Will UFOs Be Used to Explain Away the Rapture?
RR & christianprophecy.org ^ | 8/2/2020 | Interview w/Billy Crone

Posted on 08/02/2020 4:43:58 PM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

To answer this question, we invited Billy Crone, the senior pastor of Sunrise Baptist Church in Las Vegas, Nevada, and founder of Get A Life! Ministries, to our television program Christ in Prophecy. Billy covered a number of sensationalist Bible prophecy topics such as UFOs and the Nephilim.

Aliens Unmasked

Nathan Jones: Billy, when it comes to sensationalist Bible prophecy, often we’re talking about UFOs. You’ve done a lot of research into UFOs. Can you explain why you approach UFOs so often in your teachings?

Billy Crone: UFOs were part of my background when I was involved in the occult and New Age before I became saved. In the New Age, one of the big subjects is UFOs and the lie that is going on about them. Quite a lot of sensationalism and deception has been going on with that topic. It’s a topic that we the Church do need to get equipped on because the Scriptures, I believe, give us the answer.

Whether we accept it or not, our world is enthralled with the topic of UFOs and aliens. Right now, just looking at current statistics in the United States of America, more people believe in the existence of UFOs and aliens than they do in the existence of God. More people in the United States of America believe that aliens have visited planet Earth than Jesus is the Son of God.

So many people are obsessed with UFO-ology, because Hollywood has been promoting it. The lie of Evolution sets the foundation for this study. UFO-ology has become the new religion of the 21st Century in our own country. Its adherents believe that aliens are going to save them, not God.

We need to deal with this new religion because our world is being led astray. Plus, the Scriptures say we are to give a defense for the hope that lies within us.

From a biblical perspective, number one, you know that there is something deceptive going on because the very nature and the whole premise of UFOs is built on a lie. It is called the lie of Evolution. When these aliens are supposedly going to show up, they’re expected to say, “We’re a higher, evolved race.”

Stop right there! Evolved? Wait a second. Evolved equals Evolution. Well, Evolution is not true. We were created by God! We didn’t come from the goo, to the zoo, to me and you. No, we came from God, right?

But, the whole alien premise, their whole identity when they supposedly show up on the scene, is a lie. Now, go back to the Scriptures. In John 8, what does Jesus say? “Satan is not only a murderer, and he’s been one since the beginning, he’s a liar, and he’s the father of all lies.” The alien’s claim to evolutionary superiority tells you right out of the gate that you are being deceived.

The other lie aliens are supposed to make, too, is they’ll claim, “We are here to give you some incredible messages, and we’ve come all the way across the universe to give you this important information.” When you look at what they are “sharing,” it’s all about debunking Jesus, the Bible, God, and salvation. These supposed alien visitors claim there is no such thing as sin. They say that we need to combine into a one-world religion and a one-world government. I kid you not! They claim humanity needs to follow a one-world ruler, or we are going to be destroyed. They say that we need to worship Mother Earth.

These alien visitors actually have the audacity to say that Satan is a good guy who has come to free us! Now, excuse me, that is demonic, that is a deception, that is a lie.

Then they say, in order to receive these messages, you have to let them take over a person’s vocal cords, and speak through people with their messages. Stop right there! These aliens are supposed to be this highly evolved, technologically advanced race, much more scientific than we are, for that’s how they supposedly traveled here across the cosmos, right? But then, they cannot communicate to us by just sending a text message or calling us on the phone? I’ll even take an old handwritten letter. Why do they have to take over people’s vocal cords and speak through them?

Folks, that’s demonic possession. That’s exactly what demons do!

I believe the bulk of UFO sightings can be explained by natural experiences. But then, there’s an element that we need to take a look at closely to see what is going on there. Secular guys are confirming that there is one way to get rid of these aliens 100% of the time. When you command them in the name of Jesus Christ to flee, they flee instantly!

One lady I interviewed in Oregon who had this encounter said when she did that, not only did the “aliens” flee out of there, they fled out of there so fast they were tripping over each other. Now, wait a second; who flees in the name of Jesus? That’d be a demon. They didn’t flee due to the name of Mohammed, or Buddha, or Confucius. No, just the name of Jesus Christ.

UFOs to Explain the Rapture

Billy Crone: UFO-ology is leading to the last day’s deception. In order to fall for the lie of UFOs, you first have to fall for the lie of Evolution. This tells you how slowly and methodically the Enemy has been setting up the planet for this great deception. He started back in the 1850’s with Charles Darwin who has now permeated the planet with his Theory of Evolution.

Secondly, Evolution gets some help from Hollywood. They glamorize aliens and UFOs. Everybody then “knows” there must be real live aliens out there. As a matter of fact, you’re considered a wacko for not believing that aliens must be real. Folks, science fiction is leading society to somewhere.

