The Biggest Lie of All

If you follow this website, you know I've written a couple of articles in the last several months pertaining to UFOs and aliens and the associated narrative, and some of the ways that narrative may come into play in the period leading up to and during the coming Tribulation. Due to that fact, the very first thing I want to say to you is this:

Don't touch that dial.

Yes, the UFO/alien thing will come into play in what I want to discuss. But this time I am taking a different tack. I want to go beyond the UFO/alien fairy tale and get to a closely related topic that is far more important, and about which far too few are saying far too little. And it is something that all believers need to get their heads screwed on straight about:

What should the biblically based stance toward the UFO/alien narrative be for every born-again believer, and how should believers be prepared to respond to and counter the growing deception that is overtaking the world as it rapidly careens toward the Big Lie that Satan is preparing to unleash on the world to prepare people for his kingdom and ultimately force them to be part of it?

Anyone who follows the news is aware that there has been a flurry of speculation recently about government disclosure in regard to unidentified anomalous (previously "aerial") phenomena (UAP), and it's got people buzzing with increasing intensity. And I certainly don't see that subsiding any time soon. On the contrary. It's hard not to pick up on the growing momentum toward so-called "disclosure" (however that may be defined), and it's causing people to give the idea of alien contact more serious thought than ever before. And as far as the revelation of alien contact to the public is concerned...

It is clearly no longer a matter of if—

it is a matter of when, how, and why.

I believe the when and how parts are still open to some degree of speculation at this point (although I will have a few comments to share about the when part later). But after doing a bit of snooping around behind enemy lines, so to speak, I have become fully convinced of the why part, which is the key that unlocks the true nature and the ultimate goal of Satan's end-time deception that he is planning to foist upon mankind. And I gotta give Old Scratch credit:

It's pure genius.

What I want to do in this article is discuss the nature of what I will refer to as the Big Lie, which is not exactly a Big Surprise. I'm quite sure that it's an idea you have heard people toss around before. It's just that I have become convinced beyond unconvincing that this is really IT...this is the big kahuna. This is absolutely where Satan has been planning to take the UFO/alien narrative all along, ever since someone found a pile of scraps on a sheep ranch near Roswell, New Mexico in the summer of 1947.

But beyond that, I want to talk about how we as born-again believers need to be prepared to take a firm stand on what we know to be true and why we know it's true. We need to stand on the rock of God's Word and put on our game faces. God is speaking loud and clear to many believers, and He is communicating to them one basic truth:

Willy-nilly, "go along to get along"

ain't gonna cut it anymore, folks.

It's time to get down to brass tacks.

I also want to review some of the things in God's Word we need to keep in mind in order to effectively confront and refute that Big Lie and expose it as the deception that it is in order to help strengthen the body of Christ and lead people to a saving knowledge of the gospel when the chips are down and the going gets tough. And it may be tough now, but I'm sure it will get tougher before we are taken in the Rapture. And it goes without saying, but...

It's gonna get a whole lot tougher after that.

The Big Whopper

The first thing I want to do is discuss the Big Lie, and like I said: This is not a new idea—you've all heard this one before. This fish has been flopping around out there in UFO/alien circles for many years, but I am convinced this is going to be the main attraction that will be featured in Satan's UFO/alien deception. And the Big Lie that Satan is preparing to push on mankind is this:

We haven't just been visited by an advanced

alien race before on a number of occasions—

the human species was seeded here on planet

Earth by such an advanced alien race eons ago.

We are literally their seed. We were planted here, perhaps as a biological experiment or for some other perfectly logical reasons. Don't worry...we human beings will be fed the imaginative details when the party gets started.

Actually, in a sense this is more than just Satan's Big Lie—you might say it's the Biggest Lie of All (although Satan's lie to Eve that "ye shall be as gods" would sure give it a run for the money). And our alien ancestors have been keeping an eye on their progeny for a long time and they are aware that we are on the brink of doing terrible damage to ourselves in a senseless nuclear melee.

And they have come to put a stop to it.

The basic story will be that they have been keeping an eye on events on Earth, and have been monitoring all the blustery rhetoric coming from people like Donald Trump, the leaders of the Iranian regime, Vladimir Putin, Recep Erdogan, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Benjamin Netanyahu, and others. They have watched us reach the point where we are on the brink of nuking each other, and they have come to save us from ourselves. They have come to take whatever measures are necessary to bring peace to our world. In other words:

They have come to save their Space Children.

The world will be flabbergasted. Awestruck. Mesmerized. And willing to cooperate with them...at least initially.

