When I was a child my father made an amazing discovery while deer hunting in the mountains of Arizona.  Several large and perfectly spherical craters, perhaps twenty feet across and eight feet deep, were located in an unexplored section of the range where he was hunting.  The mysterious cavities were so precise that it looked as if an enormous white-hot ball had pushed into the rock, and the finish on the walls was such that rainwater filled the orbs.  The sides of the holes were slick and each “pool” contained deer that had fallen in and drowned while attempting to drink the water.  Dad took pictures of the obscure semispherical holes (he showed them to the family and I remember being especially impressed), and led a representative of the Army Corps of Engineers to the location.  The origin of the puzzling craters was never determined, and the Corps of Engineers filled the pools with rock to protect the wildlife.  A local newspaper ran an article on the baffling holes, reprinted photographs of my father kneeling beside the orbs, and that seemed to be the end of the story.  Then, on November 5, 1975, along the northeastern ridge of an Arizona mountain range, Travis Walton stepped out of his pick-up to look at a mysterious glowing object.  While a crew of loggers waited nearby, Travis approached the “UFO” and was jolted by a blast of inexplicable energy.  As his companions fled in terror, Travis was taken on-board the “alien” spacecraft and subjected to a variety of physical examinations.  His story, Fire in the Sky, is now a motion picture.  It reports what’s considered the best documented account of a UFO abduction ever recorded.  Is Travis Walton’s story true?  Was there a connection between the Walton-UFO and the mysterious mountain holes?  Did the experiences of my sister who saw small alien-like “creatures” around her bed at night for years following the discovery mean anything?  I don’t know.  But the strange phenomenon known as UFO activity is sure to play a part in the coming World Order and in the introduction of the New Age god-king.

     As mentioned in chapter one, I believe a portion of UFO activity is demonic. Increasingly, others agree with that opinion.  Hal Lindsey states, “I have become thoroughly convinced that UFOs are real....I believe these beings are not only extraterrestrial but supernatural in origin.  To be blunt, I think they are demons.” In Angels Dark and Light, Gary Kinnaman says, “I am fairly convinced that....UFO sightings are the manifestations of angels of darkness.  My main reason for thinking this is that UFO sightings have never, at least to my knowledge, led a person closer to God.  In fact, most UFO experiences have just the opposite effect.” And UFO celebrity and author of Communion (bestselling book about his alledged alien abduction), Whitley Streiber, describes UFOnauts in terms of demonology.  He writes, “There are worse things than death, I suspected.  And I was beginning to get the distinct impression that one of them had taken an interest in me.  So far the word demon had never been spoken among the scientists and doctors who were working with me.  And why should it have been?  We were beyond such things.  We were a group of atheists and agnostics, far too sophisticated to be concerned with such archaic ideas as demons and angels.” Associate professor of psychology Elizabeth L. Hillstrom points out that a growing number of academics support the conclusion that UFOnauts are synonymous with historical demons.  In her informative book, Testing the Spirits, she writes:

     ‘From a Christian perspective, Vallee’s explanation of UFOs is the most striking because of its parallels with demonic activity.  UFO investigators have noticed these similarities.  Vallee himself, drawing from extrabiblical literature on demonic activities, establishes a number of parallels between UFOnauts and demons....Pierre Guerin, a UFO researcher and a scientist associated with the French National Council for Scientific Research, is not so cautious: “The modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably identical.”  Veteran researcher John Keel, who wrote UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse and other books on the subject, comes to the same conclusion: “The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon.’

     It’s easy to believe that demons are involved with “flying saucers.”  Evil spirits can manipulate energy and matter, and the theological terms, “Transmogrification” and “Poltergeist” (“noisy ghost”), imply that spirits can make lights go off and on, doors bang, icons bleed, and saucers fly.  But if a portion of “flying saucer” activity is demonic, what nefarious purpose is served by the stealthy nature of UFO phenomena? The answer is diabolical.  UFO-ism seems to be aimed at preparing the earth for the coming of Antichrist, i.e., an extraterrestrial “visitation of the gods,” and, more importantly, at changing our religious beliefs.  This occurs in two ways:  First, from a technological standpoint, UFO sightings challenge the claim of human superiority and dispute our unique role in the universe.  We are made to feel shallow, undeveloped, unenlightened.  Second, from a religious point of view, extraterrestrials bring a message (as reported in hundreds of abduction cases) of easy universalism and New Age mysticism including dialogue of humans “on the verge of extraordinary telepathic and technological growth.”  Benevolent E.T.s profess to watch over us and promise to appear at the appropriate time to assist in our next big evolutionary, spiritual, and technological step forward.  To prepare us for their coming, popular movies, bestselling books, cultural trends, and religious ideas, focus the earths masses on “help from above,” and New Agers smile and explain “It’s okay, they’ve been here before” and “Don’t worry, ancient men simply described flying saucers in terms of demons, angels, and gods, because they didn’t understand what they were seeing.”  In other words, New Agers believe that space vehicles manipulating laws of physics (suddenly appearing and disappearing, operating anti-gravitationally, etc) were assigned “god” or “angel” status by sincere but ignorant prophets, and that Ezekiel’s living creatures will return someday in wheels “in the middle of a wheel” providing explanations of our origin and solutions to our problems.

