My Opinion On Steven Spielberg’s Movie Disclosure Day

This message is going to be based on my opinion of watching the recent Stephen Spielberg movie “Disclosure Day.” I remember listening to a podcast or YouTube short in which the God believing speaker did not give a favorable review to the movie and in fact recommended that no one watch it. So, I grabbed ahold of this advice and made that recommendation to any interested parties. Not a good decision on my part no doubt.

But then my “teacher calling” came out in me and I thought that if someone were to ask me about what I thought about the movie and I didn’t have an answer then I would also be missing out on a potential opportunity to possibly speak the truth in love which is contained within this message. What’s that you ask? Well, you will have to put on your “I want to learn” hat and then draw your own conclusions after you have heard the entire message:

Luke 6:40 - 40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher.

Luke 5:39 - 39 And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”

I say this because I have had people who did not listen to an entire message only to attempt to debate me without a full understanding of the message. I liken these type of people to one who looks at a book introduction or cover and reads the back cover somehow thinking that they are now qualified to have a discussion about its contents. This used to be me in grade school. Little did I know that it was a shortcut to stupidity. To be fair this is a common practice of lazy Christians or the young ones that are full of zeal but do not understand the process of learning and understanding. I was this type of Christian in my early days, so I speak from embarrassing experiences.

Hello, this is Ken, your podcast preacher. Welcome back to my podcast, Deep Waters. This podcast is brought to you by Applied Strengths Ministry, where we believe working together in our strengths is the effect of working out the will and calling of God and into our lives. Thanks for joining me. Let's open up in prayer. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed you with every spiritual blessing and heavenly places in Christ. Just as he chose you and him before the foundation of the world, that you should be holy and without blame before him in love, having predestined you to adoption as your son or daughter by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, which he purposed in himself, to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he made you accepted in a beloved. In him ye have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace which he made to abound towards you in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to you the mystery of his will, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times, he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth in him. That the eyes of your understanding would be open wider, and that you would be enlightened to who he is, that you may know what is the hope of his calling. What are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in you? And what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards you, who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and seated him in his right hand in the heavenly places, that he would grant that you would be strengthened with might through his spirit in the inner man, and into your spirit and heart, consistently walking in the spirit so that you would be able to stand against the appetites of your flesh, the corrupted spirit of this world, the devil and his demons, and any and all fleshly desires and temptations, and pray that your love may abound more and more and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be real about your Christianity and unoffendable until the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness, love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, which are by Jesus Christ to the Holy Spirit, to the glory and praise of God. That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, being fruitful in every good work, strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints who walk by the Spirit and the light. I pray that your hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love and unity, and that you would attain to all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which has been given to each of my listeners by Christ Jesus, that you are enriched in everything by him, in all utterance and all knowledge, so that you do not come short in obtaining or operating in your calling and purpose, nor in using any spiritual gifts or talents, to perform mighty miracle signs and wonders, and that we would do the greater works of Jesus yet to be accomplished, that we would be found eagerly waiting for the continued revelation of our Lord Jesus, who will confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the near coming of the day of our Lord. God is faithful by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus. Okay, so now therefore, my sisters and brothers in Christ, when things get tough, think about whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and whatever things are of a good report. If there is any virtue, and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things alone. I pray that in these very end of end time days that you would let your love be without hypocrisy. Show people your faith by your works and service and love. Hate and loathe what is evil, cling to what is good and righteous, be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another, not lagging in diligence, fervent and fully engulfed in spiritual fire, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, walking in the peace of God, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer, distributing to the needs of the saints, that is each other, and that you would be given a hospitality. May the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like minded towards one another, according to Christ, that we learn to be of one mind and one accord, striving to get along no matter what disagreements we may encounter, operating completely and fully in love, always striving for the working out of God's specific will for each of our lives, while working in partnership with each other within the church and the Holy Spirit, as He manifests His miracle signs and wonders through the daily activities of our ministry and kingdom work, and while we also go out preaching the gospel in Word and Deed. Let us love and serve one another, our enemy, and those who wouldn't expect us to do so, considering each person better than ourselves. Bind up any words or thoughts that are contrary to the love of God, or which would set you back in your Christian walk. Guard your hearts from anything that would hinder the growth of your