A scientific aside: I do know one thing, however. When Satan introduces the Big Lie, some of the happiest people in the world are going to be scientists—especially in the biological arena. Why? Simple:

It will dispense with the need to

continue coming up with creative

ways to prop up an utterly failed

and defunct theory of evolution.

Don't look now, but in reality the theory of evolution has pretty much been dead in the water for decades. Of course, you'd never know it from talking with most scientists—they just keep coming up with exotic new theories and exotic new spins on old theories in ultimately futile efforts to make the implausible aspects of evolution seem slightly less implausible. Why? Because that's literally the best they can do, and they persist in doing it for one simple reason. They only see two choices:

It's either evolution or a Creator God...

and it simply cannot be that second thing.

Period...end of story. In the minds of most scientists, it's either propping up a theory that is known to have insurmountable flaws or kowtowing to an imaginary "creator" who is little more than the stuff of Jewish myths and fodder for naive fools who know nothing of science. Let's face it: The idea that mankind was seeded here by an advanced race of extraterrestrials in the distant past (and now they're b-a-c-k) is just plain sexy. It's the coolest, most exciting idea ever, and there will be a stampede of scientists rushing to embrace it and a flurry of research papers that will confirm this revolutionary new idea as being scientifically valid. And just like that:

The theory of evolution will be

consigned to the trash heap of

history—right along with alchemy.

(Which is precisely where it has belonged ever since the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species in 1859.)

If you're interested, take a few minutes to read about some of the major problems with the theory of evolution. It doesn't take a science degree—it's not that difficult. Of course, I'm sure that scientists have concocted slippery ways to schmooze around each one of them in order to discourage anyone from questioning their prized theory, but still...it's an enlightening read.

And "naive fools" is an apt description of how born-again, Bible-believing Christians will be seen in light of the Big Lie, because that lie will present the world with a different set of choices:

It's either aliens or a Creator God...

and it simply cannot be that second thing.

That's why I say this is Satan's big kahuna...this is one of the biggest planks in Satan's end-time platform. In Satan's mind, this is his ticket to the top—there's really no getting around it:

If we really were seeded here by aliens,

then God and His Word really are myths.

And that is one major reason Satan is planning to smack the world upside the head with his Big Lie. Satan is working with the following attitude:

"Heh heh heh...if I can make people fall for it, I win and God loses!"

But there is no conceivable way to make the idea of mankind being seeded on Earth by aliens jive with what God's Word clearly says. There is a chasm between the two that makes the Grand Canyon look like a drainage ditch.

No middle ground

So let's take a look at a few of the reasons why the prophetically confirmed, inerrant Word of a Creator God crumples up the notion of aliens seeding mankind on Earth and tosses it in the nearest trash can—there is simply no way these can be reconciled.

In fact, some of the following points even preclude the very existence of intelligent alien beings, let alone the idea that they ever came to Earth to seed our species on this planet.

1. "Let us make man..."

As you may have already guessed, one of the clearest and most direct arguments comes straight from the story of Creation in the book of Genesis. The creation of man is referred to in Genesis chapters 1 and 2:

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

(Genesis 1:26–27 AKJV / emphasis added)

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

(Genesis 2:7 AKJV / emphasis added)

Now, there are those who seek to make much of the fact that God uses the plural in verse 26 and says "Let us make man in our image…" as if the "us" could in fact be a bunch of advanced aliens from another world.

Uh, no. When God uses the plural in this manner, He is speaking in reference to His trinitarian nature: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, or the Trinity—three distinct divine Persons rolled into one Triune God. And the more you stop and think about it, the more you realize that we are indeed created in such a trinitarian image:

We are a spirit—that's our eternal inner essence (this corresponds to God the Father). During our earthly lives we live in a physical body (this corresponds to God the Son). Our spirit expresses itself through our body, especially our brain, producing our emotions, intellect, and will (this corresponds to God the Holy Spirit). Each of these three individual aspects of us are identifiable as us, and together they are the entire us.

Perhaps not a perfect analogy, but in my mind it works pretty well.

The point is that the Bible states flat out and in no uncertain terms:

GOD. CREATED. MAN.

OK? So the idea that a race of aliens created man flatly contradicts Scripture. The God of the Bible is not a gaggle of ETs. It's that simple.

So right off the bat...

Yes, it's either aliens or a Creator God.

But if the Word of that Creator God is true,

then it simply cannot be that first thing.

And that raises one of the most pivotal questions in the history of mankind:

How can we be sure that the Bible is true?

