The Perfect Storm Is Coming – Part V

Alien Encounters!

“And I saw three unclean spirits…they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” Revelation 16:13,14.

From The X-Flies to Medium; from Stephen King to J.K. Rowling; from Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and Art Bell, media moguls and marketing geniuses are cashing in on modern-day spiritualism.  From psychics to ghosts; from OBEs (out of body experiences) to NDEs (near death experiences), countless millions are buying the Grand Eden Lie!”

From Yoga, Ouija boards and hypnotism to Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, millions of professed Christians are tuning in and turning on to the spirits, oblivious to the danger stalking them. Most are comfortable in their presence, finding the spirits helpful and even entertaining.

The paranormal – tantalizing so-called enlightened modernists – is but “Eden’s forbidden fruit,” dresses seductively and made palatable for the last generation. Fallen angels, extraterrestrials, possess knowledge and energies far superior to our own. They are able to morph themselves, and astound human beings with their supernatural powers and super technology, but they are demons, cunningly disguised and full of lies.

UFOs may be ‘flying objects,” but they are not “UNDENTIFIED!”
‘We come from other worlds and we come in peace. We have been visiting and observing your world for centuries. We have made numerous efforts to communicate with your world leaders. It is necessary that we boldly forward at this time because we see great trouble ahead for your world. We come in the spirit of ‘communion,’ and we are here to inform you that it is time for your Messiah to return to earth, as he promised. You must be ready to receive him and accept the message of peace he brings for all mankind.”

Jesus warned us they would appear at the end: ‘Take heed that no man deceives you. For many shall come in my name, saying I am the Christ; and shall deceive many….Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christ’s, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matthew 24: 4, 5, 23, 24.


Ready or not, here they come!


THINK ABOUT IT …
Many people believe that the “soul” or “spirit” of a person remains conscious even after death, but is this so? The Bible has much to say regarding man’s condition in death. Here are only a few dozen of Scripture references on this topic:

At creation, God made a living soul!
“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Genesis 2:7

Dust (or body) + BREATH = LIVING SOUL


What the Bible says about a person at death:
“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit (breath; similar Hebrew concept as in Genesis 2:7) shall return unto God who gives it.”

Ecclesiastes 12:7

 

So, DUST (or body) – Spirit (or breath) = DEAD PERSON

Note: Here are the same two elements mentioned in Ecclesiastes 12:7. The “dust of the ground” is the body, and the “breath of life” is the “spirit” that comes from God. God did not put a living soul in Adam! Adam became a living soul after God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. A light bulb cannot turn on without electricity. The light turns on only when the light bulb and electricity unite. When the electricity is turned off, the light ceases to exist. According to the Bible, when the breath departs from the body, the soul ceases to exist. Here is the simple equation once more:

DUST (or body) + BREATH (or spirit) = LIVING SOUL

Then, DUST (or body – BREATH (or spirit) = DEAD PERSON

A dead person has no thought:
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.”

Psalm 146:4

The dead have no knowledge or emotion:
“For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.”

Ecclesiastes 9: 5, 6


The dead do not praise God:
“The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.” Psalm 115:17

“For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?”


How did Jesus explain “death” to His disciples?
“Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then one of his disciples said, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then Jesus said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.”            John 11: 11-14


When did Martha expect her brother, Lazarus, to live again?
“Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha said unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”                     John 11: 23, 24

Note: Martha, Mary and Lazarus were close friends of Jesus. Martha had listened attentively to what Jesus taught about death, and she believed the dead would be raised in the Resurrection at the last day as Christ promised.      John 6: 39, 40

When may we expect the resurrection?
“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.”

                                       1 Corinthians 15: 22, 23

“Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”      John 5:28, 29

“For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”  1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17


THINK ABOUT IT... If a person should, by accident or a blow to the head, be rendered unconscious, what awareness or ‘consciousness” would a person ‘knocked out” possess? None! This is the meaning of the term “unconscious.” Then it is reasonable to assume, or believe, that if the same person were struck again and killed he would suddenly be conscious, fully knowing and aware? The Scriptures are consistent and reasonable in this regard. Even more, pretended communication with the dead by the living is absolutely forbidden in Scripture (see Isaiah 8: 19 & 20).  The ancient pagan belief (consciousness in death) is illogical, unreasonable and opens the door for demonic activity (deception by fallen evil angels) and potential eternal loss.
