What if ( alleged ) aliens landed and claimed to be the source of all life on this planet , what are your thoughts on this ?
Could this be the great deception ?

The problem with this scenario there is not in bible prophecy evidence of beings from outer space coming to this planet, in extraterrestrial craft, offering such claims. The only thing that would hint at such a scenario is in Daniel 2, it says they would not cleave to the seed of man.What if ( alleged ) aliens landed and claimed to be the source of all life on this planet , what are your thoughts on this ?

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
I am looking at more as different cultures not mixing. I asked a Jewish rabbi how they interpreted that verse in Hebrew, and he also said it meant different cultures not mixing together (harmoniously, implied).
As far as the great deception that God sends in 2Thessalonians2, it will be that God will bring the slain man of sin back to life (in Isaiah 14:18-20) - which to them who will be inclined to do so because they reject Jesus, will believe the person's lie that he is God - and has conquered death. More likely, the person will be claiming that he has achieved God-hood.
The other point working against the space alien scenario is the insertion point into the bible prophecy scenario. What is in bible prophecy is Gog/Magog will take place, then the 7 year, seventieth week, follows. So there is not space aliens anywhere up to that point... only muslim nations and Russia. So I don't see how the space alien scenario would fit in.
I think it will be THE great deception. It is the same lie that was in the Garden.
It will not be aliens, but fallen angels manifesting physically, as in the days of Noah.
okay, but where are you finding aliens coming from outer space or another dimension as a key feature, repeated over and over in bible prophecy, specific passages?Because Christianity is ideological, not genetic or nation-based, the prohibition against worshiping 'foreign gods' has to be 'elevated' in a manner of speaking, to mean 'alien'/ foreign, because any earthly nationality may be a Christian.
So, yes, some future faction of humanity will be worshiping a (faked) alien.
But, all that said, an antichrist will want to appear to be an 'enemy of demons', which conveniently enough, 'aliens' are supposed to be 'Nephilim demons'.
Also, the pharmakia of revelation 18:23 is the manner by which the deception is foisted upon the public. Drugs for sorcery. Depending upon the drug effect, we could say that the 'out of body' experience of say, ketamine, could be interpreted as a 'failed rapture'. As if the faked 'aliens' are 'rapturing' people.
Hard to say at this point.
It won't be the Jews. Because the great deception is tied to the man of sin's claim to be God, which the deception comes when he is killed and brought back to life - which will appear to the world that his initial claim was true and that he has overcome death, which is the essence of what is in Revelation 13.First who is the great deception aimed at? ...Can't be us because we already know about it and that's why we are discussing it here , so it must be the jews because they don't read the new testament as we do.
They once said to Jesus to show them a sign from heaven which he wouldn't , but the book of revelation (which they don't read) tells us that there is coming a fella who will do just that , he makes fire come down from heaven to the earth and that it shall be a sign.
Add to this a fella sitting in the temple of God claiming that he is God , well that can be only be one place and one people that are being deceived here.
But if people want to talk about UFO's then do your own personal study on that so called star of Bethlehem , and if you do your study carefully you will come to "THE STAR OF NAZARITH". but was it a star?
Doug, the Bible calls them angels. It is we that call them aliens.They are all over the Bible.okay, but where are you finding aliens coming from outer space or another dimension as a key feature, repeated over and over in bible prophecy, specific passages?

EXACTLY!I would have to disagree with the Jewish Rabbi. A plain reading of that verse shows two distinct parties, the seed of men and something not the seed of men. A mingling of cultures would involve all parties being seeds of men.
There's also Luke 21:26 which has been seen by many over the years to indicate the arrival of something from the heavens to the earth. Also, keep in mind, this is a deception. God isn't going to tell us in some footnote only Christians can see, "Psst. It's fallen beings posing as aliens."
It offends the sensibilities of some people to think that humans and angels mixed. That is why people cannot believe the son of perdition might be a hybrid being. It has bee my thought for years that the transhuman agenda will be the dominant force on the Earth toward the end. People are already modifying themselves in various ways and scientists are blending animals and humans creating chimeras. The evil that is being done on Earth today is covert. But, the time is coming when enhanced/altered people will be the norm.
