Are The Latest Headlines Signaling “The Lie”
As of today, I have seen almost a dozen stories online: Pastors were allegedly called to a ‘secret’ meeting with government officials concerning an apparent upcoming disclosure about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), and Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAPs). According to several well known televangelists and pastors who claimed they attended this meeting and were warned of several disclosures about to be told to the American people.
NOTE: I have made up my mind not to call out names in this article. There are several individuals involved in this that I personally am skeptical about. It is not appropriate to call out names of people unless I have spoken to them personally beforehand, and they refuse to hear me.
According to the stories, these so-called disclosure will contradict the story of creation as told by the Bible. As the story goes, these pastors were called in beforehand in order to make them aware of some type of reptilian inter-dimensional beings. These being claim they were responsible for the human race. I know these claims sound ridiculous, but think about this from an unsaved point of view.
For the world, this is exactly the type of explanation the world is waiting for. The world has been desperate for a savior, and for many aliens from outer space represent the ultimate saviors. A group of aliens who have the solutions to all our problems. They know how to heal our incurable diseases. They know how to resolve all of our international disputes, end drought and hunger issues, and basically create a utopia on earth.
Isn’t is such a coincidence that ever since man was kicked out of Eden, all his time and efforts have been spent at trying to recreate it. From the Tower of Babel, to modern Socialism, the efforts of man have focused on proving to God they can create utopia without Him.
A Warning From the Bible
When the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, “What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?” The very first thing he mentioned, the one thing he thought was more important than anything else, was,
Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. – Matthew 24:4-5 KJV
Jesus took several opportunities to warn us not to be deceived during the end times.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. – Matthew 24:11 KJV
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. – Matthew 24:24-26 KJV
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. – Mark 13:22-23 KJV
Notice the Scripture: See for yourself, the Bible uses the word ‘Seduce’. This indicates this is more than just a deception: This is seduction. This is something that the world wants to hear, this is something they long for. This is more than just a lie, this is the promise to fulfill something wanted.
“So That They Will Believe ‘The Lie””
This is perhaps the most direct reference to a “great deception.” The Apostle Paul explains that because people refuse to love the truth, they become vulnerable to a supernatural blinding.
The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. – 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 ESV
I don’t know if this is the ‘strong delusion’ or not. In the hands of a master of deception, what now sounds like a poorly written science fiction story could actually deceive the masses. Especially when God puts a supernatural property to it that causes people to believe it.
But whatever the future holds, remember this: No other book in history has predicted the future with 100% accuracy like the Bible. The Bible isn’t ‘close’, or ‘almost’, the Bible is provable to be a supernatural book. Nothing in the Bible is wrong. Nothing in the Bible has become ‘corrupted’ or incomplete. The Qur’an isn’t necessary in order to make the Bible complete. The Book of Mormon isn’t needed in order to complete the Bible. In fact, let’s make something clear right now.
Whose God IS God?
According to Islam, the Bible was once the true word of Allah. However, Allah’s word became corrupt, and it was necessary to raise up the Prophet Muhammed in order to correct the corrupted word.
According to Mormons, parts of the Bible were lost over time; it was necessary to send the Angel Moroni to visit Joseph Smith and give him the missing texts of the Bible in order to restore God’s word.
I believe the Bible is the inerrant, uncompromised word of God. I believe the God of the Bible was powerful enough to insure His Word did not get corrupted throughout the centuries. If these other gods were unable to keep their word from becoming corrupted, then perhaps the god of the Muslims and the god of the Mormons aren’t really gods after all.
The Deception of the Whole World
11 Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, – Revelation 13:11-14 ESV
There will come a day when the beast and his second, what some people call the ‘False Prophet‘ will perform signs and wonders. They will be able to call fire down from the sky; whether this is an actual miracle or some slight of hand trick, but they will destroy their enemies. And all the world will be convinced; they will be worship the beast, the image of the beast who performs signs and wonders among them.
My Final Admonition
I am strongly encouraging everyone who reads this to begin reading your Bible and reading it regularly. No matter what, no matter how much pressure is put upon you: Cling to the words of the Bible like your immortal soul depends on it. Because that is exactly what is at stake. The Bible says many will leave or ‘stray away’ from the faith:
1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, – 1 Timothy 4:1-2 ESV
One of the most influential people in my life was Chuck Missler. Although I never met him personally I spent years listening to his teachings, studying his Bible Studies. There was one thing I never thought would come to pass in the USA. Dr. Missler would warn his listeners that the would come a day when the only Word of God we possess is what we retain in our memories.
For years, I never thought this would come to pass. But given the latest reports, I can now see a day when Bibles are removed from the shelves of bookstores, libraries and hotels. The Bible would be placed on a list, right along beside Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Even now in other countries, restrictions on the Bible are already in place.
I am asking you as a Christian, let the Bible become your new best friend. Read it, study it; memorize what you can. Write down important Scriptures and gather as much teaching as you can. Jesus promised us that in the last days, we’ll be hated of all nations. We already are: But imagine how Christians will be received if we stand up and proclaim this latest disclosure is false. How angry would they be, thinking their salvation has finally come, only to have a group of people casting doubt on their elation?
Remember, Jesus himself said, “I am the way, the truth and the light. No man comes to the father except through me” (John 14:6).
No other man can save you. No alien life form, no one else. If anyone, be he flesh and blood or spirit claims to be able to save you, don’t believe it. Remember any spirit that cannot say, “Jesus is Lord” cannot be trusted to be from God.
