Over the last several years, the media has attempted to scare us with stories about the horrors that took place on 9/11, the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the anthrax scare, the bombings in London, Madrid, and Saudi Arabia, international terrorism, dirty bombs exploding in one of our cities, nuclear bombs for North Korea and Iran, the tsunami in Indonesia, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, avian bird flu pandemics, illegal immigration, famine in Africa, AIDS spreading all the world, antibiotic resistant tuberculosis, flesh eating bacteria, hepatitis A B and C outbreaks, increased sunspot activity, rising gasoline and natural gas prices, peak oil and sustainability of our way of life, another war in the Middle East, the dire consequences of supposed global warming and even a full blown UFO invasion or worse yet secret UN meetings with extraterrestrials who want to help us prepare for peaceful disclosure of their existence.
No wonder people are fearful.
We are constantly warned in television documentaries about future earthquakes in California and along the New Madrid fault, that the Yellowstone caldera is going to explode, that a gamma ray blast from the sun will annihilate us, that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, about the dangers of recombinant DNA and cloning and that a rogue asteroid or comet could strike us at anytime. Doomsday scenarios abound and impending planetary catastrophes are just around the corner. The end of the world is approaching fast and we are told that we cannot stop it.
The Bible prophetically warned us 2000 years ago that near the end (today?) that:
"You will hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified for these things must take place first but the end does not follow immediately…nation will rise up against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there will be great earthquakes and in various places plagues and famine and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven…when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies…and there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars and upon the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear…" (Luke 21:9-11, 20, 25-26).
The Bible also warned that sometime soon:
"A burning mountain will strike the earth and that the earth will be burned up and 1/3 of the trees and the green grass will be burned up and 1/3 of the people will be killed by plagues" (Revelation 8).
"The day of the Lord will come like a thief in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat and the earth and its works will be burned up" (2 Peter 3:10).
"But the present heavens and earth by His word are being reserved for fire, kept for the Day of Judgment and destruction of ungodly men" (2 Peter 3:7).
People should be fearful.
But the word of God tells us, however, not to fear!
How can that be? All that we need to do is trust and hope and believe in the Lord because the "Lord is patient toward all, not wanting any to perish, but for all to come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9).
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5).
"God is my salvation. I will trust and not be afraid for the Lord is my strength" (Isaiah 12:2).
"Hope in the living God who is the Savior of all men especially Believers" (1Timothy 4:10).
Remember, that "God has not given us the spirit of fear but of peace and love and a sound mind." (2Timothy 1:7).
God tells us in His word:
"Do not fear for I am a shield to you" (Genesis 15:1).
"Do not fear, I am with you" (Genesis 21:24).
"Do not fear, stand by and see the salvation of the Lord" (Exodus 14:13).
"Do not fear or be dismayed" (Deuteronomy 1:21).
"Do not fear or be dismayed. Be strong and courageous" (Joshua 10:25).
"I am your Lord, your God; you shall not fear" (Judges 6:10).
"Peace to you,do not fear" (Judges 6:25).
"Do not fear, I will do what you ask" (Ruth 3:11).
"Take courage, fear not" (Isaiah 35:4).
"Do not fear, I am with you" (Isaiah 41:16).
"Fear not, peace be unto you, be strong" (Daniel 10:19).
"Fear not but let your hands be strong" (Zechariah 8:13).
"Fear not them which kill the body but not the soul" (Matthew 10:28).
"Fear not for your prayers are heard" (Luke 1:13).
"Fear not because I bring you good tidings of great joy" (Luke 2:16).
"Fear not; believe only" (Luke 8:50).
"Fear not for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom" (Luke 12:32).
"Fear not, behold the King Cometh" (John 12:18).
"Fear not, I am the First and the Last" (Revelation 1:17).
Do not believe that some extraterrestrial stargod or starpeople or heavenly messiah in a spaceship of the gods will save you. They will not. Even if they call themselves mary or yahweh or the elohim, run from them before they will just lead you smiling with them to the gates of hell. There is only one Savior of mankind, only one name by which we must be saved, and that is Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12). It is neither Joseph Smith, nor Mary nor Moses nor Muhammad nor Buddha and especially not some Stargod or Heavenly fallen angel i.e. extraterrestrial. Military Aviation Historian, Trevor James Constable, told us that the battle with UFOs is not for the planet of man but for the soul of man. We have been warned of these imposters two thousand years ago.
"For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Behold I have told you in advance…do not believe them" (Matthew 24:24-26). "They will secretly introduce destructive heresies…and the way of the truth will be maligned…and they will exploit you with false words" (2Peter 2:1-3)
Long ago, the Apostle Paul warned us about spiritual warfare with so called extraterrestrials which are actually fallen demonic angels and their false teachers who are bent on deceiving us with craftiness and scheming.
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood…but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places…stand firm against the schemes of the devil" (Ephesians 6:12, 11).
All I can say to all of you is remember that I
"Spoke the word of God to you…imitate [my] faith. For Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and yes and forever. Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings" (Hebrews 13:7-9).
If you choose to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, He
"Will never leave you nor forsake you. The Lord [will be your] helper and [you] will not fear" (Hebrews 13:5-6).