character. Never forget that you can do all things in Christ, and never forget this means all things. Ah, step out in faith today and walk with God and with each other, being assured that nothing will separate you from Him as long as you abide in Him. Call those things that don't exist as so they do. Remember the faith of God of which we have created the universe by the Rama and Logos Word of God, so that what is seen was not made of the things that are visible. All you need for this life is invisible until you apply your faith to receive it, but make sure you make your request known to God without fear, doubting, and unbelief. Always remember that he that is in you is greater than he that is in the world. Be more than a conqueror today, submitting to the will of God and everything. Never forget that you can do all things through Christ who will strengthen you to this very today. Let each of us express uncompromising love towards one another and humility while maintaining a teachable spirit, seeking to grow no matter how much it challenges our current thinking. I pray that God will give you the revelation within this message that he intends you to receive with the understanding. Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy. To God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. In Jesus' name we pray, amen. The title of this message is My Opinion on Stephen Spelberg's movie Disclosure Day. This message is going to be based on my opinion of watching the recent Stephen Spelberg movie Disclosure Day. I remember listening to a podcast or YouTube short in which the God believing speaker did not give a favorable review to the movie, and in fact recommended that no one watch it. So I grabbed a hold of that advice and made that recommendation to any interested parties. Not a good decision on my part, no doubt. But then my teaching calling came out in me and I thought that if someone were to ask me about what I thought about the movie and I didn't have an answer, then I would also be missing out on a potential opportunity to possibly speak the truth in love, which is contained within this message. What's that, you ask? Well, you will have to put on your I want to learn hat and then draw your own conclusions after you have heard the entire message. Luke six forty, a disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. Luke five thirty nine, and no one having drunk old wine, immediately desires new, for he says the old is better. I say this because I have had people who didn't even listen to an entire message only to attempt to debate me without a full understanding of that message. I liken these types of people or behaviors to one who looks at a book introduction or cover and reads the back cover, somehow thinking that they are now qualified to have a discussion about its contents. This used to be me in grade school. Little did I know that it was a shortcut to stability. To be fair, this is a common practice of lazy Christians or the young ones that are full of zeal, but do not understand the process of learning and understanding. I was this type of Christian in my early days, so I speak from embarrassing experiences. What is important to understand is that if you are a non believer, then this stuff won't make any sense. Your lack of faith and belief in God will keep you ignorant and believing the father of lies. Now but if you are a lazy or laxadaisical believer, then this too will work against you, and this message, as well as many others that I have done, will sound far fetched and may even cause you to believe you are qualified or entitled to voice your ignorant position to me, declaring that I have lost my mind, and that I am outside of the boundaries of scripture. And for this message or any alien message that I have done, you would in fact be partially correct. I am in fact potentially outside of Scripture. But here is what is important for any believer to grab a hold of, which is that some narrative will have to be used by the Antichrist to explain away the rapture. Something or some anomaly is going to represent fearful sights in the sky. Something is going to cause even the elect to potentially believe in a demonically reproduced deception. Something is going to cause the love of many to grow cold. Something is going to minimize and decrease the faith of the body of Christ, and something or some type of event or events will be classified as false miracle signs and wonders. Now all of that will be supported by the truth of the word. I am including the scriptures in the next section, which is exactly this section. I am doing it this way so that you could first hear what I am speaking about without any interruption. Yes, so as always, it is redundant, and but my statements will be supported by scripture. I believe it is important to open this message up this way so that you can be sure of the things which will be taking place. What is important to understand is if you are someone who fits in any of the following groups, then this stuff won't make any sense. Fake believers, make believers, nonbelievers, the religious crew known as the Pharisees, Sodducees, religious attorneys, and false scribes, the group of falsies such as the false Christ, false teachers, false apostles, false prophets, wolves in sheep's clothing, and those stuck in the valley of indecision. Those categories are all discussed in the Bible and can readily be supported by scripture. Homework. You will not be able to understand God's plan or any scripture because the Bible states in Matthew fifteen fourteen, let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind, and if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch. This group will no doubt be those that work in the social media industry, the news industry, and many politicians and government leaders, and there are more, but we'll talk about them later. Matthew thirteen eleven. He answered and said to them, Because it has been given to you, the authentically born again Christian, to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. To them is categorized as anyone in a group previously mentioned Matthew thirteen, fourteen through fifteen, and in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says hearing you will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive, for the hearts of this people have grown dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed. Least they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, least they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them. So again this defines you if you fall into any category other than being an authentically born again believer. Your lack of faith and belief in God will keep you ignorant and believing the father of lies, and the narrative that he is currently rolling out. John eight four four. