Note: Lisa and Steve are going to talk about aliens and UFOs. If there are such things, they must be either angels or devils. Revelation 20 says:
"And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that, he must be loosed a little season." Revelation 20:1-3 (Audio)
And again...
"And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations." Revelation 20:7,8 (Audio)
Many see these verses as taking place sometime after our Lord Jesus comes back. But there is another view - I think it is the correct one. Satan was bound when Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day. Satan was bound in the sense that he could no longer deceive the nations as he did prior to that time.
And for 2,000 years the gospel has been going out to the four corners of the earth, just as our Lord commanded (Matthew 28:18-20). But if our Lord's return is near, then Revelation 20:7,8 may well explain all the UFO sightings that have been occurring.
I don't think Pastor Mike Hoggard would agree with what I said about Revelation 20, but he has spoken much on these UFO/, Ailen sightings (he sees them as demonic). Why don't you listen to one of his radio broadcasts on this topic:
