Aliens, UFOs, and ET
We keep hearing of Aliens, Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), extra-terrestrials, and Martians (inhabitants of planet Mars) more frequently than ever today. As recently as July 4th, 2023, I read a news article about Aliens helping Western governments develop spacecraft. There are UFO experts that come up with their photographs and reports of UFO sightings and human encounters with Aliens. “Close Encounters of the third kind” (1977, Steven Spielberg) and a lot more feature films have taken this theme to billions around the globe.
The earth has been given to human beings by God. (Psalms 115:16). He made it inhabitable by providing the right environment – physical constants, water in liquid form, atmosphere, ecosystem, et al. The land surface has been given to us for us to cultivate crops, build our dwellings, and share our lives with our fellow beings. Water bodies quench our thirst, help maintain the right temperature, and provide us with marine food too. An expedition to the moon's surface, numerous voyages to Space, and several journeys to the bottom of the sea by mankind keep proving that these places are certainly not meant for our habitation. A ‘journey to the center of the earth’ is still fiction. A trip to our next nearest neighbor Mars is an impossibility!
Are aliens real?
Is there intelligent life comparable to or exceeding ours on this planet? Is it elsewhere in the universe? This has remained a troubling question for us for millennia. The search for such life has given birth to many unproven theories, hypotheses, and assumptions that keep the gullible people around us on their toes. The so-called super-intelligent wisemen (called scientists) have succeeded in making innocents believe what has never been substantiated with evidence.
But, is the Bible, the word of God silent on the subject? No. The Scriptures have a lot more to say on the subject than any book in the world. Unfortunately, we have willingly ignored this only-reliable source of truth and have succeeded in building stories according to our whims and fancies. And there is always a crowd that dances to the tune of the orchestra which is under the spell of an evil orchestrator. Others join in with little or no clue about what is happening.
Aliens in the Bible?
The Bible mentions aliens even in its first book Genesis. And aliens are found conspiring against mankind throughout our history of existence. There is a lot about them in its last book Revelation too which also deals significantly with future events. So, God intends that we should be aware of these aliens, their evil nature, their strategies to enslave us, and their unsuccessful attempts to thwart the purpose of God for mankind.
According to the Bible, aliens are spirit beings, created by God. However, they could (and can still) take human form occasionally to communicate and cohabit with mankind and even produce physically abnormal but always morally corrupt offspring. Many such beings have performed exploits in the past which normal mankind cannot accomplish and they keep doing them even now!
God created everything, including the spirit beings. Initially, all of them were ‘sons of God’ because God created them. They were all one huge holy unit that worshipped God. They praised Him in unison when He laid the foundation of the earth. When the God of heaven created the earth, He made it His footstool.
Soon afterward, a third of these beings turned hostile, having been coaxed by one, Lucifer, who wanted to usurp the throne of God, unmindful of the fact that he is after all a creation with limited wisdom, power, and might – all of these vested in him by his Creator. God is the only omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient One Who can never be outsmarted by any of His creations.
The chief alien Lucifer
Lucifer was overtaken by his beauty, wisdom, and special privilege to stay close to God’s throne. He became puffed up, haughty, and proud of his position; he also probably envied God Who was continuously worshipped by his angelic beings. He abused his God-given freewill to turn against his Creator. He traded with other spirit beings (promising them better prospects/worship from others?) and might have even arm-twisted some of them to attain his uncouth ambition to receive worship as god. The self-deceived one deceived others around him!
God drove Lucifer – now called Satan or God’s adversary – down from His abode, heaven, to His footstool, the earth. Satan, also called D'evil and the Old Serpent/ Dragon swept down with his tail, a third of the spirit beings who allied with him to rebel against the holy God. Satan, with his perverts, fell into darkness, far from the light of God. These are the aliens of today.
These aliens/ enemies occupied the earth’s atmosphere until God created the sky/firmament and all heavenly bodies including the sun, moon, other planets, stars, and galaxies as we know them today. This He did on the fourth day of Creation as per Genesis Chapter One. From then on, they could move about in the first and second heavens. Access to the third heaven is blocked forever for them, including their leader.
Even after the fall, the Evil one did not come to his senses. He tried to keep the fallen ones together with him by continuous deception, hiding his evil intention to pursue his sinful desire to be like God. He said in his 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”. -Isaiah 14:13, 14.
(There are the other angelic/ spirit beings who remain loyal to their Creator. They run at the bidding of God and keep worshipping Him. They are sent to the earth by God, time and again, to accomplish His purpose and to wait on His children. These are not aliens in the negative sense but the Allies of God’s people).
The eternal purpose of God
The all-knowing God had factored in all these events even before He created anything at all. He would bring more sons to His glorious abode, all who would bow to Him wholeheartedly, with no grudge, reservations, or benefit in return. Only this time, it would be from among His supreme creation – mankind - who would bear His image and likeness.
Satan did not want mankind to be favored by God. The devil would not bear the elevation of mankind to ‘sons of God’, a position he lost and that, forever. He made the very first man fall victim to his deceptive vomit, the very thing he swallowed – they would become like God. They would exercise their will to decide for themselves what is good or evil. However, he cunningly kept back the fact that they would always choose evil if they break away from God Who is goodness personified.
Satan's failed attempts to thwart the purpose of God
Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. -Genesis 6:1, 2.
