Are U.F.O’s Real?

 “Now as I looked at the living 12 creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature with its four faces. The appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.”

I want to discuss a subject that comes up whenever we study the vision of Ezekiel 1,especially with all the uptick these days of extraterrestrial sightings. Whenever you read Ezekiel’s vision in chapter 1. Ultimately there are people who will turn to this verse to prove scripturally the existence of UFOs. There is a huge festival in Roswell Nm every year that celebrates this phenomenon.  There are people who try to attribute some of the Bible’s stories to extraterrestrial appearances and alien involvement… Some people even suggest that the prophet Elijah was taken up in a UFO, not a fiery chariot… that the wise men saw a UFO, not an actual star… that Jesus ascended to heaven in a UFO… And the light that blinded Paul on the road to Damascus was that of a UFO… And of course, there are folks who want to compare what Ezekiel saw to be a UFO. The fireball was the blast of the spaceship’s engines… the spinning wheels was a flying saucer… “the hand of the Lord” was the pressure of a 14 shoulder strap… The eyes in the rims of the wheels were portals in a revolving saucer.

 When Christopher Columbus sailed through the Bermuda Triangle, he wrote in his diary of a sighting – a phenomenon that had “the appearance of a torch.” It was like “a small wax candle that rose and lifted up.” Some people insist the Spanish explorer witnessed a UFO sighting that fit the description of Ezekiel’s fireball.

 A 2012 poll by Kelton Research revealed that 36% of Americans believe that UFOs are real. One in ten say they have seen something that they thought was a UFO. Over the years, many supposed UFO sightings have been explained away as natural phenomena. There’re lots of sightings that can be easily dismissed. But there are some very credible reports.

Military and NASA sources have bolstered the belief in UFOs… Fighter Jet pilots from countries all over the world have reported following UFOs until they disappeared in a burst of supernatural speed of impossible turns… UFOs were supposedly sighted on two of the Apollo missions, two of the Gemini missions, and on three Skylab missions… There are two photos taken of an unidentified flying object on April 30, 2015 from the International Space Station. … There’re many more… Even President Jimmy Carter reported seeing a UFO from his seat on Air Force One. So, are UFOs real? I believe there’ve been legitimate sightings of extraterrestrial phenomena, but I also believe the objects haven’t been properly identified! Here Ezekiel sees a saucer-shaped flying vehicle, but it’s not an unidentified object, we know exactly what it is… It’s God’s throne-chariot propelled by angels. Ezekiel knows exactly what he’s seeing… cherubim! The reason people like to suggest that Ezekiel saw a UFO is because his description resembles the sightings of what people have seen today. But could the reverse be true?

 I believe what some people are reporting as UFOs, and assume are alien spacecraft, is actually what Ezekiel saw… cherubim or angels! I believe the UFO sightings that we find today are actually physical manifestations of fallen angels. Remember, Satan is a fallen cherub. I would imagine many of his demons are also cherubs. Could it be that Satan and his allies are involved in a global deception? What better way to explain away the rapture of the Church – the sudden disappearance of millions of Christians. I can hear it now, “Aliens have invaded.”

 One author writes, “The old Angel of light is back in the sky with new aerial phenomena geared to capture (and deceive) a culture jaded, yet credulously hunting for supernatural wonders in the heavens.”

 Allen Hynek was an astronomer at Northwestern and an Air Force investigator on Project Blue Book. 16 In the 1970s he believed UFOs were manned by aliens from other planets. But by 1982 Mr. Hynek had changed his mind. A biographer writes, “Hynek submitted that perhaps UFOs were part of a parallel reality, slipping in and out of sequence with our own. This was a hypothesis that obviously pained him as an empirical scientist. Yet after 30 years of interviewing witnesses and investigating sighting reports, radar contacts, and physical traces of saucer landings no other hypothesis seemed to make sense to him.” Hynek thought UFOs were more inter-dimensional, than inter-planetary. Rather than from outer space, they were indigenous to Earth. He equated them with “poltergeist” since they behaved like ghosts or demons. In the book “Close Encounters: A Better Explanation” authors Clifford Wilson and John Weldon pinpoint the aerodynamic problems that exist with UFOs.

 In their movements UFOs violate basic laws of physics… A physical craft traveling at their speed would cause a supersonic boom, yet most often UFOs fly silent. UFOs have been clocked at 18,000 mph. At that speed a quick turn would splatter whatever passengers are inside, against the walls of the spacecraft. Yet this fits Ezekiel’s cherubim. They had other-worldly mobility. UFOs also change shape, size, and color in mid-flight. They disappear instantly – nullifying mass and gravity. They form chains, merge into one, and are deft at avoiding being filmed. All these traits are similar to powers associated with demons in occult literature. It’s also interesting to note the similarities between UFO sightings and occult rituals – the smell of sulphur (a rotten stench), astral projection, levitation, weird noises, mysterious fires, sexual contact (even rapes). Some contacts have been given the number 666. Other aliens have been described as wearing a uniform with a serpent on the chest.

Alien abductees have told horrible stories of treatment by ETs that sound eerily similar to tales of demon possession. And invariably aliens deliver an unbiblical message. A man named Albert Bender once founded a UFO group, but later mysteriously dropped out. A reporter later explained his reason why, “He became victim of strange paranormal experiences that left him drained and frightened. His house became haunted, he heard rapping on the walls and strange footsteps at night. Later three men in black visited him and informed him there was no life after death, no God in heaven, Jesus was not God, and the resurrection was false.” Albert Bender’s story was the inspiration for the comic book series and movie entitled “Men In Black.”

 A UFO message is typically unbiblical, anti-Christian, and filled with reincarnation and New Age propaganda. Again, I believe the whole ET phenomena is a satanic setup to deceive people and ultimately provide a way to explain away the rapture of the church. If the world thought they were under attack by an alien invasion they would quickly come together under a one-world government. Perhaps this is what will give rise to the Antichrist, the global ruler spoken of throughout the Scriptures. Today, there’re cults that believe alien saviors are the planet’s only hope. But there is only one savior and one hope for you and me and that is Jesus Christ.

1 Timothy 1:1 ” Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior And the Lord Jesus Christ our hope” Amen
