Similarities Between UFO Encounters and Demon Encounters
We did a post on this topic yesterday so we won't start all over again...except to say that this article by Rev. Jennings is even more evidence that "aliens" ARE NOT flying here from distant galaxies but are, in fact, demons in disguise.
A man lies sound asleep in bed when he is suddenly awoken. He senses a presence in the room, though he cannot see anyone there. Suddenly it appears next to him, peering down at him with a horrifying look. He lies paralyzed, unable to move. The creature begins to speak to him telepathically, telling him that he has been chosen to fulfill a mission and will be given special powers to do so. Things begin to grow hazy and soon the man is unconscious. When he wakes up in the morning he has bruises and feels as if he has been sexually violated. Over time these visitations continue and he begins to develop psychic powers.
So, what exactly is happening here? The answer to that depends upon the time that you live in. Most people today would readily acknowledge this as a typical “alien abduction” story but what if you asked someone who lived one or two or even ten centuries ago. How would they define this? The answer may surprise you. “Alien abduction” experiences have been occurring for centuries; the only difference is that those who experienced them in the past usually recognized them as being something evil from a demonic force. It is only in modern times that large numbers of people in Christian countries have began to refer to the atypical “alien abduction” as something that is not demonic.
Now all this is not to say that there may be other explanations for some of the “alien abduction phenomena” that are occurring. Some can surely be explained by sleep paralysis, nightmares or other natural phenomena. But some, however, seem to be unexplainable by any natural phenomena that we are aware of and have all the trappings of a legitimate demonic encounter. The following chart was created to show just how similar a “demonic encounter” is to an “alien encounter”. On the left are recorded cases of demons appearing to people and treating them in exactly the same way that “aliens” are reported as treating people in modern times. On the right are the recorded cases of “aliens” appearing to people and shown to be treating them the exact same way that demons have treated people in the past when they appeared to them.

Now please notice the author's own testimony and understand that 1/3 of Christians around the world report having a similar experience of being paralyzed and held down in their beds by some type of terrifying entity. Praise the Lord that all of these NIGHT TERROR experiences will simply vanish at the name of Jesus.
MY OWN TESTIMONY
I have never had an “alien abduction” but I have had several times in my life where I have went to bed, fell asleep and then suddenly found myself lying in my bed, paralyzed, and aware of a demonic presence in the room. In these experiences it was very clear that the presence was demonic (in other words it was not claiming to be an alien and I assumed that it was demonic—I just had this awareness in the experiences that this entity was demonic). I remember one in particular where the demon had taken the form of a stone Mayan Calendar kind of false god and was going to crush my head. In another a demon would come and touch me on the hand in kind of a taunting way. Another time a demon was trying to choke me. In each of these cases I would be in my room, in my own bed and usually paralyzed. In most of these experiences I would always struggle to yell out the name of Jesus but, due to the paralysis, would be unable to do so. However, as I struggled to cry out I would eventually be able to finally squeeze out the name of Jesus and every time that I did so the experience would end. Now, if I did not know anything about demons or Satan I would probably assume that these experiences were “alien encounters” because that is the most common way that society defines an experience like this. There really isn’t much difference between what I have experienced and your typical “alien encounter” with the only difference being that I was able to stop it.
And the good news for anyone who is being troubled by demons masquerading as “aliens” is that if they will place their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, repent from their sins, be baptized and lead a life that seeks Him first in all things they too can experience that same victory over “alien abductions”.
