In just a few days, Roland Emmerich's apocalyptic epic, 2012, opens in theaters across the United States.  In the trailer for the film, which is posted below, iconic Christian sites as the Sistine Chapel, Saint Peter’s Basilica, and the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro are portrayed as being dramatically destroyed once doomsday arrives.  However, 2012 is not alone in this focus on the destruction of Christian symbols.  In the new ABC television series V, there is a very dramatic scene where a statue of Jesus topples over and shatters on the floor once the aliens arrive.  The not so subtle message in both cases seems to be that when cataclysmic events occur in the not too distant future, conventional ideas about the Christian faith will be devastated and the faith of millions of believers will be shattered.

But is this true?

Would cataclysmic events in the years ahead cause millions of people to turn away from the Christian faith?

Such an occurrence certainly seems to be on the mind of those writing movies and television shows.  You can't watch the videos below and reasonably come up with any other explanation.  It is obvious that Christian symbols were chosen for a reason.

But why focus so much on Christianity in particular?

Emmerich, the director of 2012, explained his reasoning for focusing on the destruction of Christian symbols while leaving other religions such as Islam totally alone: "We have to all, in the western world, think about this. You can actually let Christian symbols fall apart, but if you would do this with [an] Arab symbol, you would have ... a fatwa. So it's just something which I kind of didn't [think] was [an] important element, anyway, in the film, so I kind of left it out."

While Emmerich's reasoning may be highly questionable, the reality is that his film does touch on some elements of truth.  If there are massive natural disasters in 2012, the faith of many will be shaken.  Many will wonder where God is and why He is allowing such things to happen. 

In the trailer for 2012 below, try to focus on how many Christian symbols are depicted as being destroyed.  This was obviously done quite purposefully.....

But what had our jaws on the floor was what we saw in the premiere episode for the new ABC series "V" which features aliens who have come to earth and have made open contact with mankind.  In the first episode when the aliens make their initial appearance above earth, there is a dramatic scene inside of a Roman Catholic church where a statue of Jesus topples over and shatters on the church floor.

What are we supposed to think when we see that?

Obviously the writers of V did not pick a statue of Jesus by accident.

The truth is that they obviously meant to communicate to us that when aliens do make open contact with mankind that it will destroy the very foundations of the Christian faith.

But would it really?

If aliens arrive on earth would it change everything that you believe about God?

Is there anything in the Christian faith that would explain the existence of extraterrestrial life?

The premiere episode of V featured several conversations between Roman Catholic priests where they actually discussed those kinds of questions.

Actually more Americans than ever are thinking about those kinds of questions.

One recent poll found that approximately 60 percent of Americans believe that extraterrestrial life exists on other planets.

That is a solid majority.

In the poll, of those who believe that extraterrestrial life exists, most agreed that they would be "excited and hopeful" upon the announcement that we had made contact with extraterrestrial life.

And that is just how most Americans reacted in the premiere episode of V when the Visitors arrived.

So how would such an event change the way that Americans view Christianity?

Well, another survey had Americans respond to the following statement: "Official confirmation of the discovery of a civilization of intelligent beings living on another planet would so undercut my beliefs that my beliefs would face a crisis."

Over 80% of "religious Americans" responded to the statement above by answering either "Disagree" or "Strongly Disagree".

But it is hard to say exactly how people would react until something like that actually happened.  Perhaps people truly underestimate how quickly an earth-shattering event like an alien landing could change beliefs.

And actually some of the most powerful religious organizations in the world  are openly preparing for what they feel is inevitable. In fact, the Roman Catholic church plans to greet any visiting aliens as "brothers":

But should the Roman Catholic church welcome visiting aliens as "brothers"?

Could it be possible that aliens that claim to come to earth in peace are actually very evil beings that seek to deceive mankind just as the television show V depicts?

That is something to think about. 

A video preview of the new television show V is posted below. Pay particular attention to the scene where the Jesus statue shatters on the floor of the Roman Catholic church.....

Iran has successfully shot down an unidentified shining object over the Persian Gulf.  Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps initially detected three glowing craft flying over the Persian Gulf islands of Khark and Kargou.  They were able to target and shoot down one of those craft, but at this point they have not recovered the remains of that aircraft yet.

According to PressTV, Brigadier Ali Razmjou had the following to say about the incident..... 

"Glowing objects were sighted over the Persian Gulf. IRGC air defense targeted one of the objects successfully, forcing it to plummet and sink in the seas off Boushehr (Province)."

Razmjou also added this.....

"The three bright objects were detected by our radars when flying over the Persian Gulf Islands of Khark and Khargou."

So what in the world did Iran shoot down?

Well, there are two possibilities that jump to mind right away.

