Welcome to Dr. J in the Bible. Quick shout out to Cincinnati, Ohio. Hope everyone's doing well today on this great Mother's Day that we're in. And hope all is well and you're blessing your mothers, your wives, for they are indeed is considered a blessing of God if you have one for sure. So today we're going to look at a little bit of chapter six of Revelation. But we're really not going to get in entirely to chapter six, because we're going to look at where where is the church? You know, we know chapters two through four, two through three, actually, we see that the church, the church age, is uh in those chapters, and then we see Jesus that come up here, and John is up there in heaven, and so is the church through the eldership, which represents the church. And so, how in a world, literally, watch the pun, is the world going to explain away what happened to millions and millions of people? You know, in 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, 16 through 17, the scripture is, the scriptures here is quite clear. It says, For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of a command, with the voice of an archangel, and the sound of the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive who are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And this phrase caught up comes from the Latin word rapturo. So rapture is in the Bible. It comes from the Latin vulgate. Uh in the Greek it's harpazo, the snatch away. So you hear people say, the rapture is not in the Bible, and I say, okay, yes, it is. Wrong. Okay. Um also 1 Corinthians 15, 51 through 52, Paul describes a sudden transformation. He says, Behold, I tell you a mystery, we shall not all sleep, which is a metaphor of uh or euphemism of death, but we shall all be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye. Now we all blink. We blink many times uh a minute, uh, and uh but a twinkling is even less time than a blink. It's a twinkle. So this word here in the Greek really gives us an understanding that this rapture, which I believe is very clear in these two verses, that it's sudden, it's transf it's transformational, and it's a resurrection glorification. So it is quite clear when we look at the totality of scripture, both Old and New Testament, and these scriptures, and how Jesus says, you know, I go to prepare a place for you, and where I am, you will be also. Um, you know, nowhere in scripture does it say that we should be preparing for the Antichrist. It says that we should prepare for Jesus Christ. And we're not being scared, but being prepared through the study of prophecy. And so as we look at this, I want you to picture a time where millions of people vanish overnight. Not from war, not from disease, not from some natural disaster, just gone. Planes without pilots, cars abandoned on highways, families waking up to empty beds, phones ringing with no one left to answer. And the question the world would immediately ask is, what happened? Where are these people? You know, many people believe that if the rapture were to occur, governments, media would quickly search for a naturalistic, humanistic explanation to call the public fear and preserve social order. I believe this is true. I believe this is absolutely what's going to happen. One theory that has grown in popularity is the mass disturbances could be attributed to extraterrestrials, interdimensional beings, some form of advanced non-human intelligence. And over the last several years, we've watched a dramatic shift in public conversation, government agencies, military officials, mainstream media, and uh what used to be called UFOs, uh congressional hearings, we also have seen, declassified footage, official reports have normalized the idea that there may be intelligence or technology beyond current human understanding. And for many, this is just curiosity or national security discussion. But some Christians, including myself, look at these developments and wonder could this become the framework used to explain away a supernatural event such as the rapture of the church? Imagine the pressure of world leaders that these world leaders would face if millions of people vanished. Economies collapse, global panic, questions that no one can answer. And in moments like that, societies tend to cling to explanations that preserve a more materialistic worldview and avoid acknowledging divine judgment or biblical prophecy. Just look at the Old Testament, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel. And, you know, our world is set up right now that we are living in the times the prophets and the kings of the time and the people of God, the patriarchs, dreamed about. We are living in the time, because we're not only in the end times, we're in the last minutes of the end times. And so as we look at this, the focus on Jerusalem, on Israel, the anti-Semitism, the AI, ability to control people all over the world, drive to a one-world government, and we got the alien situation. So we look at this, and this alien explanation would offer some something psychologically comforting, I believe. And if you're an unbeliever, we know that God says in Thessalonians and to the Thessalonicans, the Holy Spirit says, you know, that uh God will give you a delude illusion, delusion that you will believe a lie. So don't think if you're waiting to get that supposed second chance after the rapture, that you're going to believe this. That you're gonna believe Jesus and all this, because you may not. You may believe a lie instead of the truth. People are already doing that. Evolution, um, big bang stuff, uh gender identity. I mean, who would believe the things that this generation we're in is believing? So we look at this alien explanation and it would offer this psychologically comforting, scientific, sound narrative, uh, a common external cause, and a way to avoid confronting spiritual accountability, like like uh sinful man has done throughout history. Instead of Christ's return for his church, the world would probably say something like humanity's experienced contact with advanced beings, uh, wow, that's the explanation for this. Now, whether someone believes that exact scenario or not, the deeper point really remains. Scripture repeatedly warns that humanity has a tendency to suppress the truth, to believe a lie, and embrace deception when truth becomes spiritually costly. And a culture increasingly fascinated with cosmic intelligence, altered realities and spiritual experiences detached from God, it's not difficult at all to imagine how quickly people could accept this explanation that removes the need of repentance to a holy sovereign God. Because ultimately the issue is not just aliens, it's government narratives. How is the government and the uh those people that really suppress God's people and the world around us? How are they gonna twist the narrative here? And I believe it's gonna be uh, we thought COVID was bad, this that was nothing. It will bring uh a drive for a one-world order, a one-world ruler to rule all nations. Listen to this. It's quoted by Ronald Reagan about an alien of Asian uh uniting humanity. This was President Reagan in 1987 speech at the United Nations General Assembly. He said, Perhaps we need some outside force, universal threat, to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from out the outside world. That was from President Ronald Reagan. Um and, you know, his purpose was to bring the Soviets at that time together as one. But uh really, if you think about it, it's really bringing, you know, that idea would quickly bring in, in reality, a one-world order. Also, there are some similar remarks in other contexts, such as after a 1985 meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev. Just think how easy his task and mine might be if suddenly there was a threat to this world from another species. We'd forget all the little local differences that we have between our countries, and we would find out once and for all that we really are all human beings here on this earth together. We know that now no longer called UFOs, but unidentified aerial anomalous phenomena, UAPs. They're real. We know that get this. In the 1980s, people saw this stuff. And people had their, they were can they were they were labeled as crazy. That they were out there farmer Joe in the farmland that didn't have his brain in his in his didn't have a brain in his noggin. But they they were made fun of. And now we're seeing that a lot of these people were probably telling the truth. Governments are saying the all-domain anomaly resolution office, A-A-R-O, a U.S. Department of Defense office, tracks and records reports, all aerial underwater transmedium phenomena that remain unidentified after investigation. Now that's the government. That's the people that called these people, many of them, and some of them may have been, you know, maybe they were, it was a joke, or maybe they were misled, or maybe it was falsely identified. But not all of them. I believe a lot of these people were being honest, or they were told that they were crazy. So these reports, including observations from military-commercial pilots, military and commercial, radar tracking, and ground-based observers. Some incidents remain unexplained even after official review, prompting calls from scientists and defense policy experts for open systematic study. People continue to report first-hand encounters. There are individuals, including former military, high-ranking personnel who claim to witness anomalous crafts or phenomena that defy conventional explanation. Their stories often include details of extraordinary flight behaviors, metallic and non-traditional structures, in a few cases, claims of non-human entities. So scientific interest is growing. And we see this that this is a very noting that many countries have documented these unexplained anomalies. There are also ongoing efforts to reduce the stigma around reporting and investigating UAPs. That's why they changed the name from UFOs. So that people would would not be looked at in the same light. Now there's people who have seen these non-human entities. We want to call them aliens. I don't believe they're aliens because we don't fight against flesh and blood. I believe they're dimensional and I believe they're demonic. I believe they're real. I believe there's real supposed alien craft creatures. Uh you know, uh and w and one thing that makes me we could get in is God God seems to focus solely on the earth and on his creation on earth and not on any other planets or anything. But I don't want to get off on that because we're focused here. I don't I you know, I don't believe that God created anything else on other planets, any other life forms, like humans. Um, but I don't want to go deep into that because I'm focused on this this topic right now. Some of the common things that people have that have witnessed these supposed non-human creatures and and spoke with them have interesting perspectives that they shared about Jesus. Not the people themselves, well, some of them too, but but the creatures, the the non-human life. Number one is they deny that Jesus is God. Many alleged aliens in channeled messages or abductive stories claim something like Jesus was just a good teacher, or he was one of many enlightened beings, and all spiritual paths are equal. And that's that really points out specifically, uh this is over and over again, that these creatures, I believe, are interdimensional beings, and that they're uh they're fallen angels. They're they're they're demons, they're devils. Of course, we know from scripture, John 1.1 says Jesus is God. In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. We know John 14, 6, he is the only way. He says, I am the way, the truth, and the life. There is no other way but through me. Colossians 2.9 says, in him dwells the fullness of his full deity. You know, demons in Scripture often try to distort the identity of Christ, and that's a fact. They also teach these fallen, these uh crit critters, non-human life. They teach salvation by self-evolution. Many alien messages promote a spiritual evolution, awakening your higher self or becoming divine through knowledge. You know, the same lie was in Genesis 3 when Satan said you will be like God to Adam and Eve. He still does that today with us. You know, God's holding back. You can be God. On the back of your cell phones, usually if you have an apple, isn't an apple with a bite out of it. Interesting enough. You can see a lot of the other symbols of businesses and pyramids and all this. You can see that there is a spiritual antichrist spirit that is going that is really moving strong in the world today. You know, we know Ephesians 2.8 says salvation