I remember back before I was saved and was immersed in the New Age. I received these so-called “channeled messages” from supposed space aliens. Now that I’m saved, I know that was all demonic. In my documentary, I actually quote these demons who are continually preparing the way to explain away the Rapture of the Church.

The Rapture of the Church is true. The Bible teaches about that soon- coming event. Put yourself, if you will, in the Enemy’s shoes. Soon there will be an event that will occur around the globe where millions of people from all across the planet instantaneously disappear, and they’ll specifically only be Christians. You just can’t spin that baby. You can’t hide that event. So, you better come up with some good excuse.

Think about how slowly and methodically the Enemy has been preparing their lie to explain away the Rapture. It started with Evolution back in the 1850s, and Hollywood has perpetuated it today. All somebody has to do right after the Rapture is stand up on the world scene, maybe somebody even like the pope, and try to reassure people. He may say, “Hey, people! I just want you to know you were right all along. The government has been hiding this truth from you. UFOs and aliens are real. See, that’s why all of these people have disappeared. It was aliens. They beamed all of those Christians up to their ships.”

Nathan Jones: Isn’t that a central tenant of New Age teaching, that when Maitreya returns, after Christians have been taken off this planet, that humanity can at last evolve to their true states without those accursed Christians holding people back?

Billy Crone: That is another one of Satan’s lies. It’s very convenient, I dare say. Think about how much UFOs have permeated the mindset of people. They are going to fall for that excuse for the Rapture lickety-split.

They’ll actually spin the fact that the world has been left behind into a seemingly good thing. Jesus said the seven-year Tribulation will be the worse time in the history of mankind. But, no, these deceivers will spin that being left behind was a blessing. “You are a chosen one. Now you get to be a part of the Age of Utopia as we rebuild the planet in a wonderful time of peace.”

How crazy! After all, the event that starts the seven-year Tribulation will be the Antichrist. As Daniel 9:27 and Revelation 6:1 reveal, this White Horse Rider initiates a false peace. The people will go, “This is true. Look! He made a deal in the Middle East that nobody could do. How amazing! We’ve at last got peace on our planet. Everybody has come together, even religion and government. How amazing! How wonderful!” Nope! You just found yourself left behind in the seven-year Tribulation. It wasn’t UFOs that sucked those people up. That was Jesus Christ coming back to collect His Bride.

Especially in a time of crisis and on such a massive scale, human nature gravitates toward any lame excuse just to maintain one’s sanity. Aliens are not a lame excuse for the Rapture because, with this one, the world is ripe to fall for it.

Nathan Jones: Some people theorize that the Antichrist might arrive claiming that he is an alien, sort of like Superman. I don’t know where they get that, but do you think they may be correct?

Billy Crone: Well, sure. Why not? You’ve got some people who say the Antichrist will be a Muslim. Where in the Bible are they reading that one? The origins of the Antichrist, unfortunately, is often a topic people sensationalize. In doing so, they lead people astray from the biblical teaching. Such a theory may warrant our attention, but stick purely with the Bible.

I’m convinced this fascination with UFOs provides us a great opportunity to witness to the lost. The lost are enthralled with UFOs and aliens, and to me, it provides a fantastic opportunity to share the Gospel with them.

It appears you are conflating the Body of Christ with the Jews and Israel. It might help you reason this out better if you can differentiate pre Church age Saints (like Abraham and Moses), Church Age saints, and Tribulation saints. One thing is certain, No human will be in Heaven except through Christ and His work, not yours or mine.

Credibility begins in knowing WHO the ‘anti-Christ’ is. He has been identified since Moses penned Genesis 3:15..... The first ‘jesus’ on the scene promising not a ‘rose garden’ but a quick trip out of here is NOT Christ our Saviour... See why Christ was described as a ‘thief in the night’, because the whole earth has bent a knee to Baal.. a bit of Paul's writings in the mix...

Cult that....

You start by stating as if it is axiomatic that which you are pretending to prove: “... and descend with them to the mount of Olives in the same day ...” There are several ‘events’ which take place in Heaven, with the raptured Body of Christ before the descent to the Mount of Olives with the Redeemed arrayed in white. Things go down hill from that false assertion.

Very strange for one who claims Christian, to accuse the WORD of being ‘twisted’?

.... I am reminded of Paul penning

Romans 11:8
“(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.”

I am accusing you, not The Word. You know that yet you tried to mischaracterize. Is that part of your agenda, to make false accusations so you can focus upon them? In any event, you just proved you are one to stay away from because you are openly dishonest. Bye

My studies of 2 Thess 2:3 is a supporting scripture in the context of the letter from Paul to those worried that the Day of The Lord had arrived. Believe or not believe, it will not effect your salvation.

There is NO such Scripture to base this claim. Christ sure never made any such statement... This earth belongs to the Creator and He intents on reclaiming it, and He very much expects some to stand again for Him. Who is the ‘anti-Christ’? Absolutely necessary knowledge to not fall for the deception that this world is already in up to its global eyeballs!!!