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. Yes, Jesus was talking to a group that fell into one of those categories, and we too could fall into one of those groups or categories if we are not paying attention. Now, but if you are a lazy or laxadaisical believer, then this too will work against you, and this message, as many others that I have done, will sound far fetched and may even cause you to believe that you have permission to possibly voice your ignorant position against me and others, and declaring that I have lost my mind, and I am outside the boundaries of Scripture. Hebrews five eleven through fourteen, of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing, for though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food, for everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby, but solid food belongs to those who are full of age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Now you would be partially correct in that I may be potentially outside of Scripture as it relates to aliens, but here is what is important for any believer to grab a hold of, which is that some narrative will have to be used by the Antichrist to explain away the rapture. You can listen to my message titled Velocirapture, which was posted february fourth, twenty twenty six for more rapture support. Thessalonians four, sixteen through seventeen. This is a primary passage used to describe the event. It states that the Lord will descend from heaven, the dead in Christ will rise first, and the living believers will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. This passage describes a mystery where living and dead believers will be transformed and given imperishable bodies in an instant in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet. Supporting text. Other passages often referenced in discussions about believers being gathered or taken include John fourteen one through three, Matthew twenty four, thirty through thirty one, and Luke seventeen thirty four through thirty seven. Look, something or an anomaly is going to represent fearful sights in the sky. Luke twenty one eleven, and there will be great earthquakes in various places and famines and pestilences, and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. Something is going to cause even the elect to potentially believe in a demonically reproduced deception. Matthew twenty four twenty four for false Christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders, to deceive if possible even the elect. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of his mouth, and destroy with the brightness of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders. Revelation thirteen, thirteen through fourteen. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. Something is going to cause the love of many to grow cold, Matthew twenty four twelve, and because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. Yes, so what we would like to know is where does or causes lawlessness to abound? It is a satanically induced behavior, so in the interest of knowing and understanding what causes this specifically, let's move forward. I know that in human relationships, couples who draw away from one another usually experience a cooling love for one another. So does this mean that if the Antichrist convinces people to believe in aliens and that we came from them, will many begin to draw away from their relationship with God? Something is going to minimize and decrease the faith of the body of Christ. Luke eighteen eight, I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he really find faith on the earth? Something or some type of event or events will be classified as false miracle signs and wonders. I have briefly previously mentioned the scriptures that support this category of something already. Did Jesus tell us these things and then expect us to be ignorant of those specific events? I think not, as God is not in the business of dropping such truths without assisting us in getting the revelation of what they mean or represent as we mine out his revelation in his Bible. Take a look at Proverbs chapter two. We will reference additional scriptures, but remember to always look them up, as sometimes it is simply a summary of what they say. Proverbs four seven instructs you to get wisdom and understanding, calling wisdom the most important thing you can acquire. Proverbs two three through five tells you to cry out for insight, lift your voice up for understanding, and search for her like hidden treasure. Proverbs three five warns that you don't lean on your own understanding, but to trust in God in everything. James one five promises that if anyone lacks wisdom, they should ask God who gives generously to all. Listen to this and ask yourself what Jesus intended by saying it. Matthew sixteen two through three. He answered and said to them, When it is evening you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red, and in the morning it will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening. Hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. It is not God's intention to leave us spiritually blind or ignorant, or even in the dark, as he is light and there is no darkness in him, nor in us who believe. This is a message which we have heard from him and declare to you that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree, let's see. Second Corinthians four six for God who said let light shine out of darkness made his light shine in our hearts, to give us a light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ. This verse directly says God's light shines inside the heart of believers. Matthew five fourteen through sixteen tells his followers, You are the light of the world, and commands them to let their light shine before others so people can see their good deeds. Ephesians five eight states, for you were once in darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light. Paul explains that believers do not just reflect light, but become light through their connection to God. John eight twelve, Jesus states I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. Jesus links having the spiritual life directly to having his light within. So if he is light and we is light, then would he leave us in the dark about the things that he tells us through his Son Jesus? John twelve forty six Jesus says I have come as a light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me would not remain in darkness. Psalms eighteen twenty eight. King David writes For it is you who light my lamp. The Lord my God lightens my darkness. Psalms one hundred thirty nine, eleven through twelve. This passage explains that darkness is not dark to God, as the night shines as bright as a day to him. Psalm twenty three four. The Psalmist