The UFO Phenomenon: The Next Great Challenge for the Church?
Dr. Scott Johnson
Contending for Truth

Brief Sermon Overview:
Evolutionists believe that life must have evolved elsewhere in their massive (and old) universe, and that Christians are arrogant to presume that Earth is the only place in the entire universe that contains life.
The interest in the search for extraterrestrial life is huge-mainly fueled by the enormous popularity of science fiction (’District 9′ being the latest example) and its depiction of advanced alien life on other planets. Exopolitics is the growing movement that believes humans should publicly open dialogue with extraterrestrials.
Gaven C. wrote to Gary Bates: “…just been watching the European Exopolitics 2009 in Spain on-line, Dr. Steven Greer (Of ‘The Disclosure Project’) is channeling aliens and encouraging everyone else to do so, the worrying thing is that they’re answering, and he briefs the president on such issues. I just get the feeling that there is a paradigm shift happening right now in our culture, real fast, and it’s taking the church by surprise, how this all ties in with end time prophesy I’m still processing…It certainly strikes me that if Christians aren’t really founded firm on the Word with a creation world view then they will be hoodwinked by the E.T.’s, that these entities are here to “help us up to the next rung of our “evolutionary development”, even claiming to be our creators.
Will this be the great falling away?
“Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Admiral Roscoe Henry Hillenkoetter, First director of the CIA in a signed statement to Congress, August 22, 1960.
“We find ourselves faced by powers which are far stronger than we had hitherto assumed, and whose base is at present unknown to us. More I cannot say at present. We are now engaged in entering into closer contact with those powers, and in six or nine months’ time it may be possible to speak with more precision on the matter.” The Father of Rocket Science, Wernher von Braun, in reference to the deflection of the U.S. Juno 2 rocket from its orbit
“We have, indeed, been contacted — perhaps even visited — by extraterrestrial beings, and the US government, in collusion with the other national powers of the Earth, is determined to keep this information from the general public. ” Victor Marchetti, Former Special Assistant of the CIA, “How the CIA Views the UFO Phenomenon”, Vol 1, No 7, Washington, DC, May, 1979
“The next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets.” Five Star General Douglas Macarthur, Oct. 8, 1955
