Joe Jordan is a member of the Mutual UFO Network, an organization devoted to the scientific study of the UFO phenomenon. As state section director for Brevard County, Florida, it is Jordan's job to investigate the many UFO sightings that are reported by the public. But after deciding that UFO sightings were offering little conclusive proof of the existence of extra-terrestrial life, Jordan decided to set up his own organization that would investigate reports of those who claimed to be in contact with the beings that were behind the sightings. Jordan himself was an agnostic who was involved in the New Age movement. But a co-worker that he hired to interview female abductees told him that if he was going to get involved in this field of ufology he would need special protection from the dark forces they would be dealing with. Jordan was initially sceptical that the Bible could have anything to say when it came to the UFO phenomenon, but upon seeing the protection God had to offer the believer, he accepted Christ as his Saviour. Not only is Jordan investigating reports of alien abductions, but he has discovered that there is a very real spiritual element to them which is being totally ignored by the scientific community. Many of the people that he has interviewed have reported having abduction experiences. But what Jordan has now discovered is that some of these experiences have been immediately halted while in progress by abductees who have invoked the name of Jesus Christ. 

Quote: "One of those cases was six months old, a guy named Bill who was interviewed on video in his living room during a two-hour session. "It was like, originally, we never heard what he said," Jordan said. "It starts out as a typical experience. He saw something from his living room window. He went to sleep and had an abduction experience. But during that experience, being terrified, he cried out – 'Jesus, help me' And the experience instantly stopped. He woke up in bed next to his wife." Jordan wondered why this piece of the story where the abductee invokes the name of Jesus Christ did not stand out before. "If this is real," he said. "This is huge."

Jordan's CE4 website is filled with similar testimonies of people who have experienced abduction attempts and have managed to halt them after calling on the name of Jesus Christ. As Jordan points out, if these beings are indeed extra-terrestrial in origin, there is no reason why they should respond to the name of Jesus Christ. But the fact that they are subservient to that name, and not Buddha or Mohammed, suggests that these aliens are spiritual entities whose ultimate aim is to deceive mankind. The CE4 website quotes from several Christian authors who believe that this demonic deception will form part of the end time delusion.

Quote: "July's Charisma magazine, a 200,000-plus circulation monthly, featured Christian evangelist and author Paul McGuire's article, "Alien Invaders." McGuire cites the evolution of popular New Age author Whitley Streiber's interests - from his first alien contacts in Communion, Transformation and Breakthrough to his latest titles, The Secret School: Preparations for Contact and Evenings with Demons - as an example of a progressive deception. Indeed, Streiber fans often comment - albeit positively - on their favourite author's change. From experiencing his first alien encounters as terrifying and torturous, he began to seek them out and welcome them, finally advocating them as a religious experience. That, say religious leaders, indicates a deceptive entity is at work. "Both the seemingly benign and hostile entities... will play an increasing role in preparing a segment of humanity for the reception of the Antichrist," writes best selling author David Allen Lewis and Robert Shreckhise in UFO: End-Time Delusion. And the cover of The Agenda, The Real Reason They're Here gives this premise: "In the near future, God will evacuate millions of people from the horrors to follow. Aliens will take the credit" for the Rapture (when Christians will be supernaturally airlifted to heaven), writes B. Fox, a MUFON researcher who resides in - of all places- Roswell, New Mexico.

Unfortunately we have already witnessed this delusion first hand. Last year our attention was drawn to Todd Bentley, who gave a graphic description of his own abduction experience at one of his meetings, but like Whitley Streiber, reinterprets his terrifying ordeal as a religious experience given to him by God. For Bentley, the operating room became heaven, the aliens became angels and the operation was designed to implant truth in his inward parts. Had the same experience happened to a non-believer, they might have arrived at a very different conclusion. The Bible explains for us the origin of these beings (Jude 1:6, possibly Genesis 6:1-4, Revelation 12:4). They are spiritual in nature. That is why despite years of research, no conclusive proof of extra-terrestrial life has ever been discovered. They oppose everything to do with God. That is why they can't stand the name and person of Jesus Christ. They seek to bring mankind into the bondage of sin. That is why they they put people through these horrific experiences. I believe the UFO phenomenon will form a large part of the end time deception. We have already seen a significant rise in public interest in the UFO phenomenon following the release of classified reports by the British and French governments. The Catholic and Lutheran Churches are getting in on the act. With the political and religious world 'open' to the idea of contact with extra-terrestrials, the potential for mass deception on a global scale is increasing. The Bible warns that prior to the return of Christ, God Himself will send people strong delusion that they should believe a lie (2nd Thessalonians 2:11-12). People that have accepted the theory of evolution are now reaching the logical conclusion that there is life in outer space. They assume that these beings would be benevolent in nature, and that contact with extra-terrestrial intelligence will result in the salvation of this planet. They have no idea that these beings have been plotting our downfall for the last 6000 years, and that they are merely awaiting the perfect opportunity to invade. If you are going to fight a spiritual battle, you need spiritual armour. Jesus Christ provided that armour for us when He defeated the devil on Calvary's hill 2000 years ago.

Hebrews 2:14-15
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Luke 11:20-22
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

The devil is that strong man in your life. He keeps you in the bondage of sin. But there is One Who is stronger than he. Only He has the power to bind the strong man and to overcome him. If you are saved then there is no power in heaven or earth that can touch you. If you are not saved, then you are at the strong man's mercy. Turn away from your sin and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation today.
