names
given to pagan gods and demons throughout history. UFO contacts have been
receiving messages from a being calling itself Ashtar for years. Variations of
this name such as Astaroth, Asharoth, Astarte appear ancient literature,
including the Bible, in relation to pagan gods. John Peel in ‘Operation Trojan
Horse’ writes, ‘Mr Ashtar has been around a very long time posing as
assorted gods and demons and now in the modern phase as another glorious
spaceman.’
This raises the conclusion that these
supposed visitors from outer space come from very much closer to home. We are
not alone in the universe but we live alongside angels and fallen angels. Human
rebellion against God has opened us up to the deception of Satan and his
demons.
Most of the manifestations of UFOs come
in the form of ‘bright lights in the sky.’ The Bible tells us that Satan
is ‘the prince of the power of the air’(Ephesians 2.2), that he is able to
produce ‘lying signs and wonders’ (2 Thessalonians 2.9) and that he
is able to transform himself into ‘an angel of light’ (2 Corinthians
11.14). Satan is using this phenomenon to change the way we think and to soften
us up to accept his counterfeit Messiah, the Antichrist, as the answer to human
ills. He also wishes to blind people to the real truth, the Gospel, and take as
many people to hell with him as possible.
Going back to the 5 main messages of
UFOs mentioned above, they are all wrong.
1) We are not on the threshold of a New
Age of enlight-enment, but on the edge of the Great Tribulation, the worst time
in human history which will precede the glorious return of the Lord Jesus the
Messiah to the earth to judge the world in righteousness.
2) God is not an impersonal force, but
a loving heavenly Father who can be known through faith in Jesus the Messiah.
3) We have one chance to get it right
in this life. The lie of the devil in the Garden of Eden is ‘You shall not
die … you will be like God’ (Genesis 3.4-5). This is being recycled in the
New Age Movement of which UFO culture is a part. In fact after death we face
the Day of Judgement when we give account of our lives to God.
4) The idea that right and wrong are
only illusions and part of the same whole is Chinese Taoist philosophy which is
also being recycled for popular consumption through movies like Star Wars and
the Harry Potter books. In fact God is the Creator of all things and wholly
good. The Bible teaches us the difference between good and evil and how to live
in the light of God’s truth. Satan is a created being who is the source of evil
and who is doomed to spend eternity in the lake of fire.
5) There is one way we can avoid
joining him in this fate – through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus the
Messiah who died as a sacrifice for our sins and rose again from the dead to
give eternal life to all believers. Jesus is a great teacher, but not just a
great teacher. He is God made flesh who revealed the ultimate truth to all
mankind. Humanity has once been visited on earth, not from outer space, but
from Heaven itself. If we reject the words of this heavenly visitor, then there
is no further enlightenment coming for us from anywhere else.
Simon Edge writing in the Daily Express
(14/4/04) explains the widespread belief in UFOs: ‘People often say it
would be lonely otherwise. Certainly there is something infinitely terrible
about the emptiness of the universe – think of the scene in the movie Moonraker
in which a space walking astronaut is cut off from his craft and floats
screaming into eternity. In an irreligious age, fear of the void is even
greater.’
There is no need to have this fear. We
can make contact with an infinitely good God who cares for us and is able to
communicate by the Holy Spirit to help us and guide us through this life. He
also gives answers to the big questions: ‘Where do we come from? Why are we
here? How can we know what is right? Where are we going?’ Don’t be conned by
the subtle deceptions of our culture. Follow Jesus who says, ‘I am the
light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall
have the light of life.’ John 8.12."

I'm just looking down avenues of explanation that people would
understand.
Over here in the States, the cable channels like History and Discovery are always
talking about UFO's. And I have discovered that people are more open to talking
about UFO's than Christ. But, I've also used the whole UFO thing as a
springboard to share the Gospel.
I don't know if the Nephilim exist today. I don't even know for sure what they
are :-) I do find them intriguing at the very least.
This is just to let you know that I don't expect to be around for several days,
so I am not ignoring any posts.

YES!!! 'Aliens' are demonic manifestations from the spirit dimension, NOT other
worldly creatures from planets in space.
God has permitted 'them' to reveal themselves as much as 'ghosts' are seen for
some good reason - ?
They are the same difference as the u.f.o's, and during the Trib this will
become rampant imo.
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord will raise up a standard against
him.
Jesus is Lord. Maranatha!

THE United Nations was set today 26/9/2010 to appoint an obscure Malaysian
astrophysicist to act as Earth’s first contact for any aliens that may come
visiting.
Mazlan Othman, the head of the UN's little-known Office for Outer Space Affairs
(Unoosa), is to describe her potential new role next week at a scientific
conference at the Royal Society’s Kavli conference centre in Buckinghamshire.
She is scheduled to tell delegates that the recent discovery of hundreds of
planets around other stars has made the detection of extraterrestrial life more
likely than ever before - and that means the UN must be ready to coordinate
humanity’s response to any “first contact”.
During a talk Othman gave recently to fellow scientists, she said: “The
continued search for extraterrestrial communication, by several entities,
sustains the hope that some day humankind will receive signals from
extraterrestrials.
"When we do, we should have in place a coordinated response that takes
into account all the sensitivities related to the subject. The UN is a
ready-made mechanism for such coordination.”
“Othman is absolutely the nearest thing we have to a ‘take me to your leader’
person.”

I was hesitant in publishing this because I don't really want to give support
of or condone (in any way) this complete madness.
However, it is true that large numbers of people believe in this nonsense -
probably because of occultic practices in their life. Such people have already
been primed by demons to embrace this UFOlogy.
I now publish this comment because it highlights how the masses are being
primed for "signs in the heavens" which precedes the revealing and
appearance of the antichrist - the one who is possessed by satan (not just
demons but satan himself),
Your article shows up how all things (including this) are falling into place
for the commencement of the Great Tribulation.
Praise God that He will spare true believers from "wrath" and will rescue
us before these things happen.
For all readers: That was a "one off" rapture comment. I will not get
into debate here about that subject. Am just casually mentioning it because it
relates to this UFO subject.
God bless