Unless the pre trib rapture is all a fantasy (and it is), the antichrist is already here and working overtime, and every human on earth, who is alive at the end, will have to make their decision about taking the Mark of the Beast. In that case you had better be prepared because if you take the Mark, EVEN BY JUST FOLLOWING THE CROWD, there is no coming back. And that certainly will effect your salvation.

Pre trib rapture believers will be TAKEN out of this world and miss the tribulation that Jesus says we are all going through? Really? TAKEN WHERE?

Luke 17:
34I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: One will be taken and the other left.
35Two women will be grinding grain together: One will be taken and the other left.”…
36Two will be in the field; the one will be taken, and the other will be left. …
37“Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.”

Satan’s number one priority is to take as many humans with him to Hell as possible. Mixing truth with error is how he’s going to get Christians.

You are absolutely correct that this world is up to it’s eyeballs in deception.

We need to know who the Antichrist is? Also absolutely correct.

I say this all respectfully.

So I’m excited that you are going to tell us who this antichrist IS, even as he has not been reveled. Eh?


I already told you MHGinTN, and the clues are right from the bible. Someone who knows the bible as well as you do should be able to figure it out. The Reformers did, even when they were running for their lives trying not to get tortured and murdered. (unfortunately, many of them were, and did)

It will rise to be a great power after the fall of the pagan Roman Empire (after 476 AD)
It would uproot three of the ten kingdoms the Roman Empire collapsed into
It will be a geographically small nation (a little horn)
It will rule over many people, nations and tongues (it will be universal)
It will be headquartered in the city of seven hills, Rome
It will be a religio-political entity - a political city-state ruled by a priest-king
Its priest-king will make great and blasphemous claims
It will claim authority over all kings
It will claim its power to change the holy times and laws of God as its mark of authority
It will be an apostate Church that makes the nations drink her cup of apostate doctrine
It will be a “mother” Church, with apostate daughters coming from her
It will be a persecuting power, killing the faithful saints of Jesus Christ as heretics
It will hold power and authority for 1260 years following the fall of pagan Rome
It will suffer a deadly wound that will end 1260 years of dominance and persecution
It will be revived after the deadly wound, and all the world would wonder at its revival

You’re mind is made up, so is mine.

No need to discuss this any further with you.

See you in the Rapture.

And sooner than the unbelievers could even guess. Wonder why the cultists from several cults are infesting FR of late? The father of lies is desperate to sow distraction. He pricks the cult minds and they do what they are programmed to do dontchaknow.

RWC and his handlers are telling (us) that we are fools for not believing in their foolish pre trib rapture theory. Once they can’t explain serious questions, they resort to name calling, anger, and hate, and bully tactics (MHGinTN is really good at that).

Note that the pre-tribulation rapture advocates generally all say:

1. None of the seals have been opened.
2. None of the trumpets have sounded.
3. The Antichrist has not yet been revealed.
4. The form of the mark of the beast is not yet completely known.
5. The Seal of God is not yet clear.
6. The False Prophet is still unidentified.
7. The church will leave in the rapture prior to the antichrist, plagues and mark of the beast.
8. If you miss the rapture, you will get a second chance during the millennium, when God will rule on this earth for the 1000 years.
9. God is dealing differently with the Jews today, when compared to the Gentiles.

NO TAKEN, NO CHOP, NO PRE TRIB RAPTURE.

We all believe He’s coming. The question is HOW? You throw out a bunch of fantasy scenarios not support by the bible (no taken, no chop) and expect us to otherwise believe that the second coming of Christ described in the bible is really A “SECRET” RAPTURE before Christ returns. You say Christians won’t be going through the tribulation, yet Christ promises to protect us through Tribulation. So who’s theory comes straight from the bowels of Satan? (Yours).

RWC says: Nah, you don’t need to know about the Antichrist or MOTB because you won’t be here. And don’t worry about commandment keeping because once saved, always saved. (RWC turns to his handlers..”isn’t that right?”...they nod in affirmation and give him a cookie)

I already told you how and you ignore it.
That’s your problem.

If you think Noah’s Flood, Lot & his family, Philip, Paul, Jesus, John, Enoch, Elijah and all that happened to them are all “fantasies” - then you’ve got more problems than I get throw darts at.

I’ll say it again.

He’s coming! And very very soon....
I’ve got at least one crown waiting for me at the BEMA Seat. Maybe more.

If you were wise so would you.

The “body of Christ” is grafted into the vine and we are now heirs to the promise of Abraham’s seed. There is neither Jew nor Greek. We are all one in Christ. The new covenant was made with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. We as Christians are grafted in to that promise.

Lie #9 told by MHGinTN and RWC:

9. God is dealing differently with the Jews today, when compared to the Gentiles.
