A (30:31)
All right, so the question is, are they just demons? Well, what does the Bible teach about non human intelligence? Okay, nhi, which is again a phrase when you look at this, it's a little bit busy, but the Bible talks about all kinds of non human intelligence beings, intelligent beings, angels, archangels, cherubim, seraphim, living creatures, watchers, the heavenly host. You got nephilim, rephaim, you got demons, unclean spirits, certainly the dragons, serpents, behemoths, leviathans. We got all kinds of other beings that the Bible talks about. Remember this verse, right? The secret things belong to the Lord our God. Okay, now what does spiritual mean? Oftentimes we'll say, well, an angel is a spirit being or that's the spiritual realm or whatever. And it's interesting that when you start asking or looking for some specificity here, it's a little difficult. Is an angel physical? Is an angel spiritual? Is an angel simply something interdimensional? Are these craft interdimensional? Those are all going to be the phrases that you see getting thrown around. Now here's the question. Is it all just demons? Well, what is a demon? A disembodied spirit. So can you pick up a disembodied spirit on radar? No. And it's interesting if you go back 30 years ago, you know, you see lights in the sky or Orbs that you see orbs a lot within Ufology, I have no problem thinking that if you have a light in the sky or a demon can. Can cause issues or, you know, cause other things. But the fact of the matter, you don't pick up a demon on a radar. So what I'm saying is that what they're saying is, hey, there was these religious extremists that were telling us, don't look into that they're just a bunch of demons. Well, I look at that and say, well, that's ridiculous because they're. Obviously there's craft here. It's not just a demon. Now let's be again, specific. That doesn't mean that they're not. See, when we say demonic. Demonic, we use very non. Precisely. If I say something like, if I say Khomeini who just got killed, he was demonic, what I'm really saying is that he's evil. So if we want to say that something is evil, that's fine. But something could be evil and not necessarily be related to an actual demon. Okay, that's important. And so what you do see in the entire UFO phenomenon is something that looks very evil. It looks very evil. It's got secrecy to it, it's got other things. We'll talk a little bit more about that. But simply, what I'm saying is simply just to throw a label on it, that it's a bunch of demons. That's lazy. That's extremely lazy. And I don't think that we should say that. Okay, well, what else do we know about demons? Demons are disembodied. They seek to indwell humans. This is Luke, chapter eight. It says, for he had commanded, Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man for many a time and had seized him, he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert. The key thing here is synonymously unclean spirit and demon are used the same. It's talking about the same entity here that was looking to be looking to indwell a human body or what do we know in the Bible? Because again, the Bible is our source. Well, they have no physical body and they seek to indwell others. And there's evidence of indwelling humans and pigs and the rest of it, we don't know. Is there any evidence of demons, indwelling technology or inanimate objects in the Bible? No. This is why people say, you know, don't use AI. It's got a Demon in it. Well, I don't. I reject that. I'm not saying it can't be used for evil because certainly anything can be used for evil. AI or the Internet or whatever money. But we don't see any evidence of demons automatically indwelling inanimate objects like AI as an example. Okay, now let's go back to Jesus again. Jesus gives us some very interesting theology. This was right after he's resurrected. So Jesus, was Jesus resurrected physically? Yes, 100%. Okay. It says now, as they said these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them and said to them, peace to you. But they were terrified and frightened and supposed they had seen a spirit or a pneuma. They, in Greek, he said to them, why are you troubled? Why do you. Why do doubts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet. That it is I myself handle me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have. When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. Okay? So here he is, he's showing this hand, his feet. He's like, listen, I'm not a spirit. I'm not Casper the ghost, okay? I'm really, really here. But while they still got to believe for joy and marveled, he said to them, have you any food here? So here's the thing. So Jesus is trying to convince them that he's not a spirit, a non physical being. And how does he prove it? All right, do you have any food? Can somebody give me a donut or something here, Let me eat something to show you that I'm not Casper the ghost and I'm actually physical. Okay? So they gave him a piece of broiled fish and some honeycomb, and. And he took it and he ate it in their presence. Okay, so what Jesus is telling us here is the theology of physicality at least involves eating food. So demons aren't eating food, okay? They're. They're. They're immaterial. They are a spirit being. Okay, but here's the question. What about angels? Well, let's talk about angels for a minute. If you're just a mere spirit, like a demon, you don't eat food. Well, in Genesis 19, we know the story. Two angels came to Sodom in the evening while Lot was sitting in the city's gateway. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them, bowed down with his face toward the ground, Verse three. But he pressed him strongly. So they turned aside to him and entered his house. And he made them a feast and baked unleavened bread and they ate. Now that's interesting. We know in Genesis 18, the previous chapter, they ate with Abraham. Also these guys are eating every time they show up it seems, especially these two. And Psalm 78, I know it's a poetry, but it talks about angels food there, which I think is very interesting. Okay, but here's the thing. Angels are not demons, okay? Angels aren't demons and fallen angels are not demons. There is a very specific distinction in the Bible. Now let's also talk about another guy that shows up a non human intelligence, Satan. Now is Satan a spirit being or is he physical being? I would agree with. Okay, he's not just a mere spirit. But here's think about this. What do we see him doing? Well In Exodus chapter 7, He, Moses shows up to the, basically to Pharaoh. And he's basically Moses is pulling out the power card here I'm here on the command of Yahweh and Pharaoh says, who's Yahweh that I need to obey him? He says, well you're going to find out who Yahweh is, okay? And so what Moses does is he throws down his wooden staff, right? Throws it to the ground and what, it becomes a, it becomes a snake? Well the, the priests of, of Pharaoh are like big deal, big deal. Oh, you do a little, little trick here. They take their wooden staff, they throw it down, it becomes a snake. Is that real? Do we believe the story? I do. So it's interesting that where's he getting the power from the occultist priests? Well, they're getting it from Satan, no doubt. But my point in bringing this up is Satan has real power to take a chair potentially and morph it into something that is moving around and has life to it. Now obviously God is the ultimate power, but God has allowed these certain things. But we know what happens. Moses snake eats their snake. So God's superior, okay? But it gives us a lesson though that Satan is able to manipulate non physical matter into physical living matter somehow. To me, I just think that's interesting. Which creates a lot of opportunity for deception. Not that it's not real, but he has real power. We know in the book of Job that God allowed Satan to not touch Job. So what does Satan do? He goes out, he causes, he brings lightning down, he manipulates the weather and it causes a whole bunch of trouble. And unfortunately it kills all of his children. And then what do we see in chapter two, God says to Satan, okay, I'll let you touch Job, but you can't take his life. And what does Satan do? He goes and he somehow manipulates Job's body and, and creates boils or ulcers on his body. How does he do that? This isn't just tricks. This is real physical manipulation. So that tells us that there's two things that I learned from this. The least is that our enemy is extremely powerful in ways that we don't always fully realize. But secondly, he's on a leash. Luke 22. Remember when Satan asked for Peter and Jesus says, Satan has asked for you and I prayed for you so he can't touch us. But here's the point. If God let him off a leash, he would seek to do this to anybody and everybody. He has real power to cause pain and harm to anybody, including unbelievers. And even there, this is where you go to an unbeliever. You go, you know, Satan doesn't love you. If he could, he would manipulate you right now and he would torture you and all this other stuff. He would cause you harm. But, but God in his grace, even though you've rejected him, is still preventing Satan to do that to you. That's true grace from God. We, we know in the book of Revelation during the tribulation period as well that there's going to be real miracles. The, the, the seven year tribulation, that veil between the supernatural and what we see now is going to be 100% removed. I mean, there's angels flying around preaching the gospel, there's all these things, there's miracles being done. We know in Revelation 13 that the false prophet calls down fire from heaven, just like we see in the book of Job. We know as well that second Thessalonians says Satan comes with all power. Think about that phrase. I thought God's the only one with all power. Well, that is true. But Satan comes with all power and signs and deceiving wonders during this time. And what we're doing is we're entering this age of, of deception. So we also know Luke 4, that Satan, when he was tempting Jesus, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. Is it. Did he have a PowerPoint show? You know, I mean, exactly how he did it? We don't know. We just know that, that he did. Now, next question. I hope I'm just, My brain likes to think through some of these things and ask just questions. How do angels fight? Is it kinetic? Is it, is it physical? We know in Revelation, chapter 12, a war rose in heaven. Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels Fought back, but he was defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent who is called the devil, and his angels were thrown down with him. What this shows us is that Satan was thrown down to earth, which is a physical location. Heaven is a physical location. It's not just some ethereal Casper the ghost mentality. It's a physical place where Satan was thrown down and he no longer has access to that. So again, it brings back into this idea of things that are physical. Again, this is really fun. In Daniel, chapter 10, this angel is speaking to Daniel. He says. Then he said to me, fear not Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard. And I have come because of your words. The prince of Persia was opposing me 21 days. But Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia. What he's saying is, hey, Daniel, man, I got the dispatch three weeks ago