It was during the first few days of July 1947 when reports about strange flying "discs" began to flow into the United States military from in and around the regions of Roswell and nearby Pine Lodge, New Mexico. Although there seems to be much disinformation about the events, the US Army was able to track some of these objects on radar, and is said to have scrambled fighter planes to try and intercept whoever, or whatever they were. It had been two years since the surrender of Hitler's Nazi Empire, and the subsequent atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, effectively ending the Second World War. Cold War tensions were in their infant stages, but slowly gaining a foothold in the United States military and government minds. The time was ripe for the great deception to begin.

There had been large electrical storms over the southwestern desert region of the United States during that period. Nothing unusual; desert storms build during the summer and dazzle us with an awesome display of power from time to time. However, during this storm something unusual happened. Something crashed in the Foster Ranch region of Corona, New Mexico, just outside of Roswell. Within a period of 2-4 days, all of the wreckage, including the occupants (whom we will discuss later) was removed and an official disinformation campaign was launched. There are plenty of resources out there on the details of the crash, so I will not linger on them here. It is the purpose of the crash that I would like to deal with in this article. Rather, it is the exposure of an underlying agenda that we are looking at here.

So why would extraterrestrials or inter-dimensional beings allow this craft to go down and fall into the hands of a world superpower? What was accomplished by placing this unknown and mysterious equipment (and beings) into the backyard of a powerful nation on this planet? The scenario appears to be a lucky break, but in reality it is a snare. As you will see, this snare will ultimately snap taut and capture the souls of many.

With the pieces of wreckage under wraps at various military installations around the country, the intelligence wing of the government went into action. "Eyes Only" and other top-secret classifications were attached to the personnel assigned to the different aspects of the crash parts. Under the interest of national security, a select group of men and women were sworn to secrecy over the knowledge of what was held in their hands. According to some sources, even successive presidents of the United States were briefed on the find and any progress that had been made with it over the years.

In his controversial book, "The Day After Roswell", Col. Phillip J. Corso (ret) tells the story of the Roswell Incident based on all the information, photos, reports, etc. of the UFO crash. According to Colonel Corso, a small handful of items from the craft were entrusted to him while he worked for the Foreign Technology in Army Research and Development at the Pentagon in the early 1960's. He writes about the site of the crash and subsequently how the Army found five extraterrestrial beings of some kind, approximately 4 feet tall with grayish-brown skin, four-fingered hands and oversized heads. Two of which were reportedly still alive. The story is told that when one of the creatures tried to run away it was shot and killed by soldiers at the scene. Reportedly, one of the occupants was still alive, but dying, when it was transported back to the Roswell Army Air Field that night. Meanwhile, the rest of the beings and artifacts from the crash were quickly loaded up onto Army vehicles and transported to various military installations throughout the country. Col. Corso, who was the Post Duty Officer at Fort Riley, Kansas, was on duty the night a shipment of Roswell artifacts arrived from Fort Bliss on their way to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. Colonel Corso even claims that he took a peek at the shipment on that dark, quiet night in 1947, which included one of the dead extraterrestrials preserved in a thick blue liquid, presumably for preservation and further study.

It would be in the years that followed that Col. Corso became part of the cover-up. In the book he records how a box of artifacts was given to him in order to keep the program going when his superior retired. If what he said was true, and it bears noting that he never recanted his story, even to his deathbed, then the implications are simply staggering from a spiritual point of view. According to Col. Corso, it was through the Army's secret reverse-engineering project that the technology retrieved from the crash site was "seeded" into large, government contractor corporations such as IBM, Hughes Aircraft, Livermore-Bell Labs, and Dow Corning, without their knowledge of the specific origins of course. The goal being for the top science and engineering laboratories to figure out how the devices functioned and then to reproduce the items they had been given for military use. As you will see, the fact that everything gleaned from the crash was ultimately turned into military use is the key element here.

Col. Corso records how the devices found aboard the Roswell craft ultimately became the common items of today in the form of integrated circuit chips (the current computer explosion), fiber optics (global telecommunications), lasers (medical and weapons technology), night-vision technology (the craft was said to have been outfitted with portholes made from it, presumably for stealth viewing while flying at night), super-tenacity fibers (such as Kevlar). In addition to these items, he also wrote about other classified items such as psychotronic devices that can translate human thought into a signal to control machines and weaponry, Stealth technology, and even the famed Star Wars particle-beam devices. Perhaps most chilling of all is the possible role that this supposed alien technology played in shaping the geopolitical climate upon our little planet over the last fifty years. It is here that we must stop and seriously consider the motives of the enemy in 'allowing' this technology to fall into the hands of men. The book even discusses the link between Nazi Germany and the same extraterrestrial entities providing the advanced technology towards the end of the war that quite possibly could have turned the tide in their favor.
If you are like most people, you can sense that something is just not right in the world today. Perhaps you see God's glory in a sunset over the ocean, or a snowcapped mountain range, as well you should, but overall you cannot shake the foreboding feeling that the darkness of the night is falling fast. On the other hand, if you have taken a proverbial Prophecy 101 class then you probably know exactly what is happening in our world today. You know that Satan has a specific plan that he is working to bring about in these last days. This should be a fresh insight for you as to the plans of the devil, and where to see them coming together. However, if you are not in this group, then consider this your school bell ringing, announcing that Prophecy 101 is underway.

