UFOs, Bible and alien abduction

Magazine articles, books and even evangelists are engaging in Bible-based speculations about the nature and intention of extra-terrestrial entities that kidnap, paralyze, physically abuse and sometimes sexually molest victims. Many contend the topic is worthy of ongoing theological discussion. Among these is end-times prophecy author Terry James, a Benton native. James says he believes it's no coincidence that there has been a dramatic increase in strange sightings and encounters since the 1947 Roswell incident, at a time when global crisis is reaching unprecedented levels. This is addressed in his latest book, "The Nephilim Imperatives: Dark sentences," in which James explores the connection between UFO's, spiritual warfare and end-times prophecy. He suggests that the Biblical concept of "nephilim" is a possible explanation for alien abduction. The book is published by Anomalos Publishing. James notes that nephilim, as they are called in the Bible, are satanic hybrids born of sexual union between fallen angels (demons) and women. Such inter-dimensional abomination took place, according to the Biblical account, during the time of Noah. "The similarity between the abduction experience and demonic possession is very, very close," James says. "One of the evil objectives of the sexual union of fallen angels and women as we move toward the end-times could be to create a non-human society on Earth which would be impossible to be redeemed by Christ during the tribulation described in the Book of Revelation."