Relax...God took care of that Himself. I've said it before and I'm gonna keep right on saying it:

Stone-cold: Some people believe the Qur'an. Some people believe the Buddhist sutras. Some people believe the Book of Mormon. And whaddya know...some people believe the Bible. Well, isn't that special. But here's the thing: No one has to settle for merely believing the Bible is true. If we are willing to read and study it carefully and compare it with known historical events, we can know the Bible is true with 100 percent stone-cold certainty. Why? Because it contains reams of prophecies that have been fulfilled with a degree of accuracy that silences all but the most rabidly biased and willfully ignorant skeptics. The point is that only God knows all events for all time, and that is precisely what His Word reveals to us in spades.

Gosh, you mean you can't find anything like that in any of those other so-called "holy books"? Huh...go figure.

2. God's plan of redemption

Another key way in which the idea of aliens creating man flatly contradicts Scripture is in the full scope of God's plan of redemption.

God created man, and gave him free will (knowing he would misuse that free will). Man sinned and became spiritually separated from God (as God knew he would). But God had a plan from before the foundation of the world to provide a way for man to be reconciled to Himself.

God sent His Son into the world to live a life as a man, remain sinless, and be crucified to pay the penalty for man's sin. That is, He took our place on the cross. Thus God gave man the chance to be forgiven and spiritually reconciled to Him through belief in faith in His Son's work of atonement.

Spare me: Yes, through belief in faith, which is not a "work" you do to in order to earn or merit salvation in some way—it's our response to Christ's work. He did it all. And to all my dear Calvinist brothers out there:

(a) Trust me—I've heard it all before,

(b) I've studied the Bible as well as you have,

(c) I simply disagree with a few of your interpretations of Scripture, and

(d) I ain't in the mood to hear it again. Due to some ugly past experiences,

(e) I tend to avoid discussing Calvinism with Calvinists. So, no offense, but

(f) please feel free to sit on your hands. 'Nuff said.

Note that God's plan of redemption was aimed at one species: our species. Homo sapiens. This creates some very peculiar problems if alien beings even exist, let alone if they came to Earth to seed mankind.

If such species of advanced aliens exist, how in the world do they fit into God's plan of redemption? Note with care that God didn't send His Son into the world as a skinny gray extraterrestrial—He sent Him as a member of the species Homo sapiens...as a human being. As one of us. If aliens exist in the universe that God created, then all of a sudden God's plan of redemption breaks down into a bizarre, convoluted piece of fiction.

If intelligent species of aliens exist, then suddenly we have Jesus having to be born as a member of each one of those species of aliens on a number of planets in different parts of the universe, and carrying out His work of atonement for each one of them, just as He did for us.

Oops...wait a second. No can do:

10 ...we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

(Hebrews 10:10b / emphasis added)

26 For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27 who doesn't need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

(Hebrews 7:26–27 / emphasis added)

11 But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, 12 nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

(Hebrews 9:11–12 / emphasis added)

10 For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

(Romans 6:10 / emphasis added)

18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

(1 Peter 3:18 / emphasis added)

30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished!" [The Greek word is tetelestai, which was often used in those days to mean a debt was "paid in full."] Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

(John 19:30 / emphasis & [comments] added)

Christ was born as a member

of one race, and died once for

the sins of that one race.

And it was finished.

So the very existence of intelligent alien beings in the universe that God created and controls throws a galactic-sized monkey wrench into His plan of redemption, which He carried out to save one and only one species: US.

3. Who created who?

On a related note, recall that God created the entire physical universe we live in. That includes everything in it. So if aliens even exist, then God created them, too. That means that if aliens seeded man, then instead of God creating man as the Bible clearly states, we have the following sequence:

1. God created aliens.

2. Aliens created man.

Really?! In other words, if we stick to the Word of God, the idea that aliens even exist, let alone came to Earth to seed the human race, just keeps getting more preposterous at every turn. And speaking of preposterous...

Star Wars—Episode XXVII: OK, how's this: Homo sapiens on Earth are the only ones in the universe with free will, and so are the only ones in the universe who sinned, and so are the only ones in the universe who need to be saved. And then our sinless alien saviors show up!

Wow! Now there's an idea for a script! Quick...somebody call Steven Spielberg! And that's the entire point:

The only good thing about aliens is that

they make for some entertaining movies.

And speaking of legendary film director Steven Spielberg...guess who just released a brand new movie about aliens contacting and visiting Earth? His new film Disclosure Day basically comes right out and tells us we have been contacted and visited by aliens, and a compelling subtitle used in some of the advertisements for the film says it all:

 WE DESERVE TO KNOW 

In other words, Spielberg genuinely believes we have been and are currently being visited by aliens, and people deserve to know the truth about it! We want disclosure and we want it now! Stop hiding the truth from us!

