I just read Terry’s article “Alien Deception” in Skywatch that was featured at Rapture Ready on July 1, 2021. I think he has it absolutely right. I, too, would like to share some thoughts on this topic.
Right up front, since I consider the Bible as the most reliable witness of all, then intelligent entities are either:
A) God, the ultimate intelligence of all B) Angels (good or evil) C) Humans Now, if there really were sentient ET’s out there, I believe such a thing would be important enough to be mentioned in the Bible. I can’t think of a single instance of that, so that takes care of D), as far as I’m concerned.
Also, in the Bible, God or the angels never appear as coming to Earth in some kind of vehicle, though some people have considered Ezekiel’s exotic visions as UFO accounts. Seems to me more like a case of the prophet describing a vision of heaven which simply cannot be encompassed by mere words. It is unreasonable to think that God or that angels sent by him need some kind of machinery to make an appearance. They just appear in a manner and at a time that’s the most appropriate when required.
So, that leaves the source of UAP/UFO’s as either human or demonic.
In the first case, I think it’s possible that there is top-secret human-based research which could be the source of some of these sightings. I’ve seen the B2 in flight and, if I didn’t know humans built it, I sure wouldn’t exclude the possibility that it was extraterrestrial.
If some of these weird sightings aren’t of human origin, then that leaves only the second case.
The Bible tells us that the Antichrist and False Prophet will tap into Satan’s dark treasure chest to help fool humanity during the Tribulation. We also know that when people play around with the occult, it opens them up to the works of the devil and his demonic allies – hence the biblical prohibitions against such activity. Since deception is Satan’s accustomed and biggest weapon, why not create the UAP/UFO phenomena we now see to lead people astray?
What does puzzle me is this: Why has everything released to the public so far been such a lousy job of special effects? I have yet to see a really clear picture of a supposed alien spaceship or someone producing a piece of exotic hardware that could never have been made on Earth. Could such things be successfully hidden from the public for decades, at least?
I just don’t see how this sort of thing could be suppressed for this long. I mean, Nixon finally got caught concerning Watergate, and this would be an exponentially bigger story. What about that recent report that just came out? Doesn’t seem to tell us much more than, “Well, we don’t know what these things are.” It is a big “Much ado about nothing” deal, as I see it. It reminds me a lot of the current Covid-19 situation, which has shown us just how many people can be led astray on pretty flimsy and contradictory “evidence.”
That being said, imagine how these same people would react if the devil decides to deliver up some serious “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” special effects in the days ahead. But maybe he can’t while believers are still around, his ability to do so being inhibited by the presence of the Holy Spirit which indwells them.
What about after the Rapture?
Using the Book of Revelation as our guide, it would not surprise me at all for something exactly like this to happen along with all the other false miracles the” Man of sin” and False Prophet will produce to make most of the human race fall on their knees before them.
Luckily, those of us who have accepted Jesus won’t be here for those last terrible years.

Well I guess that settles it then. Ed thinks aliens would have got a shout out in God's Word, and who are we to argue otherwise.
“if there really were sentient ET’s out there, I believe such a thing would be important enough to be mentioned in the Bible”
That makes sense, but if there is no one else out there, why is there so much universe? Why create trillions upon trillions of stars and planets if there is only one you care about?
The universe is so vast that I believe there are probably innumerable planets at this very moment hosting intelligent life, but since they are all separated by millions of light years it doesn't matter, because none of them will ever detect hide-nor-hair of the others, much less interact.
This is a religion thread - note that before you post next time.
They have the tech, motive, and mindset. Put nothing past them.
Yes, religion.
And Ed - whoever he is - is not a final authority on same.
The “heavens” are rolled up like a scroll from God’s perspective.
Isaiah 45:12 & Nehemiah 9:6
We think it’s bizarre, but in contrast to the universe He created, man is God’s greatest creation according to Him.
We’re just that important to Him. That’s why the cosmic war for souls is at the heart of the conflict between the devil and God.
Eventually, the entire universe will be recreated - even bigger and better (not hard to imagine that given this ugly world). Hope to see you there!
“there are probably innumerable planets at this very moment hosting intelligent life, but since they are all separated by millions of light years it doesn’t matter, because none of them will ever detect hide-nor-hair of the others, much less interact.”
I think that is the most likely structure to the universe. It does raise some big theological questions.
*Are all of these isolated worlds with intelligent life equally beloved by God?
*Would the Jesus story have been reenacted on all of them?
*Are the end times only on a planetary level? Does each species have it’s own time to be judged?
More thqan one error in the rendering on the Bible revelations. Also, the author is poorly educated about dimensional reality.
“Man is God’s greatest creation according to Him.”
Man is ranked lower than the angels (Heb 2:9, Psa 8:5)
Gen 1. makes clear man is superior to the plants and the animals and has dominion over the Earth.
Does scripture preclude other beings equal to man that have dominion over other worlds?
We’re actually higher than Angels.
We’ll judge them one day, at least those who make it to Heaven will.
1 Corinthians 6:3
1 Peter 1:12
Hebrews 1:14
Hebrews 2:5
All non sequitur to human relationship to and with The God.
“The Great Endtimes Lie.”
Seems this Covid has earned
A Spot on the List.
UFOs exist. I have seen a few. Anything beyond that is simply speculation.
“I believe such a thing would be important enough to be mentioned in the Bible.”
Hey Ed,
God doesn’t give a rip what you believe.
Just saying.
L
Wouldn't that presume that the others had done something for which they needed to be redeemed?
I think there are two aspects. Man was “made lower than the angels.” The Bible is explicit on that.
In the current time the angels are servants, but the Son was also a servant so that does not imply a lower status.
When the Kingdom of God comes those that are saved will rise to be beside God. At that point they will be superior to the Angels.
Why would Ed be a topic of your conversation(s) with God? Are there not more important topics to discuss?