is not earned. And God alone saves. There's no other reaching a spiritual hierarchy. We're as high as we're going to get when we're through Christ. And they also, these extraterrestrials or demons, I would say, they preach a lot of times a one-world religion. And that's a huge red flag in many uh UFO ET channeling messages, is that they tend to talk about global unity under one spiritual system, dissolving all religions so that we can all live together in peace, not be narrow-minded, and merging humanity in a single consciousness. And that really closely mirrors the end-time deception described in Revelation 13, which we'll get to as we move through Revelation, the global religious and political unity under a false system of the Antichrist and the false prophet. And they give messages also, these demons, against biblical creation. These supposed aliens often claim they created humanity. They did. They genetically engineered humans, and the Bible's primitive mythology. Earth's religions are misunderstanding of alien visits, which the Bible clearly says, and this contradicts the Bible in Genesis 1, God created mankind. Elohim, in the beginning was God, Elohim. You have uh el for a singular, masculine, uh, and a plurality of M is a plural with a plurality of persons, which, you know, indirectly points to a Father, the Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Demons historically try to pull people away from the belief of a true creator. They deny the authorship of Scripture, the authority of Scripture. They say the Bible, these extraterrestrials tend to say things, the Bible's outdated. Humans should move beyond it. All spiritual books are on the same level. We know from scripture that's totally not true. God's word is truth. It's all scriptures, God breed. And a lot of times these alien encounters involve telepathy, uh, astral projection, contacting spirits, necromancy, automatic writing, meditation to inviting beings in, which is explicitly forbidden in scripture. Deuteronomy 18, 10 through 12, Leviticus 19, 31. These practices align with occult deception, not physical visitors from another planet. There's no evidence of that. Do I think that our government right now knows that there's aliens? I believe that this is my honest opinion, through my own little nerdy uh and own personal experiences from the past. Um, I believe that they've known for many, many years that there's something out there. I believe the Area 51 and stuff is real. I believe that it wasn't just uh you know hot air balloons or you know, weather balloons. And I believe that they've actually probably already encountered them. That's why the outer outer space we've been we've been sending uh rockets, we've been sending satellites, we've been, because there's this great motivation for it, especially in the 60s, with President Kennedy wanting to go to the moon. There was this not long after all this happened, and this increase in technology. I may be a conspiracy theorist, but I I think I'm probably right. And I think this moves right into the plan of the enemy to deceive the masses. Last but not least, is they show these alien, these demons, let's just call them what they are, they show hostility toward the name of Jesus. You know, and this perhaps is the most cited point by Christian researchers. There's been individuals, alien abductions that sometimes call on Jesus, and the whole experience stops. Praying in Jesus' name drives the beings away. Using scripture ends the encounter. And this really mirrors how the gospels, demons react in Mark 1 23 through 27, and Luke and other scriptures, other uh books in the Bible. So physical aliens would not would have no reason to react in the name of Jesus unless they unless they were demons. Only demons would react to the name of Jesus. So that's my conclusion. I think uh as we look at this, we as we come into this uh chaotic world that we live. You know, I I think we we have to really focus on Jesus. I'm not advocating following signs and wonders and getting up. We need to focus on the word. We need to use the word. We need to call on Jesus. We don't need to be scared, but we need as Christians, we need to be prepared. Because the fact of the matter is, a lot of our relatives and friends will probably be left behind. And we want them to know if they are, they may believe the lie. I mean, you don't want to count on that, right? But you still want to leave that message and those seeds that, hey, if I'm out of here, remember what I told you. None of us can say with absolute certainty how the world will would respond to the rapture. And it hasn't happened yet. But I think scripture does give us the reality of Christ's return, the gathering of believers, the snatching away. Yet when we look in the direction of modern culture, it's not difficult to imagine humanity embracing explanations that avoid acknowledging Jesus or God. A world increasingly fascinated with extraterrestrials, advanced intelligence, spiritual experiences, and cosmic evolution may already be preparing itself to interpret supernatural events through a non-biblical lens. And perhaps that's the deeper issue. The question is not ultimately will aliens explain away the rapture. The deeper question is why is humanity so determined to explain away God? Because throughout Scripture, mankind often prefers explanations that preserve autonomy over surrender, comfort over repentance, and distraction over truth. If millions disappear tomorrow, the world would likely search desperately for answers that maintain control and avoid the terrifying possibility that the Bible may be right. Maybe it would be called alien intervention or dimensional ascension or cosmic selection or who knows. But for those who know Scripture, the greater concern is not what explanation the world gives. It's whether people are spiritually prepared before the day ever comes. Because the consistent message of the New Testament is not figured out every detail of the end times. The message is be ready, ready in faith, ready in repentance, ready in a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Hope you guys have a great rest of the evening and God bless and stay in the Word and be ready because I believe we're living in some times that the prophets would be jumping in but down for to be in. Take care, be excited, be prepared, and give God the glory.