In his letter to the fledgling church at Ephesus, the apostle Paul gives explicit instructions regarding the daily warfare that Christians face. Under inspiration of the Holy Spirit he paints for us perhaps one of the clearest pictures in God's word concerning the spiritual realm, specifically the war room of Satan himself. Let's take a look at the passage.

Ephesians 6:10-12
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
11Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

When combined with other key passages in Scripture, it becomes even clearer that our adversary, the devil, is indeed a most cunning opponent. However, I am not here to lift him up, but rather to expose his evil plans to those who do not quite understand the "wiles of the devil". Sadly, while the world seems to go on day-by-day eating, drinking, and marrying, etc., most of its inhabitants are largely unaware of the great snare that has been set for them. One day, I believe soon, without warning the trap will be sprung on this unsuspecting world and according to the words of Jesus Christ our Lord, "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be." (Matthew 24:21)

Contrary to popular belief, Satan is not standing at the "Brimstone Gates" checking in souls going to Hell and assigning eternal methods of punishment. Nor is he running around with a pitchfork and long tail striking up deals for the souls of rock stars or athletes in exchange for fame and glory. Certainly not! The devil, or Lucifer as he has come to be known, is a powerful spiritual being created by God, and yes God created him. Do not be confused by his power and place him as the antithesis of God, for he is still a created being and, therefore, not equal with God. The Bible informs us that when Satan fell others rebelled with him. By all accounts it looks as though they have been very busy putting their plan together to deceive the sons of men.

The Bible records for us that Satan has access to the throne of God and it appears that he periodically goes before Him to discuss his plans, and to accuse the brethren as well. It was in one of these sessions that I believe Satan received word from God that he had come to his final hour. Much like Jesus' words to Judas on the night He was betrayed, perhaps God leaned forward on His throne and spoke to Satan saying, "What you do, do quickly." (John 13:27). It is at that point that Satan notified all his forces that the great end-time deception was to begin. No doubt the halls of Heaven echoed with the words of Revelation 12:12…

"Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."

Having laid the foundations of anti-Semitism and replacement theology around the fourth century AD, the initial phase of Satan's plan was well underway going into the nineteenth century. With the emergence of just about all of the major pseudo-Christian groups in the mid-1800's (Mormonism, Watchtower Society, Christian Science, et al) and subsequently the so-called New Age movement 'mothered' by Madame Helena Blavatsky, and in turn passed down to her successor Alice Bailey of "Lucis Trust" fame, Satan's plan was nearing completion. The systematic tearing down of the absolute truth of the Word of God had done its work throughout the centuries and the thread of hatred towards the Jewish people seemed to have also achieved its goal with Hitler's "Final Solution". If there was to be no absolute truth among the human race, and God's chosen people, the Jews, did not appear "chosen" anymore, then there was one thing missing to make it all complete. The events at Roswell, I believe, were commencement of the greatest deception of all. The time had come to shake the foundations of the heavens, and in turn the foundations of man's belief in God, and introduce the most sinister part of his plan to destroy the sons of men.

It was during the 1960's that some definitive changes were instituted in regards to the dissemination of the technology gleaned from the Roswell crash. It is no wonder that during Satan's right flank assault on society with Rock-n-Roll, the sexual revolution and the explosion of the drug culture, the left flank, although a covert operation, was also being ordered into action. You see, military minds think like military minds. Logically, the "occupants" of this craft were from somewhere, on some kind of reconnaissance mission of Earth. It seems as though our government was not so convinced that the intent of these beings was that of peace and goodwill towards mankind. In fact, hostile intentions have always been the sneaking suspicion of those involved in the cover-up of the Roswell incident.

The events of Roswell and subsequent dissemination of technology is not unheard of in ancient texts, nor is it void from Scripture. The Bible gives us a good picture of the spiritual realm and the events of the past that shaped our world today. Outside of the Bible there other books that, although not considered inspired, can give us a historical perspective on the past. The book of Enoch for instance, while controversial in our day, yet directly quoted by the brother of Jesus, gives us an even clearer description of the early days of mankind and the interaction between men and angels. It amazes me how many teachers go to great lengths to cover up the text of passages like Genesis 6:1-4 and Jude 6-7. Regardless of your bias or not, something happened before the great flood between fallen angels and mankind. The text is quite clear and no amount of bending the Scriptures will change the story. While not inspired per se, the simple fact that there are other books that record these events for us cannot be overlooked. Why rely on the works of Josephus to understand the events of early Jewish history and the destruction of the Temple by the Romans in 70AD, calling it sound historical record, yet deny the quotes and commentary regarding the Book of Enoch, or Talmudic traditions all because they do not fit your dogma?