What is particularly telling, however, is what Spielberg himself has been saying about the movie. He has been saying that his film may (gasp) shake the very foundation of the Christian faith! (Oh my gosh...say it ain't so!) In a recent interview, Spielberg vainly attempted to wax profound in regard to the relationship between God and such alleged extraterrestrials:

What does this do to the fundamental beliefs that many of us have? [If we know the Bible, absolutely NOTHING!] Is God, our God, only on this planet, or is God a God for every system where there's civilization, intelligent life and even developing life? [Well, duuh...Genesis 1 says He created the entire universe and everything in it, so try using the brain our God gave you.]

(emphasis & [comments] added)

— Steven Spielberg, from an interview with the Christian Post [Source]

No offense Steven, but in spite of the lip service you give to a Creator God, this reveals your complete ignorance of what His Word clearly says. And, of course, you are desperate to promote your silly movie—surprise, surprise. And I say that because the average 12-year-old who has managed to finish Genesis chapter 1 can answer your question, which is nothing but a thinly veiled insult to believers, smugly gussied up to sound erudite.

Oh, and Steven, the only "Christians" who will have the very foundation of their faith shaken by this movie are those who know essentially nothing about the Bible (like you, not to put too fine a point on it) and barely even understand what it means to be a born-again believer (ditto).

In other words, CINOs (Christians In Name Only).

4. "Let there be lights..."

I wouldn't necessarily call this next item an absolute clincher. But if you actually believe the universe is home to all manner of advanced species of alien beings, some of which have visited Earth and possibly even seeded humans here, these passages should at least give you pause:

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [He created Earth in verses 1–2, and Day One begins in verse 3.] 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters.

(Genesis 1:1–2 AKJV / emphasis & [comments] added)

14 And [on Day Four] God said, Let there be lights [these are the stars and planets we see in the night sky] in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs [e.g. the Star of Bethlehem], and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.

(Genesis 1:14–15 AKJV / emphasis & [comments] added)

In other words, God's Word makes it clear that Earth plays a uniquely preeminent role in the three-dimensional space-time continuum God created for us humans to dwell in.

God created the stars and planets we see in our night sky on Day Four to serve as signs and markers for the humans He would create to inhabit Earth. No mention of any of those "lights" serving as outposts for other species of intelligent life He had also created who would beat Him to the punch and come to create yet another species of intelligent life here on Earth.

Seems like a pretty important detail to leave out, if you ask me.

Along similar lines, many perfectly intelligent people argue that there simply must be other forms of life out there, because the universe is just so incredibly vast! How could there possibly not be?! And here's the Bible's response:

1 The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.

(Psalm 19:1)

The incredibly vast universe God created wasn't so alien species would be almost certain to pop up here and there, according to an equation worked out by astonomer Frank Drake in 1961.

That incredibly vast universe

declares His glory and puts His

cosmic handiwork on display.

That's an equation worked out by a Creator God in eternity past.

'27 or bust

As I said, you can't miss the increasing intensity of the alien conversation these days. You can feel the tension rising, and people everywhere can scarcely help but think we're about to have some meaningful information about aliens visiting Earth disclosed to us by the government.

If not have a full-blown meet & greet with them.

There have long been those who have clamored for the government to disclose what they know about UAP, but in the minds of some the problem is that if the government were to reveal too much too soon, it could provoke mass pandemonium and be highly disruptive for societies all over the world. Thus there has been a general sense among certain government officials that they somehow need to slowly get the public accustomed to the idea that we are not alone in the universe, and that we very well could have some alien visitors reveal themselves to us in some way in the near future.

I've discussed this before, but in 2023, retired CIA agent John Ramirez gave an interview in which he intimated that the CIA had information about a future revelation of an alien presence. He said he had learned from inside sources that when videos of UAP taken by Navy pilots in 2015 were released (or possibly leaked) in 2017, a 10-year clock started ticking. He said the government had somehow been made aware that a "significant event" was set to occur in 2027 in which aliens would somehow "reveal" themselves, although he was reluctant to say what form this revealing would take.

Ramirez also said:

We're kind of preparing the U.S. population at least, and by extension the world population, to that reality. That there is a presence here [stated like a fact] and that we need to explain this presence. Because if they show up and we continue to do what we did before in previous decades, there will be mass panic...In many ways I think the word got out within the government that they're showing up in 2027 and we better be prepared. I've heard 2027 in kind of an official capacity I can't reveal. ['Cause it's so darn secret.] I would say people in the government are aware of something happening and that there is limited time, a few more years, to prepare the people.