There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came into the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. -Genesis 6:4. The pyramids, ziggurats, and gopurams of the world and the unexplainable mysterious structures spread on it everywhere are the works of these architects, builders, and craftsmen. Some super-intelligent individuals could even perform deeds as if they had more than one head to think and process information. Many idols worshipped today are replicas of these hulk-bodied forefathers (and mothers) and depict three to even ten heads and multiple hands (with surprisingly just two legs!).
Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. -Genesis 6:5.
Alien invasion of human civilization
Satan and his alien lot have managed to fool a huge population of mankind by promising riches, power, and fame in the world in return for their allegiance to them. Mankind stoops to any abysmal level to attain this temporal glory, compromising on their morals, righteous behavior, and lawful dealings with their fellowmen.
Aliens, as spirit beings, have possessed selective human beings throughout history trying to bring to a standstill the purpose of God. However, they have always failed miserably. Their leader even tried to upset God’s purpose by tempting the Son of God when He condescended as a perfect human being on this earth. The first time, as mentioned in the Scriptures, it was direct. Other times afterward, it was by possessing men around Jesus, one at a time. It was Judas many times and it was Peter once. However, the devil failed again and again, comprehensively.
Alien's strategy unveiled
Fast forward.
A very significant set of people in the world are called the seed of Satan but are popularly known as Scientists. They take the side of the aliens to fool the unquestioning public with their lies. (The devil is notably called the father of lies). With a lot more authors, politicians, and religious gurus around, the aliens have trapped a huge population in their worldwide web and under their (inter)net. They want to steal, kill, and destroy humankind – our spirit, soul, and body.
The aliens keep enticing terrestrial weaklings with celestial destinations, none of which would serve a human purpose. Super-human abilities are exhibited by ordinary people when they are possessed by one or more of these spirits. (Hritik Roshan’s Krishh and Surya’s Bodhidharmar of Ezhaam Arivu fame are examples). While we do not see thirty-foot-tall giants nowadays, we witness five to six-foot-tall ordinary people exhibiting extraordinary skills impossible for most of us. This has also given birth to many superheroes in films and web series that are adored by young and old fans equally well. Even if they cannot do like one, many at least want to dress like one.😀.
Alien attacks today
Currently, heads of states, businesses, and financial institutions are the targets of aliens. Satan himself possesses people who are decision-makers that influence or impact global policies that tend to hinder God’s purpose and put God’s people in pain, trouble, and persecution. Closer at home, as a believer, if you are not vigilant enough, an alien spirit might possess one in your family to bring about chaos, death, and destruction.
Technological marvels are performed by humankind enabled by this evil spirit world. Artificial Intelligence is one such effort by the enemies of God to remove Him from the picture and focus, projecting humans as all-knowing, all-pervading, all-powerful gods.
The aliens have capitalized on the ignorance of the majority of inhabitants of the world and have managed to keep them in the ‘dark’ so that they do not see the obvious that is unfolding very much before their eyes. They are taken on a ride by the popular as well as social media with a lot of bluff and dishonest stuff. Many seriously believe that aliens are far away from our civilization and keep visiting us time and again in a flying saucer. They do not know that these are spirit beings functioning at close range to us, (not in Area 51 in the US or the Bermuda Triangle as many suppose), trying to manipulate our minds and drive action. They are not grey. They are ‘black’, meaning, they belong to the dark world.
There are also a few whistle-blowers among the evil propagators. Some of these have dared to tell us that the universe is filled with dark matter – 99% of it. And that is as far as we know.
But how are we to deal with these aliens? Can we deal with them at all? Or will the aliens conquer us and bring an end to human civilization?
How does God deal with these aliens?
God, in His perfect wisdom, has recorded in His word, how He is dealing with His enemy and his evil allies and how He is going to bring an end to this long-drawn conflict. Here we go…
When man fell to the deception of Satan, God revealed His divine plan to redeem sinful mankind back to Himself. The Son of God would reveal God to man as His image-bearer. This promised Seed of the woman would bruise the head of the Serpent. The Lamb of God would, on the course of doing so, be bruised at His heal by the Serpent; Jesus would lay down His life as the sin-bearer of the world; The Savior would die on the cross on behalf of the entire human race. Christ would be the Way for the sinner to return to God. The Lord would forgive their sins when they come believing.
The prince of this world Satan and his alien kingdom would be ultimately defeated by God and His spiritual children called believers, chosen from among the unbelieving earthlings. Satan, his allies, the antichristian world, the false prophets, all unbelievers who have taken the side of Satan would be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone in the end.
How can humans deal with aliens?
Would you want to be on the winning side? Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and come to Him with genuine repentance in your heart for the evil life you have lived so long. Plead with God to accept you as His child. Ask the Holy Spirit of God to fill you so that you can confront the evil aliens.
You do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. -Ephesians 6:12. So, you need to be strong in the Lord and the power of His might.
You must put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. -Ephesians 6:10-11. Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. -Ephesians 6:13-17. “Resist the devil and he will flee from you”,-James 4:7 says another encouraging promise of God.
Our citizenship is in heaven. -Philippians 3:20. We are sojourners here. Looking forward eagerly to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, all the while warning people of the ensuing and imminent danger of eternal doom, (save with fear, pulling them out of the fire - Jude 23), is the best way to live our lives here on earth. We must keep looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; -Titus 2:13. If we submit to God, we will not be carried away by the end-time flood of deception spewed out by Satan (seemingly water but causing great destruction as per Revelation 12:15); we can remain faithful to our Father in heaven, empowered by the Holy Spirit of God in us.
