What are these alien beings which take it upon themselves to live in a human body? It is remarkable that the Bible says more about alien entities than it does about angels-heaven’s ambassadors.
There are more than 300 references to these alien entities in God’s Word, some of them taking a page to describe. If heaven takes that much notice of them, then we had better take notice, too.
Are these alien entities real?
In Revelation 12:7-9 we find these words:
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his
angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels.
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
In heaven there were three archangels. There was Michael, the archangel who cares for the military matters of God, the fighting angel. Gabriel was the telecommunication angel who carried messages.
Whenever anyone in the Bible received a message from God, it was always Gabriel who brought it.
Then there was Lucifer, who led the choir, praise, and worship in heaven. There were three mighty contingencies of angels, each of which could have numbered a hundred million, because heaven is so great.
The leader of this third group of angels, Lucifer (or Satan), led a rebellion against God. He and his followers were defeated and cast out of heaven. This explains the origin of alien entities and their entrance into this earthly realm.
The devil is alien to the earth. He doesn’t belong here. The world is not his home, it doesn’t belong to him. The Bible says that everything God made on this earth belongs to man. Satan is an intruder, not a resident. He has no right to be here, and we have no obligation to grant him entry.
We are to cast him out, to send him back to the void of space, off the planet earth.
The Bible says that the devil, day and night, accuses us before God, just as he did in the book of Job.
Verses 11 and 12 of Revelation 12 say:
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 2:18:
Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
Evidently Paul believed that Satan was real, and that he worked to hinder God’s people from accomplishing His will on earth.
Peter tells us:
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour (1 Pet. 5:8).
With that amount of truth, we know how to come against our adversary, how to destroy him by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Verse 9 of that same chapter says:
Whom resist steadfast in the faith….
There is the way to defeat Satan right there: Resist him in the faith-not with your brain, not with your brawn. You resist Satan in your faith, steadfastly.
Not only are alien entities real, but they have their own doctrines which they preach. One is that homosexuality is good. Another is that abortion, the murder of a millions of innocent babies a year, is all right. There are many others. We don’t believe one of them.
First Timothy 4:1 states:
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.
The biggest lie the devil has ever created and foisted on to mankind is that God’s Word is not true, that we should not believe it.
Every doctrine of Satan is a corruption of divine truth.
Another fact about alien entities is that they wish to communicate with humans.
In 1 Corinthians 10:20 the Apostle Paul wrote:
But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils,
and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
Paul says the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God.
And I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils (1 Cor. 10:20).
Then in verse 21 he warns:
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.
An alien entity is a foreign spirit which comes to possess a human. It occupies no physical space in a human, yet controls many of the activities of such a person.
Alien entities are malign. They are basically evil, being Lucifer’s agents.
They destroy the normal functions of a human in society.
These alien entities are fallen angels from heaven, now called demons. Since they are under the leadership of Satan, their master, they hate God because of the loss of their positions in heaven. Not being able to reach God to do battle with Him, they seek to destroy God’s creation. The chief object of their hatred is man.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Revelation 12:9,10
As this passage points out, if these demons accuse God, they are certainly going to accuse us day and night. Many things’ people say about us come from the devil.
That is why we must be careful how we speak about others. When you start accusing someone else, you might be letting the devil talk through your lips.
It is better to leave other people alone and do only what God would have you to do. Leave the judging to Him.
I don’t have time in my life to speak against what anybody else is doing. It’s none of my business. I just want to talk about what Jesus, the Lord, is doing, and what I’m going to help the Lord do.
Alien entities have many names. I think it would be good for us to look at some of them. In the Bible Satan is referred to as:
A. Lucifer. Isaiah 14:12.
B. Devil. Revelation 12:9.
C. Beelzebub. Matthew 10:25.
D. Belial. 2 Corinthians 6:15.
E. Adversary. 1 Peter 5:8.
F. Dragon. Revelation 12:3.
G. Serpent. 2 Corinthians 11:3.
H. God of this world. 2 Corinthians 4:4.
J. Prince of the power of the air. Ephesians 2:2.
K. Wicked one. Matthew 13:19.
When we understand some of these names, we understand something of the nature and character of our enemy. His names describe what he is and what he does to humanbeings.
As we study them, we need to identify him. Unless you can identify your enemy, you will never win a battle. You need to know who you are fighting, and that you have power and authority over him.
