A Possible End Time Deception

Isaiah 66:4.

I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
(King James 200)

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.
(NASB)

Matthew 24:23-24

"Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe him. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
(NASB)

2 Thessalonians 2:8-10

Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.
(NASB)

2 Corithians 11:14

No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
(NASB)

Those of us who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and listen to His Spirit get a sence that Jesus is soon coming. We look at the signs of Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. Wr see that the birth pangs are increasing with greater frequency. Satanic deception is increasing. It is invading even the evangelical church. So called believers in Christ will surround themselves with teachers who want to hear lies of Satan. But they hold the truth of Jesus Christ in derision. Because of this God will send them a delusion to believe what is false.

Lately I have seeing news feeds reporting on alien extraterrestrial life. Even the mainstream media are reporting the possibility of alien civilizations that are out in space attempting to communicate with us. Since the beginning of the year these news reports have increased. Reports where radio telescopes are supposedly picking up strange signals from outer space.

Personally I do not subscribe to alien civilizations attempting to contact us. But the thought has occurred to me. Is it possible that the great mass of humanity is being programmed by the news media to expect visitors from outer space. Is it possible that the enemy is working through the news media outlets the spread of deception of visiting aliens.

If so then it would stand to reason that perhaps the antichrist could be an alien. Perhaps the antichrist could be an alien hybrid that has been created in the laboratory.

When the antichrist does appear he will not announce himself as the man of lawlessness. The antichrist will probably be masquerading as an angel of light. The antichrist will be the long awaited Messiah for the Jews. The antichrist will be the mahdi that the Muslims are looking for. The antichrist will be a dalse christ that deceived Christians will be looking for. The antichrist will be the world leader that the nations are looking for. Is it possible that the antichrist will be revealed as an alien from a distant civilization. One who has been sent here to save us from ourselves. If so. Then Satan has certainly set up the greatest deception of all.

I am not necessarily saying that the antichrist will be an alien. But given the interest in extraterrestrial life I cannot help but wonder. The news media does a great job at spreading lies. Look how the news media has gotten a great majority of Americans to believe that homosexuality is just simply another lifestyle.

I only put this out on the forum for us to be aware. We need to be aware of the schemes of the evil one so that we ourselves will not be deceived. For Jesus did warn that the enemy would try to deceive if possible even the elect.

Ss the restraints are taken away we will see more demonic activity increase. But if we stay in intimate relation with Jesus. The true Jesus of the New Testament. And if we listen to His Spirit and the Word by prayer. He will keep us safe from demonic deception.

From Got Questions

Question: "Could an alien deception be part of the end times?"

Answer: We know that the events surrounding the end times, as described in the Bible, will include a powerful deception (Matthew 24:24). Recently, interest has been rising in the theory that this deception will include alien beings from another planet. Odd as it may seem, this theory is entirely plausible from a Christian perspective. Although the Bible gives us no word about whether or not aliens exist””there is no inclusion of them in the creation account in Genesis, and no mention of them elsewhere””the Bible does tell us about visitors from another world””the spiritual world.

Since the beginning, instances of demons (fallen angels) visiting the earth have been witnessed and recorded. We know from Eve’s encounter with Satan that demons are interested in monitoring (and altering) the progress of humanity. They want to be involved, with the goal of drawing humanity away from the worship of God and turning mankind’s attention instead to them. Another notable instance of their interaction with us is found in Genesis 6:4 with the arrival of the "sons of God." The Genesis account states that these powerful beings had sexual intercourse with women and produced a super race of beings known as the Nephilim. This sounds like the stuff of science fiction, yet it is right there in the Bible. There are striking similarities between this account and the accounts of other ancient cultures. The writings of the ancient Sumerians, for example (who were the first to produce a written language) mention the presence of the "Anunnaki” who were deities that came from heaven to dwell on earth with men. It is also interesting to note that the Sumerians’ gods often came to them in the form of snakes.

These accounts, seen alongside the amazing things created by ancient man, make it possible to theorize that demons, in the form of beings from another world, came to earth, bringing spectacular wisdom and knowledge to men, and "intermarrying” with their daughters in an attempt to draw men away from God. We already see from Eve’s experience with the serpent that demons will use the temptation of superior wisdom to ensnare man and that man is very susceptible to it.

Could the end times include a similar alien deception? The Bible doesn’t directly address the issue, but it is certainly plausible, for a variety of reasons. First, the Bible tells us that the world will unite under the power of the Antichrist. In order to achieve an agreement between all the world’s religions, it would make sense for the "uniter” to come from an entirely new source””an extraterrestrial source. It is hard to imagine one religion becoming head of all the others, unless new, unearthly knowledge were the source of the appeal and power of the new "religion.” This would be in keeping with past deceptions and would be a very effective way to deceive a large number of people.

Second, this deception could provide an answer to the problem of earth’s origins. The scientific theory that the evolution of life on earth was spontaneously generated still has no answer for life’s beginnings. There is evidence for a "big bang,” but that still doesn’t explain what caused the big bang to occur. If alien beings arrived and gave us an extraterrestrial explanation for life on earth, the origins of the world religions, and even the origins of our planet, it would be very persuasive.

That said, we should not fear. The Lord has said that He will not leave us or forsake us, and that He will protect us (1 Kings 8:57; Matthew 10:31; Isaiah 41:10). Demons / angels are not omnipotent, nor are they omnipresent. Jesus said that in the end times His appearing would be like the lightning””easily visible to all. He said to be wary of any being that says "I am the Christ” or any group that said "He’s over there” or "He’s in here” (Matthew 24:23-24). He said that vultures gather around a dead body, meaning that if you see a group of people gathering around someone claiming to be Christ, that person is death and a false prophet.

We should be wary of any person or being that produces signs and wonders without biblical fidelity or the presence of obedience to the Lord Jesus, anyone who provides a way to unite the world religions or governments (Revelation 13:5-8), any being that promotes unnatural sexual relationships (Genesis 6:4; Jude 1:6-7), and of course, any person that denies that Jesus is God (2 John 1:7). Furthermore, anyone who presents a "substitute” Jesus, who represents Him as "a god but not the God” or who claims He was merely a good teacher, simply a human, or even a super-human or an alien creature, is a deceiver.

Lastly, if demons manifesting as aliens are part of the end times, we should remember that they, too, are created beings, subject to a sovereign God, and ultimately answerable to Him. Whether in alien form or not, the descriptions of demons in Revelation are frightening (Revelation 9:1-12), but we should not fear those who can kill the body, but only Him who can kill the body and the soul in hell (Matthew 10:28). No matter what happens to us on the earth, we should trust that the Lord is the Savior, Redeemer, and Protector of the souls of those who put their trust in Him (Psalm 9:10; 22:5).

Best thread ever. I've prayed to the Lord about the end times for 30 years, and, while I don't know if there are aliens, I appreciate the thought and biblical references put in to your post, Bro Blaine. Outside the box.
