“The alien-UFO thing, I’ve whittled it down to three things. And I’ve prayed about this. I’ve researched it and I’ve looked into it. What they (the media, conspiracy theorists) are doing is dumbing down the culture so much. You have so much social media that is brainwashing people by a short, one-minute clip, or 20-second clip or five-second clip. That’s training people to think a certain way. Hollywood has trained people to think a certain way.
The first one I think it could be is a strange technology that is by governmental entities or foreign adversaries, or unknown technology origins that are totally of this earth, totally of humanity. It’s technology we don’t fully have a grasp on and yet we can see it around our skies; that we can take photos of and we can empirically observe it. The second one I believe could be happening is a fake alien scenario—augmented reality stuff, projections in the sky or things that many have heard of like Project Blue Beam, where they blast things up in the sky like the Spider Man movie. … It’s drones projecting an image that had a lot of reality behind that image. I believe that is a precursor to a Project Blue Beam type of thing. You see drones that go into the sky and they can write things in the air and do all kinds of amazing things, that’s what the public sees. And why would they do that? Because whoever controls the narrative can unite the world under what they want. I think there’s a truth in that, that there will be more revealed or concealed to deceive the masses upon either the rapture or something else. It’s a common movie theme. Think “Independence Day,” a totally fictional but popular film.
I enjoy the entertainment, and it is a part of our culture that people think about. Can you imagine if we used that for the gospel? It’s the fallen angel narrative that broke out in Genesis 6, where the sons of God, these angels, these watchers, came down and cohabitated with women. That is one of two things, either sexual relations and they created monster people like Goliath called the Nephilim, or they have altered women’s DNA to create things and they mess with animals, all this stuff. Fallen angels want to deceive, and I believe they have the ability to understand technology and multiple dimensions. That’s why you can see these alien craft appearing and disappearing. … You’ve got these experts that do not know God and saying it’s massless, it’s obviously from another planet or universe. Really, it just goes into this deception.”
They will completely bring out disclosure until they finally reveal the truth. And the truth they will bring out is the deception that says ‘we are your creators,’ we planted you here, we did all of it. It all goes back to Genesis 6. It is a lying scenario, by fallen angels rebelling against God and they are working for Lucifer. They want to begin to deceive the masses to lead people away from Jesus. But the answer is the same. Jesus Christ is Lord.” -Joseph Z; Charisma; June 2, 2023

Dr. Simeon Zahl is Junior Research Fellow in Theology at St. Johns College, Oxford.
His research interests are in the broad Protestant tradition, especially the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, Lutheran theology, theologies of emotion, and charismatic and Pentecostal theologies. His first book was on German Pietist theologian Christoph Blumhardt (1842-1919), a bridge figure between classical Reformation thought and contemporary Pentecostalism.

...the reason modern people resist the idea of sin is that we believe by default that only freely chosen sin is really sin, and today it is clearer than it used to be that most sin is not in fact freely chosen. The problem with this is that it fails to explain most destructive behavior in the world. It lets us off the hook, at the expense of our not being able to understand the world around us with honesty. And so we get surprised when we catch a glimpse of the underbelly and find ourselves wondering for a moment whether the arc of history does not, in fact, bend towards justice. We get surprised when our efforts to help keeping go awry, when good intentions prove to be laced with condescension and self-regard, when sincerely given help is spurned or ignored, and when lovely and true things gradually go corrupt and decay and even the loving parent is sometimes cruel. We get angry, and we blame, and we do not understand the world around us.

Luther described the situation of our own culture very well in his commentary on Psalm 51:
The Gentiles who are without the Word do not properly understand these evils even though they lie right in the middle of them … Thus they cannot properly evaluate any of human nature, because they do not know the source from which these calamities have come upon mankind.
In other words, Luther is saying we need to understand about sin because without it we will not be able fully to understand or describe the reality of the evils and sufferings we see around us. The Gentiles, Luther is saying, are like those who try to make sense of the cancer they are suffering from but don’t make use of the best diagnostic instrument available. Just read most political and social thinkpieces these days. No matter how intelligent or informed the writer, what is glaringly missing so often to a reader like me is a sense of sin. There is a naïve optimism about education or about human intentions or both, and a failure to recognize the basic bias against flourishing, which functions on both individual and societal levels. -Dr. Simeon Zahl ; The Doctrine of Sin; NYC Conference in 2016
