Jesus warned us about this with the statement, " and will show great signs and wonders to deceive , if even the elect is possible" (Matthew 24:24 ) .
Paul echoed the idea in II Thessalonians 2:9 , with the words , "... according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders ."
Unfortunately, contrary to what some believe , Christians are not immune to deception. The words of Jesus , " if possible " could be better translated , " whenever possible ." This is an honest substitute reading the original Greek , and more in accordance with reality. Christians have been deceived , and therefore seriously wounded, spiritually and otherwise , for their ignorance of the dangers connected with UFOs.
If you as a Christian do not believe that Satan could be responsible for the UFO phenomenon , then note the term " all power " in the quote from St. Paul. It tells us that the power of Satan to deceive is very serious . Happens to be the Greek word " dunamis " . It is the same word translated "possible" word in the statement , " with God all things are possible in Matthew 19:26 . Paul says that in regard to deception in the Time of the end, all things are possible with Satan. We are in the end time now .
The terms "signs and lying wonders " attributed to Satan , and especially " lying wonders " are almost certainly a reference to , among other things , UFOs .
At least UFOs constitute a solid effort by Satan and his "principalities and powers" ( Ephesians 6:12 ) to separate people from saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and , if possible , to the point entramparlas ensure their damnation. Satan also uses UFOs to seriously harm the lives of Christians.
The sheer scale of the UFO phenomenon also can be considered , in an indirect way , as a sign of the soon coming of our Lord. " The devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows he has a short time" (Revelation 12:12). The devil is very successful with deception and temptation, and God permits. UFOs are a major part of the effort of the devil to deceive the unwary and simple. The current level of interest in the phenomenon is much higher than before.
For example , there are many more books on the shelves of UFO in secular bookstores now than at any previous time . The old titles have been reprinted , and many new books have appeared on the UFO subject . There are new color magazines full of UFOs newsstands presenting a curious mix of scientific skepticism and credulity of the New Age. There have been a number of television specials on the subject in recent years . There are more than 1000 Web sites devoted to the topic. In fact , UFOs are one of the largest non-commercial Internet in specific topics.