According to Genesis 6, the "sons of God", or the "B'nai-Elohim", are the angels that sinned. The term "the sons of God" appears five times in the Old Testament, each time clearly referring to angels (Genesis 6:2, 6:4, Job 1:6, 2:1 and 38:7). I will let you run those down yourselves, but let me just say that the meaning is clear on who the sons of God are. The strange events recorded in Genesis 6 were clearly understood by the ancient rabbinical sources, as well as the Septuagint translators, as referring to fallen angels. They were engaged in creating angel-human hybrid offspring known as the "Nephalim." Even the word used in Genesis 6 for "took [wives]" means "capture, seize, to be taken away, be removed, to be taken out of", which is eerily similar to the abduction phenomenon of our time. Sexual acts and experimentation are also commonly reported among abductees. These bizarre events are also echoed in the legends and myths of every ancient culture upon the earth: the ancient Greeks, the Egyptians, the Hindus, the South Sea Islanders, the American Indians, and virtually all the others. Even the early church fathers wrote and believed this doctrine.

Although the Book of Enoch was apparently at one time recognized as a valid piece of the Hebrew (i.e. Judeo-Christian) belief systems and, as I mentioned before, although it was directly quoted from in the New Testament epistle of Jude, the Council of Nicene voted to exclude it from the canon in 325 AD. According to the Book of Enoch, a certain class of angels, called the Watchers, was entrusted by God with the instruction of men in the making of tools, medicine, fire, etc. However, it was after the fall that their wickedness soon progressed into teaching man how to murder and fashion tools of death and war. As their rebellion grew stronger, subsequently all manner of occult activity and practice was presented to men under the guise of "Hidden Knowledge", which by the way, has clearly risen again in our society today. At this point you may be asking, "So how does this all relate to Roswell and alien technology in our generation today?" I believe that I may just have an answer for you.

Go back to Genesis 6 and the book of Enoch for a moment. Did you notice what these fallen angels did when they came down to Earth to intervene in the affairs of mankind? In addition to corrupting all that God had created for good, they instructed man in the art of war and death. This is most provocative when placed side-by-side with the events following the Roswell incident. If these fallen angels, and I personally believe they are the same core group, have essentially brought technology to man in the past, no matter how crude it may have been back then, it seems very likely that they have simply done it again. This time under the authority of Satan, who has been given the time to run out his plan against God and the nations. No doubt they have had some 4,000 years to wait for man to advance in knowledge so that they could pull it off. I believe that II Thessalonians 2 refers to the restraining influence of the Holy Spirit that holds the full force of evil back. If indeed that the appointed time has come, and is nearing a point of fullness, then it is not hard to understand what is really happening in the spiritual realm today.

The intent of this crash becomes quite clear. The technology that has come from its wreckage (integrated circuit chips, fiber optics, lasers, night-vision technology, super-tenacity fibers, psychotronic devices, Stealth technology and particle-beam devices) all have one thing in common. All of these items were first created and used for military use. Then throughout the years these military applications were slowly disseminated to other countries as rewards for those willing to sign so-called peace treaties with the United Nations, Great Britain, the United States, as well as various other so-called free nations. Once the kings of the earth, so to speak, were armed to the teeth with this technology, then it began to filter down into civilian use for medical and business use. So how does this hurt mankind one may ask? Look at all the good that has come from this technology, if in fact it came from these fallen angels. While I believe that God has allowed it and directed the hearts of good men to use this technology for his glory (I am using a computer to research and write this article right now), the ultimate aim of Satan is not so good. So how does Roswell lead to Armageddon? Let's take a look and "The End" according to the Word of God.

The Bible presents a clear picture of the times and seasons that would mark the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of the events that would lead up to the end. Although a bit harder to understand, the book of Revelation chronicles the events and most importantly, it details the major players involved. While some have dismissed the prophecy as already being fulfilled, or perhaps totally symbolic or allegorical in nature, the fact that you can read the book of Revelation in one hand with the Sunday paper in the other is rather exciting. If in fact the deception planned by Satan includes, if not totally encompasses, some sort of extraterrestrial contact, then you would expect to see it in the Scriptures. I think that we can.

