Do these New Testament prophecies refer to what may seem to be an ‘alien invasion’ but is just a global ‘lie’ or ‘delusion’? Decide for yourself.
More and more in recent years the idea of aliens from another world visiting earth has become the plot for major Hollywood movies like Terminator, ET, Independence Day, War of the Worlds, and others.
Recently the television show “V” on ABC has brought this idea to prime-time television, as well as “The Event” currently airing on NBC.

In the real world, we also have common sightings of UFOs and then actual eye witness reports of flying saucers hovering over places like O’Hare International Airport in Chicago in 2006, and other reports of flying saucers in Iran (including a recent report that Iran had even developed it’s own un-manned flying saucer), as well as reports of UFOs appearing near nuclear missile silos in America.

Not only did these UFOs appear near nuclear missile silos, but — as claimed by former U.S. Air Force officers — they even “tampered” with the electronic controls of the missiles, shutting them down for a brief period of time.

Aliens in the Bible?
Why do I mention this?
Because one of these prophecies given by the Apostle Paul in the New Testament gives a warning of a vast world-wide deception that will take place in the end times, causing many to believe the lie, rather than believe the Word of God (the Bible).

If this prophecy about a powerful delusion that God will send to all who believe the lie includes a perceived “alien invasion” or “alien appearance” well, this would give a great explanation to another much anticipated Biblical event that is still to come … the Rapture.

If you’re new to the Bible, the Rapture is the term coined by many Christians to describe an event prophesied to occur in the end times at a point the Bible never reveals a date on. In the Bible, the actual words used refer to believers being “caught up” into the clouds to “meet the Lord in the air”.

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 – According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. (16) For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. (17) After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

The rapture is the gathering of faithful believers in Christ (believers “true” in the faith, pre-chosen and adopted sons and daughters of God), who are alive at the coming of Jesus Christ, when he unleashes the power of God to somehow “transport” his people to the Kingdom of Heaven as the Tribulation either begins or is already taking place on earth.

Following the rapture, a seven-year tribulation period will begin (Revelation 6—12). Many wonder how the remaining people on earth will be deceived into not believing in Jesus after many disappear from earth in the rapture (1 Corinthians 15:51-58). Could an alien deception serve as an explanation?

Matthew 24:24 does suggest there will be a powerful deception that keeps most people from believing in Jesus despite the impact of millions of people disappearing during the rapture. However, the Bible does not define what this deception will be. With the rise of aliens as a popular cultural concept, it is not unthinkable that one of perhaps many views will be that aliens were responsible for the disappearance of many humans. In fact, recent films such as Jupiter Ascending describe a similar situation.

In addition, many conspiracy theories regarding aliens have been in existence for generations. It is only natural to suggest that at least one of the reasons that will be proposed for the disappearance of many people would be blamed on aliens. Much of this deception will come from Satan and the Antichrist as Paul notes, “The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). It is also possible that demons could pose as beings from another planet and spread deception. Some theorize that something similar occurred in Genesis 6:4.

While how this future deception unfolds is unknown, Christians should at least be aware of this issue. Alien ideas abound even in churches. Though often used humorously and without much serious thought, the prevalent acceptance of the possibility of alien life forms could have great impact in the future explanation of many believers disappearing at the rapture.

For example, could the rapture be assumed to be an alien abduction? Such encounters have been suggested for years, with many believing in them. Another scenario is that secular scientists have increasingly used the idea of the multiverse or life forms on other planets or in other galaxies as the source of life on earth. With the number of intelligent researchers who accept this position, it would not take much further change for alien beliefs to be accepted by popular culture.

Again, all of this is merely speculation but does show that an alien deception could be used at least as one of the suggested reasons for the disappearance of people at the rapture. Of much greater importance is to believe in Jesus Christ for salvation and to share Him with others, helping as many as possible come to faith in Him and be with Him for eternity.