     Such New Age claims of extraterrestrials visiting the earth in ancient times and interacting with men is biblically and historically true.  Where Christians differ from New Agers is in the definition of who these creatures were and what they were doing.  In the Interlinear Hebrew Bible we read:

     ‘The benei Elohim saw the daughters of Adam, that they were fit extensions. And they took wives for themselves from all those that they chose...The Nephelim were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when the benei Elohim came in to the daughters of Adam, and they bore to them—they were Powerful Ones which existed from ancient times, the men of name.’  (Gen. 6:2,4)

     As noted in the first two chapters of this book, the benei Elohim were “extraterrestrial” angelic creatures also known as “watchers,” “sons of God,” and “rephiam.”  They visited the earth during antiquity and used the daughters of Adam as “fit extensions” or instruments through which they extended themselves into the physical world.  They sought to corrupt the bloodline of Adam, to deceive the human race, and to prevent the birth of the Messiah.  They represented themselves as “gods,” and their offspring, the Nephilim (“fallen ones”), attempted to exterminate the people of Yahweh.  In what may be a prophecy of end-time UFOs, Isaiah connected the benei Elohim to “fiery flying seraph.”  We read, “Do not rejoice O Philistia, all of you, for the rod of your striking is broken, because a viper (Antichrist) comes forth from the root of the snake (Satan) and his fruit is the fiery flying seraph” (Is. 14:29).  The seraph (seraphim) were powerful angels known for their brilliance.  If, as we suspect, some of the seraphim followed Lucifer in the fall, it could be that such “fiery flying seraph” are the souce of UFOs today.  As previously noted; the “air” above the earth was considered by ancient Hebrew scholars to be the dwelling place of fallen angels.  For more on this visit the Watchers Website at: http://www.mt.net/~watcher/

An interesting point of this is made by J. N. Schofield in Man, Myth & Magic:

     ‘The warm interest of angels in man’s welfare is vividly expressed in the saying of Jesus that ‘there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents’ (Luke, chapter 15), and that children have their guardian angels standing as favoured envoys near to God himself (Matthew, chapter 18)....It was through Jewish Christians that angeology, based on the Old Testament and other Jewish writings, entered the teaching of the Church.  Angels were set over the life of Nature, and over human communities.  God was Israel’s portion but Michael was her protector, taught her Hebrew and gave the law on Sinai.  Every individual had his guardian angel and babies exposed or aborted were cared for by guardian angels.  There continued to be angelic intercessors and messengers of revelation or warning, but further functions were more specialized.  There was an Angel of Repentance who brought to man consciousness of sin and the promise of forgiveness, and an Angel of Peace received the soul as it left the body and bore it to paradise.  The Angel of Death in Sheol was a good angel and guardian of souls....

    Angelic rank was associated with speculation about the universe which increased to...the three heavens known to St. Paul  All these were thought to be above the firmament [the kosmos] where fallen angels were imprisoned, and all were inhabited exclusively by angels, the lower heavens by those in charge of human affairs, the upper by Angels of the Presence.  According to some speculation these heavens [the Hajoth-Hakados] were successive stages through which souls must pass, encountering their guardian angels to whom account must be given.’

     If it’s true that fallen angels inhabit the earths atmosphere and that, historically, they conducted genetic experiments on the daughters of Adam and thereby produced the mutant nephilim, does the prophecy of Jesus in Luke 17:26 indicate such activity would reoccur before the Rapture?  Does recent UFO abduction activity point to genetic engineering of a new race of anti-God warriors (nephilim) as we approach the Great Tribulation?  Will “UFOs” provide the grand entry of the ultimate cross-mutation of angelic and human species—the god-king of the New World Order?  Time will tell.  Until then, “the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.  And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:  Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders” [emphasis added] (2 Thess. 2:7-9).”
