Disclosure Day or Deception Day: The Truth About UFOs and UAPs - Part 03

What Should the Pastor Say?

It was not going to be a typical Sunday in the church. For starters, the sermon topic had been heavily promoted in the community, and numbers were up. The congregation was enveloped by an air of excitement. And why not? They were about to hear a sermon about the Bible, the last days, and UFOs.

Let us review: the subject of UFOs and UAPs has caused a lot of interest, speculation and anxiety. All of this will increase as time goes on. The US government has released information it has on the topic wåhile urging churches to prepare their congregations in case they encounter something extraterrestrial … Here’s what I would say from the pulpit:

There is only one God who created everything. His crowning achievement is humankind, whom He made in His image. We are special in Creation, as the Earth is special and exceptional among the planets. There is no hint in Holy Scripture of God, the One and Only, making other peoples outside this planet and other Earth-like planets.

God plans to establish His heavenly kingdom on Earth - the perfect paradise. The Almighty also wants to bless every person who cooperates in His kingdom-building program. Receive by repentance and faith the gospel of Jesus Christ - the Messiah - and you join the Kingdom while labouring for its expansion.

Part of the LORD’s creation-the angelic realm-rebelled against God. Under the evil leadership of Lucifer, the fallen angels became demons and Lucifer became Satan, the ultimate adversary. He is a dedicated foe of God’s kingdom. His insurrection will fail, and he will go to a place of everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10).

The Bible teaches that the last days are the transition from the kingdoms of this flawed, finite, and fallen world to the kingdom of our Lord and Christ. He will reign forever and ever (Revelation 11:15).

Also known as the ‘Day of the Lord,’ these days will be hallmarked by increasing deception, delusion, wars and rumours of wars, false signs and lying wonders. Spiritual warfare and attack will become more intense; one pastor said that earthly conflicts are the proxy wars for the fight going on in the heavens. To keep standing for God during such wicked times, we are exhorted to put on the whole armour of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).

So if we have a ‘visitation’ from above, it is far more likely to be the fallen angel - the great dragon - that old serpent - the devil - Satan (Revelation 12:9) than an English-speaking extraterrestrial who took the wrong celestial off-ramp. And when Satan and company are deported from heaven and cast to earth, they will have more time to set up their ET magic show. He is a master of deception and disguise.

Our response?
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10).
Put on the whole armour of God (Ephesians 6:14-17).
Pray all kinds of prayers in the Spirit (Ephesians 6:18).
Watch and pray for the welfare of the saints (Ephesians 6:18).
Cultivate spiritual discernment (1 John 4:1). It will preserve you, but a lack of discernment can destroy (Proverbs 7).

The last days will have many challenges, but follow the Good Shepherd, put on the whole armour of God, and be discerning, and you will be on the path of the just (Proverbs 4:18). The pathway becomes brighter and brighter to the perfect day.Disclosure Day or Deception Day:
