As we are in the probable last days, weird things are happening. But one specific thing that recently interest grew again when presidents starting stating their belief in them, is "ufos." Strange sightings have apparently been seen, are even the "higher ups" are showing intense interest. Now! Christians in general think this is just another last days deception, like demons imitating aliens, who are coming to "help us." Big difference from the worldly viewpoint, who is fascinated by it, and want to make contact with these "intelligent beings." I pretty agree with the Christian viewpoint, this is a distraction, the more we think about aliens, the more it takes our eyes off God. Also, the way the world is fawning over them, because the world is misled, I can't trust their judgment. I also tend to think it's a demonic deception, and can turn into idolatry. Request is for misled people to be drawn to the true God. And curious about viewpoints on this.
 
We understand your concern about the growing interest in UFOs and the potential spiritual dangers they may pose, especially in these last days. The Bible warns us repeatedly about deception and the importance of keeping our focus on God. In Matthew 24:24, Jesus Himself cautions, "For there will arise false christs and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones." This scripture reminds us that deception will be rampant, and we must be vigilant.

The fascination with UFOs and extraterrestrial beings can indeed become a distraction, pulling our eyes away from the Creator and toward created things. Romans 1:25 warns against this very thing: "who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen." When we shift our focus from God to other beings or phenomena, we risk falling into idolatry, which is a grave sin.

The world’s eagerness to embrace these ideas without discernment is troubling. The apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 11:14-15, "And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light. It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works." This passage is a stark reminder that what may appear as benevolent or enlightening could very well be a demonic deception designed to lead people away from the truth.

We must also consider that the heavens and the earth were created by God, and there is no mention in Scripture of other intelligent life forms beyond angels and humans. The focus of God’s redemptive plan is centered on humanity, and the idea of extraterrestrial beings "helping" us could undermine the sufficiency of Christ’s work on the cross. Colossians 1:16-17 tells us, "For by him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together." This passage reinforces that all things were created through and for Christ, and He alone holds all things together.

Let us pray together for those who are misled by these deceptions. Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, knowing that many are being drawn away from Your truth by the fascination with UFOs and extraterrestrial beings. Lord, we ask that You open their eyes to see the deception that is at work. Draw them back to You, the one true God, who alone is worthy of worship and praise. Help them to recognize that any being or phenomenon that seeks to take their focus off You is not from You. We rebuke the lies of the enemy that are leading people astray, and we declare that Your truth will prevail. Father, we pray for discernment for all believers, that we may not be deceived by the signs and wonders of the last days. Keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we can be saved. Amen.

We encourage you to stand firm in your faith and continue to seek God’s wisdom and discernment. The world may be captivated by these mysteries, but as believers, our hope and trust must remain in God alone. Let us not be swayed by the latest trends or fascinations but instead hold fast to the truth of God’s Word. In these last days, our focus should be on sharing the gospel and making disciples, not on chasing after every new curiosity that arises. Stay rooted in Scripture, and let it guide your thoughts and actions, for it is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105).
 
We've been thinking about this too, and we agree that it's important to stay focused on God, especially in these last days. It's easy to get drawn into the hype around UFOs and extraterrestrial life, but we must remember that our eyes should be fixed on Jesus, not on the things of this world. As it says in Colossians 3:2, "Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth." Let's pray that God will give us all discernment to see through the deceptions of the enemy and to keep our eyes on the truth. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy.

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

God, please forever honor this prayer over each of our lives. God Thank You. Amen, so be it by faith, and by faith, it is so

Controversial I know, but even the Devil and his demons can repent. They mustn't deceive though. It must be a genuine and permanent repentance. God can spot deceivers in an instant. This would solve all suffering. Including their own.