says that even when walking through the darkest valley, he fears no evil because God is with him. Okay, so let's light on. To be clear, if it isn't the alien narrative being touted by some, who are hungry seekers and believers, should we be watching for what it will be, as all of what I am telling you that the Bible stated will happen. Whether it involves aliens or not is up to you to decide. But I would encourage you to listen to the very loud voices who have been and are filling the airwaves and our many forms of media with this alien narrative. As Morpheus would say, is that air you are breathing? What I mean is, do you think that the many, many, many chitty chatty movies and disclosure type videos and podcast interviews, including the current release of Steven Spelberg's movie Disclosure Day, is nothing more than a series of random events? And all right within these end time days, of which many even including those in the following list fake believers, make believers, nonbelievers, the religious crew, known as the Pharisees, Sodducees, religious attorneys, and false scribes, a group of falsies such as the false Christ, teachers, apostles, prophets, wolves in sheep's clothing, and those stuck in the valley of indecision. Consider we're all watching this, but most of the documentaries and movies today are made by unbelievers, and even people in that list. Now I'm not picking on anyone, but I am trying to equip you for the potential that if you are not walking close to God and are more interested in meeting those friendly aliens who could be potential demons wearing masks, then you cannot blame God as he is showing us that debate, the Antichrist plan, has a hook, and we can see it if we will simply take an investigative look. Keep in mind those who are ignorant of God will always come up with an alien friendly narrative. The majority of those who feel the aliens are anything but bent and sent out to destroy humanity will be those who do not believe in God or know his ways. Our responsibility as authentically born again Christians is to seek, use discernment, test the spirits, seek understanding and to simply have an answer for those who will be caught off guard by these end time events. Matthew seven seven through eight. Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you. John eight thirty two. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Jeremiah twenty nine thirteen. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart. It's an old Testament parallel regarding searching for God. In Proverbs eight, seventeen, I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. And now but we should be truthful and share in love. If you bury your head in the sand, then you too will be caught off guard. We do not have any scriptures that record the success of anyone who desired to remain ignorant of biblical, historical, or current world events. You, my friend, will not be the exception. Remember, you get to choose what you want to believe. Not even God will violate your free will, and this is why it is important to remain teachable. A pull filter is not needed if the water never gets contaminated. Use your Bible and discernment to filter out the debris that will land in your way. I filter everything from movies, chitty chatty conversations, news social media, current events, news media, music, and other such communication and information sources through what the Bible says. It is the infallible truth which, for this very reason, we can have peace in a world that is completely inundated with a million times too much information. We humans think that we can handle the current tech that we have, for example, the cell phone in your hands. But if you are like me, you only use less than five percent of its capabilities that are placed in it. It's my belief that we are beyond information capacity. Listen, people actively use roughly thirty to forty percent of the applications installed on their cell phones on a regular monthly basis, leaving the majority largely ignored. The daily use and average smartphone use. One user has between forty and eighty apps installed, but actively opens only about nine to thirteen of them each day. On a monthly basis, people engage with roughly 30 apps over the span of a month. This means fifty to sixty percent of uninstalled applications see little to no regular activity. The core few research indicates that ninety-two percent of a user's total mobile time is spent concentrated on just six or fewer favorite apps, typically dominated by social media, messaging, and web browsers. I know the information is out there if we will just care enough about our own well being and that of others to be honest with ourselves. The appetite for knowledge, or rather our appetite to move into new information portals before we understand the current information portals that we are standing in is our way overestimation of our intelligence and ability, and it is because we feed off of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil Genesis two seventeen and three twenty two. Without trying to sound too sarcastic, did you notice that the word knowledge is a part of the definition of that tree? Why do we attend university when in fact we will forget much of what we learn before we can even apply it? Listen to the statistics and ask yourself if this makes any sense. Students typically forget fifty to eighty percent of the specific factual details they learned in individual classes by the time they graduate, and that number climbs even higher for general education courses outside their major. Can you imagine forgetting more than eighty percent of the classes you had to pay for? Cognitive science and memory research shows that the knowledge decay depends heavily on how the information was learned and whether it is used. The forgetting curve classic psychological research shows that without active reinforcement or review, people forget roughly 50% of new information within an hour and up to 70% within twenty four hours, the use it or lose it effect. Studies assessing long-term retention of college subjects like general chemistry or mechanics reveal that non majors or students who never apply the concept again suffer a 50 to 60% loss in conceptual understanding just a few years after completing the course. Majors retain more. Students retain significantly more information in core classes within their major because those concepts are practiced, built upon, and repeated across multiple semesters. For example, studies on physics and engineering majors show near zero loss in core problem solving abilities over time. And I would say if you're not gifted to be in the physics industry or engineering industry, then you too will simply forget the majority of that information. So why college graduates forget so