An alien...or a fallen angel?
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon [money].” — Matthew 6:24
As has been mentioned on the Beginning and End radio show, there is going to be an upcoming series on the many pop stars today who use their music and videos to promote subliminal and sometimes extremely blatant occult and satanic imagery. But before the large study is complete, the Katy Perry song, E.T., deserves its own blog. In our most recent article on Alien Deception we looked at the ABC series “V” and focused on several points that involve Bible Prophecy: 1) The account of Genesis 6 describes a time when fallen, rebellious angels took human women as wives and had children with them. 2) These hybrid offspring, referred to as the the Nephilim, were a race of “supermen” who started to dominate the Earth with violence which lead to The Lord God bringing on the flood in which only Noah and his family were spared and then instructed to repopulate the Earth once the flood waters subsided and 3) The modern day UFO/alien phenomena if it exists at all is nothing but the activity of fallen angelic or demonic beings manifesting themselves before their prophesied return during the end time’s Great Tribulation. In the meantime, much of pop culture seems to be referencing this alien/angelic phenomena as if preparing society for this future age when the “sons of god” will once again return to the Earth. Katy Perry’s song E.T. seems to be following right along with this pattern.
The Genesis 6 Account
It is very important to understand what the Bible states about evil, fallen angelic beings coming to Earth at the time before the flood of Noah’s day. In our initial article we referenced the Nephilim, the hybrid offspring of the fallen angels of Genesis 6, who came to Earth, took human women as wives and had children with them:
Genesis 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
This illicit union by rebellious angels led to the global flood in which Noah and his family were spared on the ark. The angels who committed this sin were then punished with imprisonment in the bottomless pit.
Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
Both passages reference angels who were imprisoned for fornication-related sins in the time of Noah. The angels who participated in the “marriage” with women were sentenced by God to be imprisoned in the bottomless pit until the time “judgment of the great day.” It is this author’s belief this time period is the “Day of The Lord”, the end times outpouring of God’s wrath on the unbelieving world which commences at the opening of the 6th seal of Revelation Chapter 6. Also interesting to note is that in the supernatural appearance of these beings, their faces are like those of human men (also of note is that the King of the bottomless pit is Apollyon, which is just another name for the ancient god Apollo). And the Bible prophesies that in the end times Great Tribulation, there will be a return of these angelic beings back to Earth and a return to their interaction and attempted relations with humanity.
Aliens are in fact…demons?
It is this author’s contention that what is thought of as the UFO/alien phenomena is actually spiritual in nature. The beings that have been reportedly seen throughout time are angelic and demonic manifestations. Several experts in the field of paranormal activity and UFO’s have weighed in on the subject:
“UFO behaviour is more akin to magic than to physics as we know it… the modern UFO -nauts and the demons of past days are probably identical.” -Dr. Pierre Guerin, FSR Vol. 25, No. 1
“The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon…” – John A. Keel, “UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse”
“We believe that the cultural preparations (or deliberate conditioning) of the world to view our alien visitors as powerful and highly evolved saviors makes the UFO phenomena the perfect motif for the Antichrist to exploit when he ascends to power. His ability to perform supernatural signs and wonders, his comprehensive plan for the peaceful unification of mankind and his connection to or origin from god-like alien entities will engender the masses to follow him into the biggest deception in history.” – published Missler & Eastman, Alien Encounters pp. 295-296
So could it be that what people are experiencing is actually a spiritual encounter? The song E.T. seems to hint at this from the very first stanza.
The Song “E.T.”
Images from the new "E.T" Video
The song appears to be a tribute to a lover/boyfriend who is an alien. While the song can easily be summarized as just a comparison of ‘an amazing boyfriend’ to an alien, the lyrics have a much more sinister tone:
You’re so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil
Could you be an angel
So from the onset, we see the song getting right to the point: it starts of by saying “Could you be the devil”! The hypnotizing effect of this “lover” is so strong that Perry compares him to Satan himself. This is then followed by the question of whether the “E.T.” is an angel. From the Bible, we can clearly answer both questions with an emphatic “yes.”
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
In this passage, the Apostle Paul is commenting on deception. There were people at that time claiming to be Christians and infiltrating the church, but they were preaching a false message that was not Biblical. In explaining this Paul says that this type of deception should not be a surprise because Satan can actually transform himself into an Angel of Light. This is a very important passage because it shows that we as humans can actually see angels. But just because we see one, does not mean that they are actually good. Satan and his angels can disguise their appearance to appear benevolent, loving and full of “light.”
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating
Leaves my body glowing
Often in alien abduction scenarios reported on news sites or documentaries, alleged victims of abductions report being pulled into the air or floating up to alien vessels. However the same phenomena is also reported in witchcraft. The clear message is that the “alien” in question is seductive.
