If you've heard Jack Van Impe's explanation of so-called UFOs, what do you think of it?

Posted by HisGrace (Member # 3438) on :

There are supposed to be unusual happenings in the skies towards the end times, and I believe Jack VanImpe's explanation could be true. All of his views have a strong Bible base.

Signs from God or not, I think many people often forget what the letters "UFO" obviously refer to.. simply an UNIDENTIFIED flying object, and not necessarily an "alien spacecraft" or other foreign cosmically-originated body. Not to get into conspiracy theories, but we know our government has gone to interesting lengths to pull off some strange things in our time - I would not be surprised if every single case of UFO sightings were just something along those lines.

But, do I think such things exist? Well, it is a bit odd to think about God creating ALL that space out there with tons of stars, galaxies, and planets, and to have it just be placed there for us to discover and admire for ourselves; this is not to say that I am not grateful for the beauty of it all, but it is alright to have a healthy assumption that He may have created others out there.

Though anything is possible through God, and we don't know his ultimate purpose and plan yet for everything he has shown us, there is nothing to show that such a thing as planetarily foreign beings (I prefer this term over "aliens") to us do not exist. The things in Revelation which MIGHT be construed as being to related to such a subject would be the signs in the sky, which HisGrace has mentioned.