much? Cramming for exams, studying strictly to pass a test encodes information in short-term memory rather than in deep long term schema. Passive learning, rereading textbooks or listening to passive lectures results in rapid memory fading compared to active recall or space testing. Irrelevance to daily life. Details from elective classes or specific historical dates naturally fade because the brain discards unused data to clear space for daily functioning. Now, if they advertised education like that, I think that there would be less people doing that and seeking for what God has called them to do, rather than just falling into a four-year educational period where they could lose up to 80% of the knowledge. I will talk about my ideas for how we can fix the educational system, making it way more successful for us to learn what we learn in another message. And with that foundation, we now get to what I saw, think, and caution you to look for if and when you might decide to watch this movie. And yes, I will be giving away some parts of the movie, but it cannot be avoided if I'm trying to explain what it is that you may want to be paying attention to. So on September 7th, as I watched the movie Disclosure Day by Steven Spielberg, some things bothered me within my spirit. Would I think the movie to be entertaining if I were unsaved? Yes. Just like the many other science fiction movies that I have watched. But things are different now since I have been running for God for nearly thirty years. I have learned to filter everything through what the Bible says and from what I understand that it says, which is why this movie caused me some portion of consternation or distress. Not because I think it might have some effect on me, but because of the overarching message that it is sending out, which aligns with other alien movies and documentaries that are also sending out the same message. Now some will say, Well, I don't believe in God or demons, and it is right there that they have their excuse, while others will say, I don't believe in aliens, and they too will have their excuse. But within the message I have simply resolved to look into a matter and more specifically to look line upon line and precept upon precept Isaiah twenty eight ten and verse thirteen. I listed eight concerns about scenes or lines that were suggestive of aliens and what their real purpose and motivation is. For this message, know that I am taking the position that aliens are demons in disguise. Satan always likes to hide until he can't. One, there was a question posed which is that if they were real, would they change humanity's perception about who God is? The movie implies that God would still be God. It is the absence of information that is concerning, which is, will it change humanity's thinking about who Jesus is? Two, there were three groups or types of people in the movie. One group believed that UFOs and anything related to them needed to be kept from humanity. The other group was ignorant of such things and were content to be so. But the final group, which included two people who were abducted by aliens, also include people who believed the aliens were friendly and came here to Earth to help humanity. three, within the movie it showed scenes of the government agencies abusing the aliens who were crying out in pain and fear as they did research on them. four, the movie used a nun which could be construed as the Catholic Church representing all religious positions regarding aliens, of which they had publicly stated that they do believe in aliens, answering a question from somebody who left the covenant with only a partial belief in what the Bible states. This was evident in the character's discussion and behaviors throughout the movie. Anyway, her question was, is there room to believe that there are aliens and still believe in God? To which the nun replied Yes, and then misquoted the Bible to support her position. Five. It was stated or implied in the movie that they are superior to us in every way, and therefore were above us or had the ability to improve humanity based on what we thought of them. six, it was towards the end of the movie that the two characters who represented alien abductions as children were initially in fear, being in the spaceship under the investigation of aliens. But the movie implied that as they held hands they found a peace in the midst of uncomfortable circumstances. Of the two characters that were abducted as children by aliens, as they grew up, they eventually began to operate in the realm of knowledge and supernaturally. The male actor portrayed one who had the ability to understand numbers, which he converted from the English language and vice versa. The female actor was given the ability to know a person instantaneously by looking in their eyes. And number eight, the movie showed that aliens came in the costumes of animals and were friendly towards humans. The movie stated that the aliens disguised themselves in this manner so that we would be less afraid to follow or approach them if indeed we saw them as they really are. Okay, so let's close in prayer. No way. I know that if I left it there you might be inclined to say, so what? What are your concerns, Mr. Podcast? I'm a conspiracy theorist preacher? Nah, I know you wouldn't think that, but so I will run the pool water through the filter, and then you can make up your own mind to swim in it or not. I will reread the problems and then include my response, and of this we will close. Number one, there was a question posed, which is that if they were real, would they change humanity's perception about who God is? The movie implies that God would still be God. It is the absence of information that is concerning which is that it will change humanity's thinking about who Jesus is. The Antichrist's intent is to cause all of humanity to question the divinity of Jesus. Same same as he did to Eve in the garden. Genesis three one. Let's look at who Jesus is. John one, one and verse fourteen. