Where did you get this idea Clovis? I thought you were Christian.
I am that is why I tell others not to ever trust them if and when they do come. When I first heard a Mayan Prophecy in the 90s that said at the end of this cycle and the start of the new one (Dec 21-23, 2012) that good men from the sky will appear and the bad men from earth will battle with them. The good men from the sky will win and begin the new age. It all became more clear for me. I believe aliens are not from another planet but from here. I believe they are just demons in disguise, the same ones thrown to earth after they rebelled in heaven.

Genesis 6:1 When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal ; his days will be a hundred and twenty years." 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
They were able to walk the earth once in physical form. They were the offspring of the Annunaki, the fallen angels, and became the Nephilim, the halflings half human half demon. They are known as the shining ones. My post
Earthound and Hellbound discusses them further. The
Grigori are also interesting in that some Italian witch lore claims they came from the stars.

Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me."
The reason the devil could even attempt to make this deal with Jesus is because the devil in fact has influence in the governments of the world. Then as now. Ephesians 6:8 offers more insight and in some versions of the Bible calls them the 'principalities' of the air and the 'rulers of the darkness of this world' among other things.

Matthew 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
Compare this to the Benjamin Creme's Maitreya who on the Day of Delcaration according to some will be a day when religious statues and pictures of holy icons will speak and say this man is blessed and we should follow him. This is what Benjamin Creme's own organization's websites says:

On this Day of Declaration, we will see his face on the television screen wherever we have access. The biblical statement, "All eyes will see him," will be fulfilled, in the only way in which it can be fulfilled. We will see his face, but he will not speak. His thoughts, his ideas, his call to humanity for justice, sharing, right relationships and peace, will take place silently, telepathically. Each of us will hear him inwardly in our own language. In this way, he will re-enact on a worldwide scale the true happenings of Pentecost 2,000 years ago. At the same time, the energy which he embodies ― the Christ Principle, the energy of love ― will flow out in tremendous potency through the hearts of all humanity. He has said: "It will be as if I embrace the world. People will feel it even physically." This will evoke an intuitive, heartfelt response to his message. Simultaneously, on the outer, physical plane, there will be hundreds of thousands of miracle healings throughout the planet. In these three ways we will know that Maitreya is the World Teacher, come for all groups, religious and non-religious alike.

Revelation 13:3 ...and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?"
I of course am not going to try and guess who exactly are the aliens and who is maitreya in all this, if it is even going to happen, but if it does in our lifetime we know most of the world will believe in them. I encourage all not to.
QUOTE
Revelation 13:7 Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it
The ones who refuse to follow them will be the ones who they, the aliens and their followers, will make war with, the saints.
QUOTE
Revelation 13:10 If anyone is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if anyone is to be slain with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.
This is encouragement for those who refuse. If we are taken captive or die then do not fear it.
QUOTE
Revelation 13:13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
Fire coming down from heaven sounds familiar but I will not claim anyone has to believe as I do. Neither will I try to convince anyone I am simply sharing my beliefs. These are my beliefs and maybe none of it will come to pass but if it does I will be mentally prepared and will not be enslaved in spirit.
Some might wonder how demons, who are just spirits, will be able to take physical form again. It is because God will remove His Spirit from the Earth. It will no longer be here to comfort us. It will allow the demons to do as they please for a short time. In essence by removing His Spirit He is giving Satan permission to have one last try at humanity. In the end they will be defeated by Christ.

2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