#1) The most likely scenario is that the three objects were unfriendly drones or aircraft from another nation (most likely either the United States or Israel).  It would be a huge embarrassment to have an aircraft shot down for one of those nations - thus perhaps the reason that this incident has not made a splash in the Western news media yet.

#2) The second scenario that jumps to mind is that what Iran shot down was actually a UFO piloted by "aliens".  There have been rumors that UFOs have been shot down before, but if Iran were actually able to publicly recover the remains of an actual UFO that would be HUGE news.

Plus, what would it say about Iran that they are able to shoot down a UFO?  We all knew that they had bolstered their air defenses, but nobody expects Iran to be at that level.

So will we find out what really happened here?

Time will tell.

Meanwhile, if you have any information about this incident, please leave us a note in the comments section below.

During a July 22nd solar eclipse, scientists at the Purple Mountain Observatory in Nanjing, China believe that they captured some of the most stunning UFO footage ever recorded. These scientists have confirmed that forty minutes of video footage of the UFO was captured during the solar eclipse, and that an investigation is now ongoing to determine just what this UFO is.

But it was not just scientists who saw this UFO. The UFO in the video below was reportedly witnessed by several dozen Chinese students during the solar eclipse, and a number of them photographed or filmed it as well.

Many UFO analysts are already calling this extraordinary sighting in China the UFO event of the year. In fact, there has been such a buzz about this in China that China's mainstream has been forced to report on this story.

YouTube video of this sighting is posted below. Could this be solid evidence that UFOs are real?....

The footage that you are about to see below is either one of the most solid pieces of evidence for the existence of "aliens" or it is one of the most bizarre and elaborate "hoaxes" ever perpetrated.  The video below contains a news report about an alien baby that was discovered by a Mexican farmer on his property.  The news report includes stunning close up video footage of the dead alien baby corpse.

When the Mexican farmer, Marao Lopez, discovered this alien baby on his farm back in 2007, he drowned it in a ditch out of fear.  Lopez claims that it took 3 attempts to finally drown the small creature, and that in order to do so he had to hold it under the water "for hours".

Lopez ultimately handed over the alien baby corpse to a team of university scientists who performed an array of scientific tests on it.

These tests revealed that this "creature" is not like any known animal on earth.  According to the scientists,  that skeleton of the baby has characteristics similar to a lizard, while its teeth do not have any roots like human teeth do and it is built to stay underwater for a very long time.

Please take special note of the similarity of the creature to a lizard - this fact will really get the attention of quite a few people in the UFO community.

Another important fact is that the brain of this alien baby was very large, leading the scientists to speculate that the creature was probably very intelligent.

Another disturbing aspect of this story is that Lopez reportedly died under very suspicious circumstances.  According to reports, Lopez burned to death in a parked car at the side of a road.  Not a normal death at all.

So has all of this sparked your curiosity? 

Well, here it is.  Here is the video of the alien baby found in Mexico.....

Where are UFOs from and who are the "aliens" that are piloting these mysterious craft?  These questions have haunted paranormal investigators for decades, and the answers to these questions could provide fundamental answers regarding the origins of humanity and the nature of the universe.

Not that we are the first generation to deal with this question.  In fact, ancient mythologies are full of legends about "gods" who flew around in mysterious craft and who came down to earth and interacted with humanity.  In fact, a number of these mythologies indicate that some of these "gods" actually had children with earth women.  The offspring of these unions became many of the "heroes" and "champions" of the ancient mythologies.

Now, it would be easy to dismiss these mythologies as fantasy, but could come of these legends actually have a bit of truth contained in them?

Is it possible that the earth has been "visited" by these beings off and on for thousands of years and that they have a long history of interacting with humanity?

In modern times, those who have interacted with these "aliens" usually say that they claim to be from another planet or another galaxy, although there is a great deal of inconsistency in the claims. 

But are they from another planet?

Are they here to help us?

Can they be trusted?

Or is there something more sinister taking place?

The ancient book of Enoch, which is quoted in the Biblical book of Jude, has a great deal of information about what that book calls "the Watchers". In Enoch 6:1-3, it describes these "Watchers", which are also described as angels, coming down to earth and taking wives and having children with them:

And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.'

A complete translation of the Book of Enoch can be found here:

http://www.heaven.net.nz/writings/thebookofenoch.htm

Is there a connection between these "Watchers" and the current UFO phenomenon?

The reality is that people are looking for answers to these questions.  It seems as though sightings of UFOs and aliens are becoming increasingly frequent, and they are really shaking people up. Literally thousands and thousands of people all over the world have reported an encounter with UFOs, aliens or both.

So are all of these individuals insane?

Are all of these people just imagining things?

Are they lying?

