Two seemingly unrelated news stories caught my attention today: One dealing with Saturn and the other dealing with Russia which both, I believe, fit right into a Bible prophecy concerning the Last Days.
On December 18, NASA scientists announced the discovery of a reflective substance, which they believe to be water, on the Northern Hemisphere of Saturn's Moon Titan. According to a CNN article, "Experts believe the presence of liquid on a planet or moon improves the chances that some kind of life could develop there". This statement reflects a growing trend in the scientific community that life can and will be found in space. This discovery joins the ranks of other recent and similar discoveries such as NASA's announcement of significant amounts of water found on the moon, the building block of life found on a comet, a researcher's claim that there may be fish-size life on Jupiter's moon Europa, and evidence from a meteorite of ancient life on Mars. Okay, let's catch our breath for a moment and then quickly take a look at the next story.

On December 18, reports out of Russia claim that a huge pyramid shaped "UFO" hovered over Moscow for several hours. Some have described it as looking like an Imperial Cruiser from Star Wars. According to a Telegraph article, Russia reports that it is not a UFO but declined to comment on what the alternative might be. Of course this has not stopped wild speculation of what this mysterious craft may have been. You may remember that in October another mysterious phenomenon occured over the Moscow sky with the sighting of a halo-like cloud, reminiscent of scenes from the 1996 movie Independence Day.
If we put these two stories together - scientists finding evidence of life in outerspace, and weird mysterious UFO's and related phenomena - we have all the right ingredients for a coming of a powerful delusion in the Last Days that was spoken of in the Bible.
In 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 we read:
"1 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for (that day will not come) until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Don't you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness."
According to the apostle Paul, the coming of the Anti-Christ [the lawless one] will be displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs, and wonders; Perhaps much like we are seeing plastered all over today's headlines. It seems that these signs and wonders are increasing at an exponential rate. Could they be foretelling the soon arrival of the Anti-Christ? Will these UFO sightings culminate in a disclosure event where we are visited by these "alien beings" (think ABC's series "V")? It appears that the scientific community, and even the religious community, is prepping us for a soon-coming announcement of the discovery of life on other planets. If this is the case, then there is no doubt that this so-called "alien-life" (aka Fallen Angels) will turn us away from the true God, evidenced by Jesus Christ, and to a false god(s) instead, thus creating a powerful delusion so that those who do not believe in Jesus Christ will believe the lie.
Could the arrival of the Fallen Angels, posing as Intelligent life from other planets, claiming to have put us here and telling us they have come back to guide us into a new enlightened age, be what the Apostle Paul was referring to as he was led by the Holy Spirit when writing to the Thessalonians? It may or may not be one possible explanation. Of course we will not find out until that time comes but whatever the powerful delusion may be we must remember that the truth is found in no one else except Jesus Christ (1 John 2:22) Surely we are living in the Last Days and awaiting the soon return of Jesus! Are you ready?
