The modern fascination with “aliens” and unidentified flying objects (UFOs) has permeated global culture, shaping everything from blockbuster movies to scientific speculation. Yet, for the discerning believer, the question arises: is this phenomenon truly extraterrestrial, or is it a carefully orchestrated spiritual deception, laid out in advance for the end times?
For those studying prophecy through the lens of the Bible, the answer points to the latter, with a chilling origin tied directly to the infamous occultist, Aleister Crowley—the man who proudly proclaimed himself “The Great Beast 666.”
The “Alien” Archetype Born from Occult Ritual (1918)
In the early 20th century, before the term “UFO” even existed, Aleister Crowley was conducting esoteric rituals in Greenwich Village, New York City. From January to June 1918, during a magical working known as the “Amalantrah Working,” Crowley claimed to have made contact with a preter-human, non-physical entity. He meticulously drew a portrait of this being, naming it Lam.
Crowley’s sketch of Lam is nothing short of disturbing for its uncanny resemblance to what would become the universally recognized “Grey Alien” archetype—a being with a bulbous, hairless head, large, dark, slanted eyes, and a delicate frame. This drawing, published in 1919, predates the widespread “alien” sightings by decades.
This isn’t mere coincidence. Prophetic scholars assert that Crowley, through his advanced occult practices, effectively opened a portal or thinned the veil between dimensions, allowing these demonic entities to make themselves known. Lam was not an “alien” from outer space, but a demon from another spiritual dimension, manifesting through occult invocation.
The Seed of Deception Sprouts (1946-1947)
The groundwork laid by Crowley soon bore dark fruit through his most dedicated disciple, Jack Parsons, a brilliant rocket scientist and fervent occultist. In 1946, Parsons, in California, conducted the infamous “Babalon Working” rituals, an intense series of sex magic ceremonies designed to invoke a powerful spiritual entity and usher in Crowley’s new “Aeon of Horus.”
Just a year later, in July 1947, the alleged crash of an unidentified object near Roswell, New Mexico, ignited the modern UFO phenomenon. The descriptions of the beings found at the crash site bore a striking resemblance to Crowley’s Lam. The timing is too precise to ignore: occult practitioners actively seeking to open spiritual gateways, immediately followed by physical manifestations that fit their own channeled descriptions.
This is not a tale of little green men from distant galaxies, but a chilling account of demonic forces leveraging occult ritual to initiate a grand deception.
The True Identity: Demonic Deception, Not Extraterrestrial Life
The Bible is clear about the existence of powerful spiritual entities that are not of human origin:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12, KJV)
These “aliens” are not advanced civilizations from other planets; they are the fallen angels and demons who rebelled against God. Their goal, as always, is to deceive, to draw humanity away from the Creator, and to prepare the world for the ultimate lie of the Antichrist. The “alien” narrative provides a convenient, secular framework for explaining away supernatural phenomena, blurring the lines between God’s creation and Satan’s deception.
The Dark Fruit of The Beast: Death and Despair
Crowley’s life was not just about intellectual rebellion; it was a testament to the destructive power of his self-proclaimed title, “The Beast 666,” and his philosophy of “Do what thou wilt.” His rituals and lifestyle were steeped in depravity, drug use, and an overt rejection of God’s moral law.
The consequences were tragically evident in his own life and those around him. Crowley was surrounded by death, misery, and shattered lives. He buried several of his own children at young ages, often under mysterious circumstances or due to illnesses exacerbated by the squalor and neglect of his communes. His magical partners often suffered severe mental and physical breakdowns.
This pattern of death and destruction is the undeniable fruit of aligning with demonic forces. It stands as a stark warning: while the “alien” lie may present itself with advanced technology and promises of enlightenment, its true source is ancient evil, and its ultimate outcome is spiritual death, perfectly reflecting the biblical portrayal of the Beast’s destructive power.