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. John twenty twenty eight. Thomas answered and said to him, Jesus, my Lord and my God. Titus two thirteen, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. Hebrews one eight. But to the Son he says, Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. Romans nine five. From them, as far as a physical descent is concerned, came the Christ, who was God over all, praised forever, amen. His claims and identity John eight fifty eight, Jesus said to them, Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was, I am. Colossians two nine, for in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And Isaiah nine six, for to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and he will be called wonderful counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. two, there were three groups or types of people in the movie. One group believed that UFOs and anything related to them needed to be kept from humanity. The other group was ignorant of such things and were content to be so, but the other group which included two people who were abducted by aliens also included people who believed the aliens were friendly and came here to Earth to help humanity. The groups of people represents the governments of the world along with the third party contractors who work for them. The so called experts, and we apply that label way too easily today, will bring a convincing narrative, proving in their mind that science supports what the aliens say. And since they don't operate in faith, the other side of the coin is simply blank for them. The second group usually consists of nonbelievers scientists, physicists, astronomers, astrophysicist, cosmologist, planetary scientists, astrobiologist, and some astronauts. Are there more people groups that don't believe in or aliens? Yes, and but there are not always in the same groups. Anyways, this is the second group. The third group is often those who don't believe in God, or, and here is where my concern lies, a Christian community that is unaware of what their Bibles say. They are susceptible to the voices of communities, the devil and anything that appeals to the flesh. The following scripture is not only a warning to the unbeliever who most often will not choose to read the Bible, and therefore we must conclude that it was also written for our benefit as believers. For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called, but God has chosen the fullest things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty, and the base things of the world and the things which are despised, God has chosen, and the things which are not to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in his presence. And you will find that most scientists and those people in the groups that I just mentioned have some level of pride, and so they are unable to see. Remember, the blind lead the blind, and they both fall in a ditch. If you are prone to eat from the corrupted tree of knowledge, then this is a good reminder, so that you understand that without Christ you can do nothing. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him bears much fruit, for without me you can do nothing. You could have twelve Harvard degrees, and but if you don't believe in God, you can do nothing. You will speak in ignorance and actually believe it. three. Within the movie it showed scenes of the government agencies abusing the aliens who were crying out in pain and fear as they did research on them. Let's see if we can do a full disclosure on the truth of the matter using scripture Mark nine fourteen through twenty nine. And when he came to the disciples he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them. Immediately when they saw him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him, and he asked the scribes, What are you discussing with them? Then one of the crowd answered and said, Teacher, I brought to you my son who has a mute spirit. Does this sound fun? The kid was caused to be mute by the devil, and whatever it seized him, it throws him down, who threw who down, and he foams at the mouth. This is not embarrassing at school for a kid to be foaming at the mouth, right? And what is to say of attending every doctor in the land to find out what is happening to this boy? It is a waste of time, money, and added stress for the kid and parents. Demons don't respond to medication. Gnashes his teeth, sounds friendly, right? And becomes rigid, a loss of physical control. These are the exact same things that happen to those who claim that they were abducted by aliens. All of those same behaviors. That's not a coincidence, is it? So I spoke to your disciples that they should cast it out, but they could not. Notice it doesn't say that they should take him to the doctor. I'm not against doctors. Verse nineteen he answered him and said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me. Then they brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth. Think about this, the demon is doing this to a defenseless kid. twenty one. So he asked his father, How long has this been happening to him? And he said from childhood, and often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. This is the nature of the devil who has come in alien costumes. The look changes, but the nature of the demon doesn't. The thief does not come except to kill, still, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly. On with verse twenty two. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us. In the movie one of the actors was empathetic about the fact that aliens have compassion that humans do not. Satan doesn't do anything new. He spends much of his time inverting what God states in his word. Is there more evidence of where compassion comes from in the Bible? Matthew nine thirty six. Jesus looks at the confused and helpless crowds, feeling deep pity for them like sheep without a shepherd. Matthew fourteen fourteen. Jesus sees a large crowd, feeling compassion and heals their sick. Matthew fifteen thirty two. Jesus feeds a hungry crowd of four thousand people because they have nothing to eat and have been with him for three days. Matthew twenty thirty four. Moved by deep pity, Jesus touched the eyes of two blind men and restored their sight. Mark one forty through forty one. A man with leprosy begs Jesus for healing, and Jesus reaches out his hand, touches him, and expresses compassion. Luke seven thirteen. Jesus sees a grieving widow burying her only son and tells her not to weep before raising him back to life. Nowhere in the Bible is a demon or Satan described doing these things. The original Greek word used in these passages is splagenomia. Okay, so let me spell that so you know why I mispronounced it. S P L A G C H N I Z O M I A. You see? Alright. It means to be moved from your inner core or guts. It shows that Jesus did not just feel a distant pity, he felt the deep physical and emotional weight of the human suffering and acted to help. Verse twenty three, Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, Lord, I believe, help my unbelief. When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you to come out of him and to enter him no more. What? The kid was also made deaf by the demon? Yes. Then the spirit cried out, convulsed in him greatly. Does it say left peaceably? Nope. And came out of him, and he became as one dead. You see, the spirit tried to kill his host on the way out, so that many said he is dead, but Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. four, the movie used a nun which could be construed as the