From the bible believing point of view, what are claimed to be “aliens” by the children of this world are in reality: unclean spirits, government agents, or cooperation between both. (Don’t laugh!)
Let’s Look at reality:
(1) Men have a need to believe in something greater than themselves in order to feel stability and hope for the future.
(2) Men will cling to any idea, no matter how outrageous or stupid, as a substitute for Jesus Christ.
(3) Satan has provided “aliens” as a substitute for the Lord, and aliens have all the proper qualifications:
Χ They are vastly more knowledgeable than we are. (They have the ability to come here, while we can’t get there!)
(Isaiah 55:9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”)
Χ They can help us in ways we can’t help ourselves, so men go to them to “get help”: crystal ball gazers, sooth sayers, mediums, tarot card readers, psychics, palm readers, tea leaf readers, water witches, possessors of “familiar spirits”.
(Isaiah 41:13 “For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.”)
Χ They are more powerful than we are, and we cannot resist them. (“Resistance is futile: you will be assimilated.”)
(Romans 9:19 “Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?”)
Χ They guide our destiny. (For example, they are given credit for leading the human race to its proper “evolutionary destination” through “interbreeding with early primates.” Evolutionists are now accepting this as a scientific explanation for their utterly bankrupt theories.)
(Proverbs 16:9 “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.”)
Χ They are different from us, and so they are mysterious. (And they do mysterious things!)
(Matthew 13:11 “He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.”)
(Colossians 1:21-29 “. . . even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints . . .”)
2nd Timothy 3:8 “Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.”
SATAN’S PLAN: Deceive the human race and get an advantage of them.
2nd Corinthians 2:11 “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”
(1) Camouflage His Devils Who Influence Deceived Men.
1st John 4:5 “They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.”
2nd Corinthians 11:14-15 “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”
It should therefore not be difficult to transform his fallen host as “aliens” to give scientific excuse to:)
Χ Do what the voices say to do. (“Hey, I couldn’t help it. The voices told me to do it.”)
Χ Think what the voices say to think. (Believe in evolution.)
Χ Preach another doctrine than Christ crucified. (“Hey it’s not my idea: the voices taught me.”)
Galatians 1:8 “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 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.”
(2) Take Away The Glory and Power of God In The Minds Of Men
[The scam is that the universe evolved on its own, and the “aliens” are the masters of it, “going where no man has gone before.” The Lord is left completely out of the picture.]
Psalm 33:6-10 “By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. . . . Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.” (Forget “E.T.”)
(Even if there were aliens, they would not be any thing special. They would be just another creation of the Lord.)
(3) Hide The Fact That This World Is Where The Warfare Is (It’s not in outer space or on other worlds!)
Luke 4:5-7 “And the devil . . . shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me. . . .”
Revelation 13:1-8 “. . . and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. * * * And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
2nd Corinthians 4:4 “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
(Satan is “the god of this world”.)
(He just isn’t ready to announce it to everybody yet, and is trying to remain somewhat anonymous!)
(I have been told by evil men that the bible (as a heavenly book) “doesn’t pertain to this scientific or natural world” and that if there were an all powerful God, he could have made MANY worlds with beings on them, and I should have no difficulty believing that possibility. The truth is that Jesus Christ only worked to save THIS planet, and this is where the action is.)
(A Few Examples:)
John 1:9 “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.”
v. 10 “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”
v. 29 “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son. . . .”
v. 17 “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
v. 19 “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world. . . .”
6:33 “For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.”
v. 51 “I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
12:46 “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.”
v. 47 “. . . I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.”
16:7-8 “And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin. . . .”
v. 28 “I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.”
17:11 “And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.”
v. 13 “And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.”
v. 18 “As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.”
v. 21 “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.”
John 18:37 “Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
John 17:15 “I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.”
1st John 4:14 “And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.”
[The Lord came to this world, to bear witness in this world, to men in this world, and then died in this world, at the hands of evil men of this world, so that we in this world who believe him might escape the power of “the god of this world”. The Lord left this world to send the Comforter to us in this world who believe on him that we might remain separate from this world.]
(And you say, “Earth science doesn’t have anything to do with the bible.”)
“Yea, well, men wrote the bible and they didn’t know about other worlds back in those days.”
Hebrews 1:1-2 “God . . . hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son . . . by whom also he made the worlds. . . .”
11:3 “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
“The bible is a religious book and it can’t be trusted for scientific information.”
Job 26:7 “He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.”
[Back in the days this was written, “Science” was postulating and pontificating all kinds of crap about the nature of the earth and how it was supported.
(See also vs. 11-14 and see that the purpose of this being written is to proclaim the glory and power of the Lord.)
“So, maybe Christ died on other planets for people there?”
Hebrews 9:25-28 “. . . Nor yet that he should offer himself often . . . but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. . . . so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many. . . .”
“Christ didn’t have to come to earth in flesh: he could have been an apparition or an illusion to serve as an example.”
1st John 4:3 “And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”
2nd John 1:7 “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”
WE’RE THE “ALIENS” IN THIS WORLD.
Job 19:15 “They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.”
Psalm 69:8 “I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.”
(prophecy of the Lord)
John 17:14-16 “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”
1st John 3:1 “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.”
1st Peter 2:11 “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims. . . .”