If you start doing some research on this subject on the Internet, you will begin to realize that the Internet is absolutely packed with stories from people who have either seen a UFO or who have actually interacted with aliens. 

Is it possible that these people are actually interacting with beings from another world?

Just what in the world is going on here?

What does the Bible have to say?

A great place to begin is with a very curious statement that Yahshua (Jesus) made regarding what times would be like during the last days.

Matthew 24:37 says this.....

"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man."

So what were the "days of Noah" like?

Well, certainly those days were incredibly evil, and mankind was full of wickedness.

But the Scriptures DO give us additional details about what was going on during the time of Noah.

Genesis 6:4 says this.....

"The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown."

This has got to be one of the most shocking verses in the Scriptures.

Do you understand what it is saying?

Just as we examined earlier in the book of Enoch, it is saying that fallen angels (the Watchers) were literally coming to earth and mating with human women and having offspring. Their offspring were mighty and powerful and were the "giants" of ancient lore.

So why in the world would these "Watchers" do such a thing?

Well, apparently Satan's plan was to pollute human DNA so that the promised Messiah could never come forth.

The Messiah could never become mixed with the DNA of these fallen angels.

If Satan succeeded in polluting the entire human race the plan of salvation would be defeated.

That is why God chose Noah.

Genesis 6:9 describes Noah as "perfect in his generations". That doesn't mean he was without sin. It means that his DNA had not yet been corrupted by the fallen angels.

That is why God had to destroy the earth. To preserve the human race through Noah and his family, and to destroy the offspring of these fallen angels.

But Satan did not give up on this plan after the flood.

According to the Scriptures, apparently the fallen angels tried again.

In Genesis 6:4 it says "and also afterward".....so the Nephilim were also around after the flood.

We can a post-flood reference to the Nephilim in the book of Numbers:

Numbers 13:32-34

And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, "The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."

That is why God had the people of Israel wipe the nations of the promised land out. They were of the Nephilim. Satan had filled up the land of Israel with this wickedness so that the Messiah could never be produced there.

In fact, the giant Goliath that David killed was also a descendant of these Nephilim.

So what does all that have to do with today?

Well, many people believe that what Jesus was talking about regarding "the days of Noah" is being fulfilled by the modern day UFO phenomenon. If you research the "alien abduction" phenomenon, you find that these "aliens" are particularly obsessed with two topics:

#1) Human Reproduction and Sexuality

#2) Spirituality

These are the exact same things that the Watchers (fallen angels) of the Book of Enoch were so obsessed with.

In fact, in his book entitled "Confrontations", renowned UFO expert Dr. Jacques Vallee wrote about this apparent link:

"The 'medical examination' to which abductees are said to be subjected, often accompanied by sadistic sexual manipulation, is reminiscent of the medieval tales of encounters with demons. It makes no sense in a sophisticated or technical framework: any intelligent being equipped with the scientific marvels that UFOs possess would be in a position to achieve any of these alleged scientific objectives in a shorter time and with fewer risks."

Quite a bit of additional research is emerging that strengthens the link between fallen angels and aliens.  New Age guru Brad Steiger admits admits that those who get contacted by aliens are often those who have rejected Christianity for other forms of religion:

"Very often UFO contactees are, by their own admission, individuals who have become disillusioned with the existing religious institutions. (In the western world probably Judaism or Christianity.)”

In fact, on page 153 of his book "UFO End-Time Delusion", David Allen Lewis explains how eager those involved in the New Age are to channel our "space brothers":

"A New Age devotee just hasn't 'arrived' unless he has had contact with a 'spirit guide,' an 'ascended master,' a 'channeled entity,' or a 'space brother-ETI.' Contact is sought through meditation techniques, invocation, luciferic initiation, or by the laying-on-of-hands by a guru, channeler, or other New Age expert."

The reality is that those involved in the New Age or the occult are much more likely to have an "alien encounter" than those who are not.

In addition, as we documented in a previous article, one UFO investigator has found that alien abductions can be stopped cold if the victim invokes the name of Jesus:

http://theufosandaliens.com/archives/can-an-alien-abduction-be-stopped-by-using-the-name-of-jesus

Now if these "aliens" do not have any link to the kingdom of darkness, then why does the name of Jesus have such an impact on them?

As they say, truth is stranger than fiction.

Could we be witnessing the return of the Watchers in our lifetime?

The reality is that the forces of darkness are using this "UFO" phenomenon to mask who they really are.  The forces of darkness are actively hyping and manipulating our expectations about extraterrestrial life.  They are setting up a mass deception which most of humanity will swallow hook, line and sinker.  A while back we produced a YouTube video on this topic that we would encourage you to watch:

In addition, we have posted below another short YouTube video that does a good job of explaining just who these aliens are....