Catholic Church representing all religious positions regarding aliens, of which they themselves have publicly stated that they do believe in aliens. Anyway, the nun answering a question from somebody who left the convent with only a partial belief in what the Bible states. This was evident in the character's discussions and behaviors throughout the movie. Anyway, her question was, is there room to believe that there are aliens and still believe in God? To which the nun replied yes, and then misquoted the Bible to support her position. The nun quoted out of Genesis and stated that God basically created everything on earth, which left space open for additional creations. Again, in case you missed it, she only stated on earth, which did lead me to pull up other scriptures which contradict her misquoting the Bible. Genesis one says in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. I believe this is a scripture she was referring to. It states and the earth, not on the earth. Now do we have any scriptures that talk about God's work being done or completed after he created during those six creation days? Genesis two. Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing, so on the seventh day he rested from his work. Genesis two three. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. Exodus twenty eleven reaffirms that God made the heavens, earth, and sea in six days before resting on the seventh. In Hebrews four four references God resting on the seventh day from all his works. All is the imperative word. five, it was stated or implied that in the movie they are superior to us in every way, and therefore were above us or had the ability to improve humanity based on what we thought of them. So this is a collection of scriptures that supports the statement that we have authority over demons. Remember I told you I believe demons wear alien costumes and this is how they're going to deceive the world. Mark sixteen seventeen, Jesus says that signs will accompany those who believe stating in my name, they will cast out demons. You cannot cast out demons by any other name. Matthew ten, seven through eight. When sending out the twelve disciples, Jesus instructs them as you go, proclaim this message. The kingdom of heaven has come near, heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. Luke nine through two. Jesus calls the twelve together and gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases. Luke ten one and verse seventeen. Jesus appoints seventy two others and sends them out two by two. When they return they report with joy. Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name. So yes, we must assume that aliens are demons for those scriptures to be applicable. But then Satan is hoping that you will assume that aliens are not demons in disguise. six. It was towards the end of the movie that the two characters who represented alien abductions as children were initially in fear because of the spaceship under the investigation of aliens, but the movie implied that as they held their hands, they found a peace in the midst of uncomfortable circumstances. Okay, so this section is going to focus on the fear of God and not of Satan, although there are hundreds of thousands of actual demonic cases in which invoke fear in those who first might come across such events. Christians are told how to handle them, and it is not in a spirit of fear. There are over three hundred cases where people use the name of Jesus when they were confronted by an alien and the aliens disappeared. You cannot explain that away with science. You would have to just call those three hundred people liars, of which would then make you operating in the same spirit of Satan. Second Timothy one seven, for God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Now for those who may have some biblical knowledge and want to challenge the fact that when humanity also came across angels, and in fact the very presence of God, they were afraid. To that I would say yes, let's look. Genesis fifteen one, God or a divine messenger tells Abraham, Do not be afraid, Abraham, I am your shield. Daniel ten twelve. An angel says to Daniel, Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding, your words were heard. Matthew one twenty. An angel appears to Joseph in a dream and says, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife. Luke one thirteen. The angel of Gabriel tells Zechariah, Do not be afraid, Zachariah, your prayer has been heard. Luke one thirty, Gabriel says to Mary, Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. Luke two ten. An angel appears to the shepherds at Jesus' birth and says, Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Matthew twenty eight five. An angel at the empty tomb tells the woman, Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. And Acts twenty seven twenty four. An angel tells Paul during a storm at sea, do not be afraid, Paul, you must stand trial before Caesar. So what statement stands out in those fearful encounters? Do not be afraid. A demon or alien would never say this, as they want you to be afraid to gain your fearful submission. They use fear to paralyze you. Exodus twenty eighteen through nineteen. Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking, and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off. Then they said to Moses, You speak with us, and we will hear, but let not God speak to us, least we die. So let's see what godly fear produces, and if you start foaming at the mouth and become fearful, it is not. Not godly fear. Proverbs nine ten. The fear of the Lord is a beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy one is understanding. Psalms one hundred eleven ten. The fear of the Lord is a beginning of wisdom, a good understanding have all those who do his commandments. His praise endures forever. So what is the difference between the fear of the Lord and the spirit of fear used by the devil or aliens? In biblical wisdom literature, fear generally means a deep reverence, awe, and respect for God's holiness and power rather than being afraid of him. It represents a starting point for recognizing God's authority and gaining true moral insight. You see, the fruit is different. On the one hand it brings wisdom, a healthy compulsion to listen and to do his commandments, a reverence of God, an awe of who God is, a deep respect for who he is, an understanding of his holiness and power, and an understanding of his authority and morality. And as well, we gain a true moral insight of ourselves. The fruit of alien or demonic fear brings or produces the following fruit tears, unbelief, deafness and dumbness, noise, convulsions, and death, just to name a few things. Read the following scriptures for additional support Mark nine, fourteen through twenty nine, John