from heaven, but I couldn't get here because I had some interference. I had to get Michael to come help me. So what that tells us is, okay, let's just put it in interdimensional, whatever that means, or spiritual. Why doesn't this angel just poof out of heaven, make his way over here? Poof. And it appears in front of Daniel. That's not what happens. He actually has to translocate to get there. The point being is that it seems to be very clear that angels have some physicality to them. And they're not just these spirit beings that are like Casper the ghost. And then he says, hey, I got to go back and fight again. One more passage for us here, which is another well known passage. This is in Second Kings, chapter 6, where Elisha the prophet is sitting there with his servant and the. The army of Syria is camped outside now. So what you're going to see here is something very interesting. Okay, you see it in English, it's there in Hebrew. But. But the servant comes out and he sees the Assyrian human army there. He goes to Elisha and says, master, we're basically, we're in trouble. And Elisha responds, do not be afraid. Now, he's going to list four groups of people here that's very important for those. There's a group, those who are with us, okay, that's two are more than those who are with them. So you have two. You have two human groups. You have the Syrian army against Elisha and Then you have the chariots of fire, who are with Elisha, the spiritual good army, if you want to say spiritual, with another group that is with the evil army. So now you have again, two groups of non human beings squaring off in, in support of their own respective people. And Elijah said, O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see. So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elijah. Now the question is, were these hosts of heaven, were they real? Of course they're real. Were they spiritual? What does that mean? But what we do know is this. We know that again, even in astrophotography, we see the, the visible spectrum of light is 400 to 750 nanometers. So this is it. You got this. But we know that you can have an infrared camera. In fact, I was out last night. We have an infrared camera. And I was out in the backyard and I heard some rustling in the bushes. I was like, okay, get a little nervous, right? So I'm like, I'm gonna get the infrared camera. So, so I went and got the infrared camera completely pitch black. I go out there with the infrared camera and I was like, oh, it's two little bunnies. I got freaked out over two little bunnies that were there, but I could see the bunnies. But even though it's black because it was picking up infrared. Now does that mean that's not physical? See, what Elisha did is he allowed God. He prayed and God allowed him to expand his horizon, to see something that was physical there, but yet his eyes didn't pick it up. So in the same way, what I do think is that angels have the ability to cloak themselves, whatever that looks like, but they're still physical. Okay, so what about an objection? Well, angels are spirits. Doesn't Hebrews one. I love objections. Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation? There it is. Angels are spirits. Well, in First Corinthians 15, which is the resurrection chapter, thus it is written, the first man became a living Adam became a living being. The last Adam became a life giving spirit. Jesus is called a spirit. And the whole chapter is about physical resurrection. So just because you're called a spirit doesn't mean that you are not physical. So, all right, let's, let's begin to wrap it up here. Interestingly, remember the AATIP program? They came up with a report and that was exposed in 2017 by the new York Times and that, hey, there's this AATIP report. So the sun, which is a UK magazine, they were like, they put in a FOIA request, a Freedom of Information act request. And it took four years for them to get this request back. But they were looking for all the information. So basically they said AATIP did all this investigation on UFOs and stuff. We want to know what's in it because it's public. And so they got it. And what they did is one of the reports was this one, the anomalous acute and subacute field effects on human biological tissues. And what it showed was a couple things that when people. Biological effects of human account of UFO encounters. When people were near a ufo, they got radiation burns, they got nerve or brain damage, they got severe headaches, they got heart palpitations. Those are all physical things. So again, we're dealing. We're not just dealing with demons here. We're dealing with something that is very physical. Okay, mufon, part of this same thing. Abductions, paralysis, telepathy, teleportation, levitation and unaccounted for pregnancy. Now that should immediately, especially this crowd. Okay, does that not bring up like Genesis 6 kind of stuff? See, this is the interesting thing here. These aren't just demonic things. These are serious situations where again, people are getting, for example, abducted. And that whole phenomenon, it's interesting if you look at the stats, it was basically about 15 to 20 million Americans claimed to have been abducted. That's a lot. What does it all mean? Okay, well, these guys, this isn't, again, this is not tinfoil hat stuff anymore. These are PhDs, Harvard, others that have been researching the UFO phenomena for a long time. Not everybody that claims to be abducted is abducted. But what I'm saying is that something is happening where people are being physically abducted against their will. Well, that's obviously evil. And it began a long time ago. And in the midst of that, the question always was, what are they