In addition to the many passages in the Old Testament describing the Man of Sin as a mysterious, dark individual, the New Testament seems to indicate that his powers will not only be extraordinary, but they will deceive the "whole world" (II Thessalonians 2:8-10, Revelation 13:3-8). With the help of the even more sinister "False Prophet", the fireworks really begin, literally (Revelation 13:11-18). Needless to say, some very strange and disastrous events will take place when these two enter the scene. As we have already seen, Satan is already marked as the one behind it all, but take a look at Revelation 16 for a moment. Chosen as a witness to the judgments coming from God Almighty upon the earth, the Apostle John is given a behind the scenes vision of the entities behind the deception of mankind during the final days.

12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

Admittedly, there is a lot of background that has taken place up and until this point in the Great Tribulation. I encourage you to study up on the major prophecies surrounding this terrible day. During the preceding judgments, many demonic forces had been released and have even physically tormented those who have rejected Jesus Christ. Here we see three specific identities that emerge-- Satan, the Antichrist and his cohort, the False Prophet. Since we know that the battle is with forces of darkness, that is not the reason why this passage is important. It is what they do, or have done, that makes them unique. These three are specifically given the task of going throughout the whole earth and gathering the leaders of the nations for battle against God. The name of the place they are gathered to is "Armageddon."

What I find interesting is that the word for "demons" in verse fourteen had a very different meaning by the Greeks when it was originally coined. We always read it as "evil or demonic spirits." However, according to Strong's Concordance and Thayer's Greek Lexicon, the original word meant, "a god, or a goddess". This is fascinating because the underlying theme within the New Age and UFO circles is that these beings are in fact "gods" of some kind. Whether they are gods, or they teach us that we are gods, the message is always the same; Jesus Christ is just one of many, there is no need for salvation or repentance, there are many roads, etc., etc. Genesis 6 echoes down through civilizations in the form of gods coming down and taking women for wives and displaying wonders in the skies. It is quite possible that three specific creatures, which John reports as resembling frogs, are in fact the same entities that many see today during the numerous sightings of UFO's and their occupants. Incidentally, the word John uses is found only once in the whole Bible, and is oddly enough very hard to find an exact translation, or derivation. Perhaps God has sealed this particular aspect of the prophecy a while longer…

Can you see the connection between Roswell and Armageddon now? While though there is some mystery surrounding the events of Roswell; if what was gleaned from the crash site has in fact spawned all of the major military technology we have today, then humanity is headed for trouble not seen since the days of Noah. The forces of evil have a job to do and I believe that they are very busy doing it today. In chapter 36 of the Old Testament book of Daniel, it tells us that the Antichrist will not only worship military power and forsake the God of his fathers, he will magnify himself above all that is even called God (Daniel 36:36-39). Strangely, in verse 39 we read something quite interesting…
"Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge [and] increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain."

Considering the fact that Daniel was in Babylon when he received this prophecy, a land already entrenched in the worship of gods other than the God of Israel, and this strange god did not appear to be any of those recognized during his day, the prophecy might point to something far greater than we can know. Of course only time will tell. I have always maintained that people tend to make light the events of the Great Tribulation. When the appointed time finally begins it will not be a glorious time of revival, as some put it. When the powers of heaven are shaken and the full force of Satan and his comrades-in-arms are allowed to run out their course upon the earth, not sparing many lives I might add, the deception will be at its highest level. It is certainly getting bad today, but nothing like it is going to be. In order to deceive mankind to the fullest, the Devil must undermine the belief system of the world today. In this post-Christian era that we live in, it is clear that he is close to achieving his goal.

So where does this leave us today? Prophecy is God's stamp of authenticity upon His Word. The Bible clearly records for us the events of the Last Days not so we can preach a message of doom and gloom. On the contrary, the Bible tells us that when these events begin to unfold that many would be wise in knowing the times and seasons and rise up to instruct those who are lost in the storm. (Daniel 11:33,12:3, I Thess.5:1) We must never forget that our adversary is a cunning opponent, but the battle has already been won. In our opening verse the Apostle Paul informed us of the spiritual hosts that we are up against, however he does not leave us without instructions for combat. In the remaining verses Paul gives us the soldier's manual for us to refer to before we step into the fight.

13Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
18praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints…

We have traveled to some interesting places in this article. To some it has been an eye-opener, while to others it may have been uncomfortable. The fact is, while we know that Jesus is coming soon, we cannot be absolutely sure how far the deception will progress before He takes his followers out of this deceived world. Whatever the case may be, let us not forget the essentials of our faith. Though the forces of darkness have secured a strong foothold in their war against heaven, Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. There is no salvation in any other name, but the name of Jesus Christ. His death and resurrection means eternal life for all those who believe and abide in Him. This is the good news! If any person, angel or extraterrestrial preaches any other gospel, let him be accursed. Do not be deceived by the ever-increasing apostasy of our world today. The Bible has an answer for every false doctrine and we only need to open it up and allow the Holy Spirit to teach us Truth. Most importantly, when those who are being tossed about in the wind come to us for help, we must be ready with an answer for the hope that lies within us.