They say be afraid
You’re not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don’t understand you
“They say be afraid..” well we presume websites like these are the “they” warning against this type of deception. But here is where the song takes another very powerful message and plays it off as teen love. Perry comments that her ET is “not like the others” and has a “different DNA.” Once again, we are seeing referenced to the DNA aspect of the alien deception. As described in the “V” series article, there seems to be a heavy emphasis on angelic beings focusing on human DNA once they return to Earth. And we know that human DNA will be a major part of the final end times Kingdom as described in the book of Daniel. In Daniel Chapter 2, the prophet Daniel interprets the dream of Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar. The dream involved a giant statue with body parts that represented a series of great Kingdoms throughout history. The final kingdom however, has a very unique description:
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
The final Kingdom on Earth before the Second Coming of Christ Jesus The Lord, appears to be a “hybrid” Kingdom represented by iron and clay. And one of the factions of this kingdom will try to “mingle themselves with the seed of men.” This is a very powerful passage as it is discussing human reproduction. The Biblical term “seed” is always in reference to the conception and birthing process. And the “seed of men” is a reference to human reproduction. So who are the “they” that are trying to mingle with humanity? It’s not aliens, it is the fallen angelic beings repeating their sins of Genesis chapter 6.
Your from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I’m ready to go
Lead me into the light
The occult and satanic references continue here. Interestingly enough Perry makes the point that his blog has been driving home in every alien article. There are not “extra-terrestrial beings.” What is being viewed as aliens are in fact inter-dimensional beings. They are spiritual beings, not life from another planet. And here Perry shows her agreement. We then see her show the great benefits of her ET. This futuristic lover has opened her eyes. And of course, this reference goes right back to Satan in the Garden of Eden, and the deception he used on Eve to lead her into sinning against The Lord:
Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtile than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Notice Satan’s initial plan of attack and deception. The first thing he does is misquote The Lord by asking if God told Eve that she could not eat ANY of the fruit of the Garden. In addition to lying to Eve by changing the words God had said in instructing Adam and Eve, Satan then made his grand offer for why sinning by eating from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil would be worth it: your eyes shall be opened. This occult reference to eyes being opened and achieving “godhood” is the primary goal of many occult orders and secret societies throughout the ages.
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
……..Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction
And here is the union. It all leads back to the alien/angelic being having relations with the human woman. The lyrics speak for themselves in this regard. As we have shown in previous articles, this concept is being promoted in pop culture more frequently by the day. This ad for Axe Body Spray is just one example
UPDATE: The E.T. Video
One of Perry's alien forms in the video
Now that the video for “E.T.” has come out, an updated analysis was necessary. The video is actually mundane by Hollywood standards as most of it are shots of Parry and co-artist Kanye West floating in space. While Perry is obviously intended to resemble an alien of some sort (who seems to be shape-shifting as the song continues), the true message in the video is not revealed until the end. It can be viewed here.
Along with the images of Perry floating in space, there are shots of a scorched and devastated Earth, with piles of charred rubble giving allusions to a post-apocalyptic setting (brief images show a case from a museum with a stuffed pigeon in it and a message indicating they had gone in extinct in the “year 2030”). Amidst the rubble, there is a small robot that appears to be powered off. Once the alien Perry leaves space and comes down to Earth, she touches the head of the robot, to reveal the image of a human face in it. She then touches the center of the robot and “brings it to life” with illuminated light now bursting from the robot’s midsection. As it rises, she then kisses the robot and light descends on the two:
The robot then transforms into a man who is bathed in light. And soon a shot reveals that Perry’s alien character’s lower section is actually that of a horse or a similar kind of animal. Thus the alien/son of god has come down to Earth, given illumination to humanity through sexual union and ushered in a new era. The old world is clearly depicted as destroyed. The alien brings in the new world. The light that the two beings look into is so bright, that even the alien needs to put on sunglasses.
The union that leads to "illumination"
Again, the idea of the angelic beings ushering in a new age is one that is embraced by the New Age movement. We have quoted noted Theosophist Benjamin Creme on this subject and again we see the New Age view on “aliens”: “…if humanity knew that the spacecraft in our skies were not ‘aliens’ but were here to aid and alleviate the suffering of humanity on this planet, and with their obviously far more advanced technology, people would demand that they are openly welcomed and their superior teaching made available to them.”
The deception is that aliens or ascended masters are here to help humanity, solve all of our problems and ultimately, help us achieve godhood as first falsely promised by the chief “E.T.”, Satan. This message can take so many forms and varieties in the many schools of thought that comprise the New Age Movement. But do not be deceived! What is important to remember is that these beings who are being channeled, spoken to and anticipated to return, are demonic. These are beings who are seeking humanity’s destruction and are not coming to help us. They are fallen angelic beings who are given one last return to Earth as part of the end times judgment:
Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. .. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
These are some of the fallen, evil angelic beings who return to Earth during the final end time Great Tribulation period. Notice the description: Like Perry’s character at the end of the video, they are hybrid beings, part-human, part-beast. Interestingly, they are described as being “like unto horses”, and we see in the video, Perry has legs that are similar to a horse’s. They also are described as having faces of men (which can be interpreted as just meaning human faces) and the hair of women. Finally, the fallen angels from the pit have metal breastplates which Perry also happens to be wearing in the video. If this seems like too much of a coincidence or that maybe it’s all just a coincidence, just remember that we as humans get inspiration from all sorts of sources. We know the Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit. It does not seem a stretch to say that evil spirits can inspire as well.