(emphasis & [comments] added)

— John Ramirez, from a 2023 interview [Source]

So there are those in the U.S. government who take this idea seriously...that the public needs to be gradually prepared for the disclosure of the existence of aliens who have been contacting us, visiting us, and who are apparently ready to reveal themselves in some way for some reason.

Incidentally, according to Ramirez the aliens are fully capable of revealing themselves whenever and in whatever manner they choose.

Except for the 10 or 12 that have crashed in the desert, that is. Oops.

Now, under ordinary circumstances, I might not take that "10-year window" idea all that seriously. Back in 2023 when I read about it for the first time, I thought it was interesting and made a mental note of it; but I took it with a medium-sized grain of salt. But with the way things have been going lately and with that "magic year" of 2027 a mere five months away, you might say the 10-year window is back on my radar screen in a major way.

All I'm saying is that with the way things have been trending, my suspicions are growing stronger that this whole 10-year window idea may actually be something orchestrated by Satan to aid in his preparation for his end-time program, which is going to feature the UFO/alien narrative in a big way.

During the first year and a half of his current term in office, President Trump has repeatedly made statements about how he is planning and/or preparing to release large numbers of UAP-related documents and photos and related material to the American public. Haven't seen much yet, but supposedly the process of gathering such materials is in the works behind the scenes.

The point I'm getting at is simply this:

Trump's actions are making it increasingly easy to believe that there really will be some type of alien-related event in 2027—the disclosure of some type of alien presence or contact, just as Ramirez stated.

Not sure if I'd bet a month's salary on it, but things certainly seem to be trending in that direction. And that's the point I'm driving at:

We are getting there quickly enough that we as believers need to be paying attention to what is on the horizon and be prepared to meet it head on in the strength and power of the Holy Spirit and with the rock-solid truth of the inspired Word of a Creator God.

I'm not telling anyone anything mysterious or deeply profound. I don't have any inside track on Satan's plans. I just feel led to shout this out to people who have ears to hear:

We need to be prepared to counter

the lies Satan is pushing with:

IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED...

God's Word doesn't leave any wiggle room on the lies Satan is going to push harder and harder in preparation for his future kingdom that will be based on his weapon of choice: deception.

And that deception is going to incorporate the Big Lie—the lie that what God's Word clearly says is a myth and that it was really our Space Brothers who seeded us here on this planet.

Oh, and now they have returned to stop us from

nuking each other and to help us evolve spiritually

so that we can help save our Earth Mother Gaia.

OK, now let's circle back to the original question.

Back to the original question

As believers in the gospel of Jesus Christ, our biblically based stance toward the UFO/alien narrative should be that it is a lie from the father of lies, because that's precisely what it is. And our stance toward the notion that aliens seeded mankind here on Earth should be the same. These ideas flatly contradict the prophetically confirmed Word of a Creator God, and that's the rock we need to stand on. Again...there is no middle ground.

And I am quite sincere when I say this, and I say it in love: It's agonizing to witness what I'm about to describe. Go ahead...ask me why I can say that. Never mind—here's why:

There have been times when I have seen people I know are believers be confronted with questions and issues pertaining to aliens and UAP and the disclosure of such things, and I have seen them waffle, squirm, and play loosey-goosey with such questions. And I can only assume they didn't want to offend someone or start an argument. Or worst of all...

Come across as an uninformed,

Bible-thumping simpleton.

So please don't do that. The point is this: When someone known to be a believer waffles, squirms, and plays loosey-goosey with what are clearly the lies of the deceiver, it really does make them look like an uninformed, Bible-thumping simpleton in the eyes of a fallen world. In fact, it serves to make all believers look like uninformed, Bible-thumping simpletons. I suppose it's the old "birds of a feather flock together" mentality.

So don't waffle. Don't squirm. Don't play loosey-goosey. If a person—perhaps even a friend of yours—brings up such alien-related questions, be prepared to refer to the Word of God and show them why these ideas are lies.

Be ready to explain to them that Satan is real and that he is working to deceive people and lure them away from the assurance of God's truth, the reality of God's grace and mercy, and the urgency of God's message of salvation that is going out to a lost and dying world while there is still time. Stand on the rock of God's Word—that's one of the reasons He gave it to us.

And yeah, you might even lose a friend...

But you might also see them again soon.

In the kingdom—if not in the clouds.
