What’s up with all of the drones flying around the nation and the world. A lot of people are upset over this array of lights in the sky that appear to be interstellar. Me thinks that they are more demonic and deceptive than they are from outer space. We have been programed for years with all of the science fiction genre that is paramount in our culture. We have already seen a lot of lights in the sky that have portrayed flying saucers, space ships, and such. Some of these ‘drones’ that are manifesting as of late are the size of busses and trucks; some the size of buildings.
When onlookers attempt to get a closer look at this phenomena with their own drones, the batteries are drained instantly and they fall to the earth. When our military attempts to pursue these ‘craft,’ they accelerate to speeds beyond our technology and make turns that defy physics. This is nothing more than deception from the enemy who is staging an explanation for the millions who will disappear in the Rapture.
The strong delusion that Paul spoke of has already begun; it will continue after we’re gone during the tribulation. The deception that will be manifest during that time will be rampant. What we are seeing right now with all of these drones sightings around the world is part of a global deception that the enemy is waging.
Paul describes the deception like this, “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,” – 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11
- The ‘lawless one’ is the coming antichrist who will rule the world through ‘unrighteous deception.’ The deception he brings will manipulate the masses into following his plan which will lead them into hell.
Jesus talked about how if it were possible, even the elect would be deceived.
“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.” – Matthew 24:23-25
- The ‘elect,’ in context to this passage, has more to do with tribsaints who come to faith in Christ after the Rapture; which include Jews who turn Messianic in their faith. These tribulation converts will have the Holy Spriit indwelling within them when they are saved and thus, He will not allow these saints to be deceived by the devil because the Lord will keep them by His truth.
In other words, it will not be possible for a true tribsaint believer to be deceived during the tribulation because the Holy Spirit will not allow them to be deceived.
James says, “But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?” – James 2:19,20
- A key thought in this passage speaks to how demons believe in God, and they tremble knowing that God Almighty is just that, almighty. These demons know that their days are numbered and that one day they will suffer eternally in the Lake of Fire.
There are many ‘so-called’ believers today who say they believe in God, but they don’t tremble or revere His holy name. Demons have a greater respect for the Lord than some of them do.
The drones that we are seeing are all part of an elaborate deception that is being displayed by the devil to prepare the world for the Rapture. What these drones should tell us is that we are not long for the Rapture. Watcher Christians and those who are tuned into what God is doing on the earth right now also believe that we are close to the Rapture. We know that we are soon to leave because Paul told us that we would know the season of the Lord’s return.
Paul said it this way, “For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.”
– 1 Thessalonians 5:3-5
- ‘Peace and safety’ will be the rhetoric of the season of the Lord’s return and we are hearing that mantra right now ad nauseum. Believers who understand this also understand that the ‘sudden destruction’ that will come upon them (non-believers), will not come upon us as we (believers) shall escape; but they (non-believers) will not.
The sudden destruction is most likely a nuclear exchange that will occur in conjunction with the Rapture, thus marking our escape, but not theirs. When the missiles (ICBMs) come down, we will go up.
The sheer number of drones that are manifesting around the world are a tale that we are close to leaving. The threat of a global nuclear war is another tale of our soon escape. If you’re reading this and these drones have got you bugged out or fearful, please note that they are just a bunch of demons manifesting as lights in the sky and metallic ships that resemble fictional spacecraft that we’ve been programed to believe exist; but they don’t.
Paul reminds us that in that last days there would be false teachers who would attempt to sway the masses away from the truth of Christ and the hope of the gospel. He had this problem in his day, but today it’s much worse.
Paul goes on to say, “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.”
– 2 Corinthians 11:13-15
- I’ll admit that demons can do tricks that we can’t. They can make themselves look like lights in the sky, spacecraft, and other outer worldly objects that fly and ridiculous speeds and make turns on a dime, defying physical laws. They can also make eerie sounds that project from their entity.
It’s just a bunch of light bending and sound projections being manifested by these demonic forces who attempt to fool people into believing that they are real. It’s sort of like the laser pointer and a cat. No matter how hard the cat tries to capture the red dot, it’s just light.
My advice for all drone fanatics out there who are freaked out over these alleged space ships in the sky; don’t sweat it; they’re not gonna deceive you if you have the Holy Spirit indwelling inside your heart; and as a believer in Jesus, He lives in you. What all of those drones should mean to you is that we’re leaving soon. While it’s true that the devil doesn’t know when the Rapture is, it’s equally true that he does know that it’s soon. The devil’s antics of deception are allowed by God to facilitate the Lord’s will in the transition of His Church into heaven and the seven-year tribulation to ensue. It’s all part of God’s plan. The greater question here is, are you ready to go?
If you’re saved, keep the faith. If you’re not saved, please receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior today. Jesus is the only way to heaven and the Rapture of the Church is the next train out of here; secure your ticket to ride. Once we’re gone, so is the restraining power of the Holy Spirit. The devil will be allowed to wreak havoc on the earth; and he will. Nobody in their right mind will want to be part of that.
However, if you’re left behind, you can still be saved, it will just be more difficult for you and being saved post-Rapture will most likely cause your death. It’s far better to receive Jesus today and be ready to go when the Master calls us home. Until He does return for us, may we be less concerned about the drones and more concerned about leading the lost to the Lord.
See you soon.
