The Transfiguration by Peter Paul Rubens, 1605
I usually write about UFOs and aliens and the relationship of the phenomena to Bible prophecy. I came to the conclusion a long time ago, before it was popular to write about these things in the Christian prophecy community, that the coming strong delusion written about by the Apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, was intricately related to the revelation of Antichrist, and the UFO and alien phenomena.
As I did the research for my book, Alien Antichrist, I also came to realize the power and reality of spiritual warfare; because once I began to research and write the book I became aware of how real the forces of darkness can be. As I soon found out, when I began to remove the veil of darkness that serves as a cover for authentic UFO and alien phenomena, the power of prayer was the only way to walk through that valley.
I am so grateful as a Christian there is a greater authority than the powers of darkness, and that truth became even more real as time went on. It is one thing to read academically about evil, and it is another thing entirely when it manifest as a reality in front of your eyes!
The greater power is of course the presence of the Holy Spirit and the power and authority of the name of Jesus Christ. As only a man, I quickly realized that on my own I have no resources to fight and resist spiritual powers such as principalities and powers (Ephesians 6:12). The false reality they create by manipulating time, space, and matter is very powerful; but their deceptions are no match for the King of Kings.
The overcoming victory is when Jesus Christ comes into the picture: He alone makes the difference.
Philippians 2:9-11: Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Notice that Jesus has been given a name above every name. His name is higher in glory and power than any other name on planet Earth, or even to the limits of the universe! His name is so powerful that all of the beings in 3 spheres of existence related to Earth must yield to His authority.
- Things in heaven
- Things in Earth
- Things under the Earth
The things in heaven refer to the Host of Heaven, the unfallen, holy angels who serve God. Other things exist in the heavens near Earth; the outer space surrounding the planet and the atmosphere above our heads. These areas are the domain of the fallen Host of Heaven, the Dragon and his angels. Although they are very powerful, and nothing to toy with from a human standpoint, they are no match for the Lord Jesus Christ and must readily submit to the authority of His name and the power of the Holy Spirit.
The things in the Earth refer to the human inhabitants of the planet. Whether you believe it or not, each of us will face the righteous judgment of Christ. Those who are Christians will stand before the King of Kings at the Bema Seat to be judged, not for our sins (those were paid for at Calvary), but for the deeds done in the flesh, in other words, how we lived our lives in relation to the Word of God (2 Corinthians 5:10). Those who refuse salvation through Christ will still bow the knee and confess His name; they will do this at the judgment of the damned, the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15).
Things under the Earth refer to those Fallen Beings in the deep recesses of Tartarus. They were incarcerated just after the Great Flood of Noah. They are the Fallen Ones who abandoned their natural habitation (Jude 1:6), invaded the material dimension of Earth, and took (or abducted) the daughters of men; and through their sinful genetic manipulation of humanity they created the unnatural creatures called Nephilim (Genesis 6: 1-2, 4).
Christ is Exalted
The King of Kings is higher in glory, power, and authority above all of creation, in fact, He is the originator of all that does exist.
Colossians 1: 16-17: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
As the Creator He is naturally above all beings, those on Earth, and those inter-dimensional beings here called Thrones, Dominions, Principalities, and Powers. In the spiritual hierarchy these beings are very powerful, more powerful than you or I could ever imagine, but they still must yield to the authority of Jesus and the power of His wonderful name.
He is a wonderful gift for all humankind, and He shall rule the world in Righteousness, world without end!
Isaiah 9:6-7: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
His name was foreordained before the foundations of the world:
Luke 1:31: And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
Matthew 1:25b: …and he called his name JESUS.
Through the miracle of His birth He is God in human flesh:
Matthew 1:23: Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Through the power of His name salvation is wrought in the human heart:
Romans 10:9-10, 13: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
DO YOU KNOW HIM?
Have you bowed the knee to the King of Kings? Have you confessed His wonderful name? Have you prayed in His wonderful name? Have your sins been forgiven through His wonderful name?
ARE YOU READY TO MEET THE KING?
He is coming soon, He may come for you tonight!
Revelation 19:11-16: And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Eternity is a long time, spend it with Jesus!
