UFO’s, Angels and Satanic Delusions

Now, is it possible that in this battle between good and evil, that the devil may be using extraordinary paranormal phenomena to prepare for a last day deception that he'll break upon the world.

There was a time that we used to think that anybody that talked about UFOs, unidentified flying objects, must be some crazy, wild-eyed fanatic.

But have you noticed that there is an increasing interest in extraterrestrial events and affairs, UFO sightings, and unidentifying objects.

People worldwide have actually reported encounters with these UFOs over the last few years.

If you know anything about the movie scene, and I hope you don't know too much about it, you'll notice the movies that are on UFOs, unidentified flying objects, space travel, blockbuster hits generating millions and millions of dollars.

But government officials in the United States and many other nations have investigated these unidentified aerial phenomena, and they've begun declassifying documents and declassifying videos and producing reports for a curious public.

And so you have to ask yourself some questions.

Are extraterrestrials really visiting our planet?

Does the Bible say anything about these beings from other planets?

Will we ever have contact with beings from outer space?

Are these sightings real or just some grand hoax?

Now recently, and this is what kind of prompted me to prepare this message this morning, recently the Pentagon has unclassified a number of documents on identified flying objects.

The news media picked up the story, and here's what we know.

If you've followed the news at all, you've noticed that Congress has passed a $2.3 trillion spending bill on coronavirus relief package.

But did you know that in that package tucked away, there was a stipulation requiring the Department of Defense and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to deliver an unclassified report on unidentified flying objects to Congress within 6 months.

They were to compile what the government knows about these unidentified flying objects that are rocketing over American airspace.

Now, the long-awaited report was just released.

Now, it only has 9 pages, but it tells us more about this subject than anything that the American public has ever known before.

As I was reading it, I was quite shocked and amazed at what the government actually knows and the report that was given to Congress.

The first thing that was interesting, and here's what we know.

Over the last few years, the government has reported 144 contacts with these UFOs or identified flying objects from military pilots.

In addition to that, most of these came from 2004 to 2021, but the large amount were in the last couple of years.

Now as they looked at these 144 reports from military pilots, they could only identify 1 that was kind of a deflated balloon that was flying in the sky.

Somebody thought that was an unidentified flying object.

Now, in a total of 18 of these reports, according to the report released by the Pentagon just a few weeks ago, that they reported that these UFOs had unusual flight patterns, that they could resist great wind blowing against them, that they could speed very quickly away with no record or no indication of jet propulsion, that they could go against the wind.

They began to also notice that on a number of them, a small number, that the military had picked up radio frequency energy coming from these sightings.

In 11 instances, United States airline pilots said that they had near misses with UFOs.

Now, 1 of the basic questions we need to raise is, has this planet ever been visited by aliens or beings of any form from outer space?

Is planet Earth the only populated planet in our universe?

If there are beings on other planets, what are they really like?

And what does this all have to do with you and me today in this battle between good and evil in the great controversy between Christ and Satan?

Now, the Bible does not give us all the answers about unidentified flying objects, but it does reveal that our planet is in the midst of a cosmic conflict between good and evil, and that we are not the only created beings in the universe.

Good and evil angels battle for our minds.

They battle for the supremacy of the world.

So let's look for a few moments at the evidence in the Bible for life on other planets.

Let's look at that evidence in scripture.

Now is it possible that in this battle between good and evil, that the devil may be using extraordinary paranormal phenomena to prepare for a last day deception that he'll break upon the world.

So first, is there evidence for life on other planets?

And if there is, what kind of life is that?

You're going to need a book of Job, Job chapter 1.

We're looking there at Job, the first chapter, to try to get a picture of this great controversy between good and evil.

Job chapter 1, you're looking there at verse 6.

Now there was a day, now there was a day in the far distant past, in the millenniums in the past, in thousands of years in the future, in the past that relates to our present future, Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord and Satan also came from among them and the Lord said to Satan, where do you come from?

So Satan answered the Lord and said, I'm from going to and fro on the earth and from walking back and forth on it.

So here you have a text in the Bible that says there's this meeting in heaven.

And in this council meeting in heaven, the sons of God, and we need to find out who they are, They're obviously not fallen beings, because if they were fallen beings, they wouldn't be called the sons of God, right?

So it says, the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came from among them.

And the Lord says to Satan, where'd you come from?

And he said, well, I've come from the earth.

So evidently Satan is the prince of the power of the air.

You remember Jesus said, the prince of this world comes and he has nothing in me.

So evidently Satan represents this planet, but these sons of God must represent other unfallen planets in the universe that God has created.

And it says, Job 2 verse 1, again there was a day, so it's a different day, that the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also from among them to present himself before the Lord.

And the Lord said to Satan, from where do you come from?

So Satan answered and said, from going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon it.

So, you have these 2 council meetings in heaven, sons of God come, meet before the Lord, Satan comes as a representative of earth.

The Septuagint is the Greek translation of the Old Testament by 70 Jewish scholars.

When the Septuagint translates this expression, the sons of God, looking at the Hebrew of that, it says the angels of God.

So evidently, God created angelic beings, And these angelic beings inhabit different places or planets in the universe someplace, far beyond our solar system.

Now, does the Bible teach that God created worlds in not only this world?

If you have your Bible, take it and take a look at Hebrews 1.

So we're setting forth the fact that God has created varying worlds in the universe and that there is biblical evidence for those worlds.

And that there's a host of good angels, angelic beings.

We're going to study about these angelic beings this morning.

And we're going to look at the good and evil angels and see this conflict between good and evil.

In Hebrews 1, verse 1 and 2, it says, God who at various times and in different ways spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets.

Isaiah, Jeremiah, has in these last days spoken to us by his son, whom he has appointed heir of all things.

So according to the Bible, there was a time that the sons of God came to appear before him.

Satan comes from planet Earth to appear before God.

In Hebrews chapter 1 it says God created the worlds.

So in these angelic worlds, in these galaxies far distant from ours, they're not fallen by sin.

The earth is the only planet, the Bible says, has fallen by sin.

It was here to this earth that Christ came.

But the Bible speaks about an innumerable company of angels, Hebrews 12.22.

The Bible speaks about 10, 000 times 10, 000 angels In Daniel 7, verse 9 and 10.

In Genesis 28, the Bible speaks, and remember about Jacob fleeing from his brother Esau, and he sees this ladder come down from heaven as he's praying, and angels come up and down on that ladder.

We have been visited by beings from outer space.

They are not beings in some flying saucer, but they are rather angelic beings.

If you could sweep the curtain aside and we could see with eyes divinely anointed, We would see good angels coming and visiting planet Earth.
