ALIENS ARE DEMONIC? UFO Abductions Stop When Jesus’ Name Is Spoken – End Times Signs Accelerating
Bible Engagement Drops But 9 Million More Americans Are Curious – Is This The Perfect End-Times Opportunity?
A powerful convergence of spiritual warfare, biblical prophecy, and cultural shifts is unfolding right before our eyes, and leading voices are sounding the alarm.
In a compelling episode of Newsmakers, experts unpacked the explosive connection between rising UFO sightings, unwavering evangelical support for Israel, and shifting Bible engagement trends in America.
What emerged was a clear picture that many believe points directly to the end times.
David Rives, founder of the Wonders Center and Science Museum, joined the show to address the sudden mainstream explosion of the alien and UFO debate.
Just ten years ago, the topic was fringe and often dismissed.
Today, it dominates conversations.
Rives explained that after years of media distrust, people are questioning everything.
With over 6,000 confirmed exoplanets discovered, many assume alien life must exist somewhere.
However, mathematicians like those at Oxford have concluded that the precise conditions required for biological life like ours make extraterrestrial life mathematically improbable in this universe.
Yet the sheer volume of UFO and UAP sightings worldwide cannot be ignored.
Rives pointed out a striking pattern: abduction and encounter stories today mirror ancient reports of fairies, goblins, and trolls.
These experiences seem to follow pop culture trends.
If these were truly physical beings from other planets, why would they adapt to human cultural stories? Rives suggests they are not extraterrestrial but extradimensional — spiritual entities operating in the unseen realm.
This theory gains strength from countless documented cases where victims in the middle of terrifying abductions cried out the name of Jesus, and the encounters instantly stopped.
The entities appear powerless against that name, strongly suggesting demonic activity rather than advanced alien technology.
This revelation aligns with findings from CBN’s new documentary Investigating the Supernatural: Angels and Demons.
Experts like Hugh Ross note that close encounters often mirror demonic possession experiences.
The spiritual implications are profound.
As deception increases in the last days, these manifestations may be part of a larger strategy to mislead humanity away from biblical truth.
The conversation then turned to Israel.
Dr.
Mitch Glazer of Chosen People Ministries presented eye-opening new research.
Despite intense negative media coverage since October 7, evangelical support for Israel remains remarkably strong.
Among those who hold to the fundamentals of the faith, between 70 and 75 percent express strong favorability toward Israel and the Jewish people.
Even more striking, 87.
1 percent agree that Christians should love and support Jewish people regardless of whether they accept Jesus as Messiah.
Many assumed this support was driven primarily by end-times eschatology — the belief that Israel plays a key role in last-days prophecy.
The research proved otherwise.
The driving force is biblical: God’s everlasting covenant with Abraham.
A significant majority, including younger evangelicals, believe the promises of land and blessing to the Jewish people remain valid today.
Even among 18- to 30-year-olds, over 53 percent affirm this, with another 20 percent saying they simply do not know yet — representing a major educational opportunity rather than opposition.
The data shows consistency across age groups, offering hope that biblical conviction on Israel is holding firm amid growing cultural pressure.
Finally, Dr.
John Plake from the American Bible Society delivered important updates on Scripture engagement.
After a noticeable uptick in Bible use in 2025, numbers returned in 2026 to levels similar to 2024.
However, a deeper shift offers real hope.
The “movable middle” — adults who are curious about the Bible but not yet consistent readers — grew by 9 million people.
At the same time, the fully Bible-disengaged group dropped by 5 million.
This creates a unique moment where millions are open and searching but need guidance.
Men showed particularly interesting trends.
While occasional Bible use fluctuated, active weekly personal Bible engagement among men has grown steadily for three years, reaching 24 percent this year.
The challenge for churches and believers is clear: these moments of curiosity are gifts that must be met with personal discipleship, not just sermons.
Without guidance, many may set the Bible down again.
Taken together, these developments paint a dramatic picture.
Spiritual deception through UFO phenomena is rising.
Biblical support for Israel remains resilient.
And millions more Americans are curiously reaching for Scripture at a time when prophecy seems to be accelerating.
Many viewers left the episode asking the same urgent question: Are these the signs Jesus warned us about? Is the stage being set for the final events foretold in Scripture?
The evidence suggests we are living in a pivotal moment.
Deception is increasing.
God’s promises to Israel are being tested.
And hearts are stirring toward the Word of God.
The call has never been clearer: stay alert, stand firm on biblical truth, support Israel as Scripture commands, and be ready to guide those who are seeking.
The end times are not distant speculation.
They are unfolding in real time — through deceptive signs in the heavens, unwavering covenants on the ground, and hungry hearts turning toward the Bible.
The question is no longer whether these things are happening.
The question is whether we are awake enough to recognize them and respond with boldness and faith.