ten, Mark four, thirty five through forty one, Luke four, thirty nine, John eight, forty four, Revelation nine, eleven, first Peter five eight, Matthew four, twenty-four, and chapter eight, verse sixteen through seventeen, Luke six, eighteen, and chapter thirteen, eleven through thirteen. Not the fruit of God nor the Holy Spirit, right? Galatians five twenty two through twenty three. Of the two characters that were abducted as children by aliens, as they grew up, they eventually began to operate in the realm of knowledge and the supernatural. The male actor portrayed one who had the ability to understand numbers, which he converted from the English language and vice versa. This technique has been and is used by the Hebrews today. You can type in the following question to gain a better understanding of this technique. Where does it state that the Hebrew alphabet is represented by numbers as well? The female actor was given the ability to know a person instantaneously by looking in their eyes. The devil, that is aliens, are not all knowing. Only God is omnipotent, all knowing, and can see what is in the human heart. Created being, Satan is a fallen angel, and he lacks divine attributes like omnipresence, being everywhere, omniscience. Scripture, the Bible contains no verses stating that the devil or demons know personal thoughts. So how does the devil influence you? Observation. The devil and his demons have studied human behavior for thousands of years. They watch your actions, facial expressions, and body language to make smart guesses, and I would say they also listen to what comes out of your mouth. Planting ideas, while he cannot read your private thoughts, the devil can inject temptations, doubts, or negative suggestions into your mind. This is why in Corinthian it says to take every thought captive, and in Romans it says to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. Spiritual warfare, having an evil or intrusive thought is not the same as a devil reading your mind. These thoughts are external suggestions that you can choose to reject. Those who practice witchcraft sorcery, a variety of magics, palm reading, crystal ball reading, tarot card reading, holding seances, and similar are at times demonically empowered, but still lack the ability to just all of a sudden know you. Even if you are possessed, I am inclined to believe that demons cannot fully access your mind or memories. The other thing to be aware of is the fact that this gift from God initially is listed in the Bible as a word of knowledge. Satan doesn't create, he counterfeits. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same spirit. William Brandon was famous for operating in this gift so precisely, but even when you read his account of flowing in that gift, it was in bits and pieces. Satan himself is a counterfeiter. The Bible doesn't state he was a counterfeiter directly, but it describes Satan as a deceiver who mimics God's truth, power, and authority. The concept of the devil as a counterfeiter comes from several passages about how he disguises falsehood as righteousness. Second Corinthians eleven fourteen. Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. This shows his tactic of making evil or false teachings look good and holy. Second Thessalonians 2 9. The coming of the lawless one is accompanied by the working of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and false wonders, or lying wonders in other translations. Second Corinthians 11 13 15. Paul warns about counterfeit apostles and deceitful workers who copy the appearance of Christ's servants. Revelation twelve nine. Satan is described as the one who deceives the whole world. John eight forty four. Jesus calls the devil a liar and the father of lies. And you can't be a father unless you have kids. So be careful who you call your daddy. While theologians, like early church writer Augustine, who called Satan the simious D or the Ape of God, use the term counterfeit to explain his behavior. Scripture itself describes this through the language of deception, disguise, and false imitation. And lastly, number seven, the movie showed that aliens came in the costumes of animals and were friendly towards humans. The movie states that the aliens disguise themselves in this manner so that we would be less afraid to follow or approach them if indeed we actually saw them for who they really are. And yes, they would be correct in that, but I've never heard of aliens coming in the form of animals. Second Corinthians eleven, twelve through fourteen. But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we in the things of which they boast. That is the unbelievers who are trying to compare themselves to the authentically born again believers. Verse thirteen, for such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder for Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. So if the current alien narrative is the Antichrist's plans, to excuse away the rapture and to deceive many into worshiping him through those demons and costumes, it is well supported in the Bible. And it is this that you should base your opinion on. All of your opinions should be founded on what the Bible states. And yes, you can reference other historical documents as long as they don't change what the Bible states. Romans 1 24, 26, and 28. 2 Thessalonians 2, 11 through 12. For this reason, God sends them a powerful delusion, them meaning those who don't believe in God, so that they will believe the lie, and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth, which is that Jesus is the only way to get to salvation, but have delighted in wickedness. Pride is a powerful aphrodisiac. It's what dropped Satan from heaven. Let's close in prayer. May the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before your God and Father at the coming of the Lord Jesus with all his saints. Now may the God of peace, the one in whom we call wonderful counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, may He Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. To our Lord of Lords and our King of Kings, who are high and lifted up great-eyed priests, who has once and for all paid the price, that you might see and hear God, may he hear and respond to our prayers. To our God we stand in praise, he too always lives to make intercession for us, while seated at the right hand of the Father. May the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, a great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you what is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ to whom be glory forever and ever. Now to him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. To him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus, to all generations, forever and ever, amen. Well that's it for today.
