Aliens, Demons, and the Crisis of a Biblically Illiterate Church

On May 8, 2026, the Trump administration released 162 declassified UAP files. Around the same time, several well-respected church leaders publicly said they attended private meetings with unnamed believers who claimed high-level security clearances in military and intelligence circles. The point: Something big dropped, some church leaders got a heads-up, and now everyone is scrambling.

What Does Any of This Mean?

It means satan is going to have an absolute heyday, and I knew it the moment I heard these files were going to be released. So as people start to ramp this up and spiral down, here is a number that should be keeping every church leader up at night.

Only 6% of self-identified Christians hold a biblical worldview.

That means 94% of people who call themselves Christian are caught with their pants down right now and about to enter a world of pure deception, riddled with fear and have absolutely no Biblical leg to stand on.

We already lost the ability as a culture to define what a woman is, what a child in the womb is, or what our God given sexual design looks like. The church (as a whole) largely rolled over on every single one of those, laziness, silence, and Scripture twisted into a pretzel to validate whatever the culture demanded that week.

You really think this stops here? You really think a UFO file drop is going to be handled any differently by a church that has spent years surrendering ground it was never supposed to give up?

What Was The Real Intention?

I’ll be honest, I have mixed feelings about these meetings and why they happened. I find them murky and ill-timed with everything else going on in the world. What I do notice is that every church leader I could find who was in one of these meetings has a significant social media platform.

Was that intentional to manufacture fear? I do not know yet. I am not singling out any specific person here because there was a notable variety of religious leaders at these meetings, but if you have these platforms, if you have these congregations, if people look to you to understand the Word of God, why the scramble now? Why is this the moment the church decided to start “preparing” people?

Shouldn’t that have been happening from day one? There should never have been a need for private meetings with church leaders if they were actually doing their job, and if I’m being really blunt, if they were following Scripture, they never would have attended these meetings at all.

The 94% walking into this without a biblical foundation did not get there by accident. That lands squarely at the feet of church leadership that was more concerned with keeping their pockets lined and people comfortable than keeping them grounded in Scripture.

Yes, this also lands on people to stand up and question things being fed to them and redevelop missing critical thinking skills, but a whole hell of a lot just fell hard on the shoulders of church leaders who are more concerned with being cozy.

What Is Going To Happen

1) People are going to question God on every possible level, and why wouldn’t they? It’s not like only 94% of Christians barely know Scripture, let alone how many don't know how to find a book or chapter in it.

2) The normalization of “aliens,” aka demons, because that is what is actually happening here, and this is going to accelerate. This has been building for decades through Hollywood, television, books, gaming, and entertainment. Satan has been softening you up for this moment for a very long time.

In the meantime, Old Testament Elohim and New Testament Demons is exactly the kind of grounding you need right now before you go any further down that rabbit hole.

The problem is not that people will encounter this information. The problem is that they have been so thoroughly conditioned to find it fascinating instead of spiritually alarming that they will not even recognize what they are looking at. This is not normal, and it has never been normal. Slapping the word alien on it does not change what it is.

3) The worst thing that is going to happen out of all of this is that people are going to be deceived on a global scale.

Scriptural Truth

The Bible was never once silent on this topic. Ephesians 6:12 NIV: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

Principalities and powers. Spiritual forces of evil. That is the biblical description of what is in those files. People just gave it a different name and a press release.

2 Thessalonians 2:9–10 NIV: “The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing.”

"Signs and wonders that serve the lie." Read that again slowly.

Do not miss any of this while you are busy panicking about “aliens.” And just so you know, an alien would probably be a lot nicer than a demon; confusing the two as different beings is a costly mistake.

The Remnant

I genuinely do not care what is in those files. I am not worried, and I am not losing any sleep over “aliens” because I know exactly what they are and who wins, and it is not them.

What I care about is the staggering number of people who are going to be deceived by this because nobody built them a foundation to stand on. The Christian church failed. Not in a small way, but in a massive, generational, brutal, inexcusable way.

This is no longer a nation filled with Christians; it is a nation with a remnant, the 6% left who read Scripture, and the rest are walking into this with their pants down. That is just horrifying to think about.

Read your Bible, people. I get it, we are in an age where things have massively accumulated into people struggling to even think for themselves, let alone read or do math, and not to mention being pumped full of addictive additives daily with social media.

But that excuse can only take you so far. You are fully capable of opening your eyes, asking questions, getting down and dirty, breaking a mental sweat, and reading Scripture. For the church leaders, I pray you get this one right. The deception is not coming. It is already here.