doing with these people? Well, a lot of them, the claim is that they are being impregnated and then three months later the baby is taken. And so somehow there's this breeding program. It's really kind of strange if you get into it. The other thing too, LA talks about this all the time. I won't get into all of it, but just you see, cattle mutilations, it's interesting to me. These are all physical things. And in fact, cattle mutilations say, come on, seriously, we're talking about this on a Sunday morning. Well, that's not really wasn't really my goal. Had a short time. Okay, okay. So this is the presentation that we get. All right? But the fact is this is real. And as a Christian, I would like to have at least some sort of. Of understanding. This was so serious of a thing, tens of thousands of cattle mutilations where these cows are taken and then they're dropped and there's all this, all the blood is removed. And the FBI investigated this starting in the 1980s, and it's still going on today. And it's associated with UFOs. So all I'm saying in all of this is now this could be a whole presentation in itself is that what do we see happening? We see UFO phenomenon abducting people, burning people, taking blood, and creating what many people think is a breeding program. For what reason? Not sure exactly. So I'll give you another example. We know or we see, they're talking about human biologics, right? Where did those bodies come from? I think it could be something to do with this. So, and here's the point. In Genesis 6, we know that fallen angels were involved in obviously mating with human women and producing nephilim. So we know that there was genetic modification happening, no doubt. And so the question is that in the current age, they are doing the same thing and. And creating these hybrid type beings, these gray beings, these, you know, the typical gray with the big eyes. And the people who are abducted. Describe these. I have a friend who's an investigator, and she said, mondo, I'm telling you, I've seen one myself, personally. What is that? As a Christian? Well, all I know is I'm not worried. I'm not worried about it in the sense of personally, because we have the Lord's protection. But the fact of the matter is, this is part of the narrative that is coming, that these guys are potentially our saviors. So fallen angels and spirits are physical. They have nuts and bolts, technology. So Genesis 6, like manipulation. Here's the thing is, let's say one shows up, Trump comes out and says, we're not alone. Like, if you watch the video. Okay, well, one shows up outside the door. There it is. I want to go up and I want to knock. Hello? Anybody in there? I just have one question for you. Do you affirm that Jesus is Lord and Messiah, the Son of the living God, and that salvation from our sins can be found only through him and his work on the cross and his resurrection? Yes or no? I don't want to hear anything else of their messaging. I'm not interested in what they have to say about being our ancestors, that they planted us here and that they're the ones that guided our evolution, blah, blah, blah. None of that. Do you believe this? Jesus is Lord of the universe, not just earth. And if they can't answer that in the affirmative, First John 4 tells us to test the spirit. So this is, this is where, this is where it is. Is that as we, as we get out and we're going to see over the next, I don't know, will it happen in July? No, no. But this conversation is not going away. And as the church, I hope that we are equipped to say, no, no, no, let's not fall into whatever those lies are. Even if again, a ship shows up right there, I don't care. Doesn't bother me one bit. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me at all if fallen angels had this kind of technology and they were breeding grace. That doesn't, that doesn't bother me. That doesn't ruin or challenge my biblical paradigm. Because the Bible shows us that angels are physical, that they've done genetic manipul manipulation in the past. And so it wouldn't surprise me that they're involved in all these crazy things. But again, at the end of the day, what do we, what do we say? The secret things belong to the Lord. He's revealed some things to us. We don't have all the answers, but I'm not going to be deceived. No matter what, what their narrative is. And we already know that. We've seen many of the new age, they'll say, well, especially with the rapture and LA says this all the time. When they show up, we go up. Now that might happen or might not. All this could be revealed before that. But the key thing is listen to the messaging, listen to what the story, the narrative is being told. Even with the Steven Spielberg movies or all these things, it's sometimes there are threats, sometimes there are friends, but we know the truth. Let's pray, shall we? Father in heaven, we thank you. There's so much here. The world is getting weird, Lord, it's getting crazy. But yet, as a church, you've told us to always be ready to give a defense for what we believe and what we hope. We also have given us plenty of truth in your word to test the spirits, to test the messaging, to test whether these are doctrines of demons or not. I pray, Lord, for the utmost thing, that as Jesus warned us, that nobody would deceive us, that we would take heed, that's on us to be aware of these things. And so we just ask, Lord, that you'd continue to do that for us as we go out. The most important thing, Lord, is that we know you as personal Savior. And with that we have Holy Spirit protection and that you will guide our minds, protect our hearts. And first and foremost through the word of God, we just pray this all in Jesus name, amen.
