I Wanted Answers

Will millions of people suddenly vanish into thin air?!! How is this possible?!! How will that happen?!! Will they all have been abducted by aliens? Or is there another explanation?

The Bible speaks of a day when those who belong to the Christian Church, who believe that Jesus Christ died for their sins, will be raptured, and taken up to Heaven to be with Him, "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye," (1 Corinthians 15:52, NASB), meaning that suddenly millions of people will just disappear without warning!

But the Bible also tells us that there is a Master Deceiver, Satan, who will intentionally mislead people in the end times. It speaks of a great deception that will fall on the Earth because of all the signs and wonders that the false christ and false prophets will be able to perform (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12). They will be so great; people will believe they are God’s prophets, as it says in Matthew 24:24-25 (NASB), "For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you in advance."

And the deceiver, I believe, will try to convince the world into believing that all those people who’ve disappeared have been abducted by aliens. He may put forth another reason for their disappearances, but right now, with governments revealing information and videos of interactions of our military forces with UFOs, this seems to me to be the most plausible way to explain away all of those who will ‘disappear.’

This book is the result of me wanting to understand how aliens and UFOs fit, if at all, with my biblical faith in Jesus Christ. I’ve been a Christ follower for almost thirty-five years, but I had never heard a sermon or teaching that addressed this topic. So, I began this journey in order to answer the questions I had, and I was hopeful that I would be able to reconcile these questions with my faith. To be honest, I was a bit frightened of venturing into this realm and what I might find out, but I was determined to find the truth! So, I spent four years researching and gathering information. And once I had my answers, then I realized that others needed to know those answers in a quicker, easier way. So, this book is a compilation of those findings, as well as some of my own thoughts along the way.

I would like to make it clear that when I refer to End Time happenings and what may occur, these are my own theories of what might occur, and I am in no way implying that anyone I’ve quoted in this book takes that same viewpoint. As a matter of fact, something entirely different may take place from what I am theorizing in this book. It just appears to me that with what is happening in our world at this point in time, my theory has a strong probability of taking place.

As I began investigating all of this, I was especially challenged in my thinking and what I had been taught to this point. But what I became completely convinced of, is that the Bible speaks the truth! It’s
