END TIMES

Delusional Speculations

LINKS — For Further Flights of Fancy

The existence of life on other planets is now considered likely by a majority of people in the U.S. Countless movies and TV programs are based on this belief, and, although Flying Saucer they are usually characterized as “science fiction,” the fiction is often regarded as science fact. Even if the plots and sets may be outlandish at times, the basic premise, that there is life on other planets, is a given.

Moving from the belief that there is life on other planets to the belief that life from outer space is able to visit earth is a natural progression. Though scientists say it is next to impossible due to the extreme distances in space, science fiction has taken care of that with warps and jumps and worm holes. Some believe the outer-space life already visiting the earth is from another dimension altogether, so the aliens would not be limited by the physical constraints of time and space.

That's what I believe, too, that the life is from another dimension. But I believe these creatures are based here on earth and are not from other planets. I have a Biblical view of the situation: these creatures are fallen angels. And the creatures are liars and deceivers.

Can you imagine how the world would react to a presentation of spacecraft similar to those at Devil's Tower at the end of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”? Can you imagine how the world would respond to a landing on the White House lawn, televised on CNN? And what if the alien occupants of the spacecraft announced their intention to usher in world peace and provide solutions to the world's problems?

To Serve Man I believe this may be the key element of the “strong delusion,” the mass deception that will overtake the earth during the end times (2Th 2:9-11). It will probably be mixed in with worship of the Antichrist and his image (Rev 13:14-15). There will certainly be a religion wrapped around it. And the most appealing feature for the world at that time? No need for Jesus, God, or judgment. The two original lies told by the serpent to Eve, “Ye shall not surely die” (Gen 3:4), and “Ye shall be as gods” (Gen 3:5), will be at the heart of the deception.

The arrival of space aliens to earth is a common TV and movie theme. But more often than not, the outcome is disaster for earth. I think Hollywood got it right at the end of a well-known Twilight Zone episode: the book “To Serve Man” has finally been translated — “it's... it's a cookbook!”