Katy’s Background
Katy Perry is now famously or infamously known for first being a “Christian” recording artist. She wears a tattoo that reads “Jesus” on her wrist. Her parents were very devoted Pentecostal ministers who “spoke in tongues” in the charismatic fashion (which is unbiblical). At just 17 she was being trumpeted as a part of a new generation of Christian singers. It is still baffling that so many church across the nation are pushing young children into the same music industry that is producing so much sin-glorifying music (to her parents credit, they have at least publicly criticized Perry’s raunchy pop music). Since leaving that Christian music scene behind, Perry has taken a turn towards sexed-up, raunchy and sin-filled imagery. She is constantly parading in skimpy outfits, showing off as much as flesh as possible. While her videos are filled with sexual innuendo (so much so, that I have opted not to put images from them in this article). In her smash hit song, “California Gurlz”, Perry invokes a great deal of occult imagery, while being played off as a happy, teen in a candy filled play world. Perry at one point is walking through a virtual forest made of candy canes. The tall candy canes then turn into serpents. Perry then climbs a candy cane to the sky, at which point she is then seen nude floating on a cloud. And gives a knowing at the camera that everything is okay now. The serpent leading to ascension leading to godhood, once again.
Perry’s rise to fame occurred with her mega-hit single “I Kissed a Girl” a song which celebrates homosexual exploration by young girls. How anyone who claims to still be a Christian could make a song such as this, is mind boggling (unless of the course, the person is a not a Christian). Perry has become a hit with a huge following of young girls and teens. Like many young female stars before, professing to be “Christian”, Perry has achieved star status by promoting sexual promiscuity, sinful rebellion and a complete lack of regard for anything Christian. Many artists and entertainers claim their belief in God while their fruits, actions and words show a whole different agenda. Again, we can only warn parents to keep this music and sin-filled influence out of your homes. As Christians we are to not part with the unfruitful work of darkness.
What Does the Bible Say?
To no surprise, The Lord has strong words for the type of influence Ms. Perry is wielding in the world today. Matthew 18:6 reads: But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea..” The corruption of children and the youth is a very serious offense. Ms. Perry’s music (her album is called “Teenage Dream”) is targeting young adolescent girls and encouraging them to run into sinful behavior. Meanwhile with the major media sources backing her and promoting her, families across the world are deceived into seeing her as a “bubbly pop star” who is suitable for their children to listen to. And this is just deception.
Conclusion
The lyrics of the “E.T.” song are just one more example of the strange and stunning references to Bible prophecy and the occult in the pop culture entertainment of today. Is this a part of predictive programming, aimed at the subconscious of music listeners to prepare them for a future age when “E.T.” do arrive on Earth? Is it all just a means to confuse the belief system of society’s youth? Either is possible. There is no question however, that that the music and imagery is promoting sinful rebellion. As Christians, we should always use discernment with any entertainment we allow into our homes or to pass in front of our eyes. And we should know to look at the fruits of an artist, not just their statements about their faith. As for Ms. Perry, we should pray for her to have true, Biblical repentance and start to truly serve The Lord instead of money.
Here is Ms. Perry in her own words summing up her ascent in the music industry.
do people rly have to get all into this?just love the song like i love katy perry..BTW I LOVE YOU KATY!!!
Use your brain.
Hi Janet,
“Do you really have to get into all this?” is exactly what I think about all these pop artists like Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry who have talent, stage presence and enormous fan bases and instead of just making happy, positive music, instead delve into all of this occultic/freemason/satanic imagery. Why are they doing this? I have grown up and seen hip hop and pop take the full turn from party music, to overt raunchiness to now, just occultic. It’s sad because artists like Katy Perry have millions of fans (many young females and girls) who are getting a very mixed message. It’s not even just encouragement to be sexually promiscuous, now they are subtle messages encouraging dangerous spiritual behaviors and attitudes. It breaks my heart seeing 5 year old girls singing lyrics that are describing intimate behavior or saying names like “Nikki Minaj” (when they shouldn’t even know that word).
I wish this was not happening but once you start looking deeper, it’s pretty obvious that there is a sinister agenda behind all this. The Bible says: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” The images and music from these artists are the wrong kind of training.
One day we are going to realize just how much of an affect music has on our minds and consciousness. Until then, I have to take a stand for God, Jesus and righteousness and warn people just like I was warned one day by a Youtuber who did a video that changed how I viewed the music industry greatly. So let’s pray Katy will get the message and articles like these are no longer necessary. God bless.
This is not talent. It is all Satanic, and you honey had better learn to recognize it before you too lose your soul to Satan and his minions.
Wow. Your complete ignorance and paranoia are absolutely stunning! Once in a while, and this doesn’t happen very often mind you – someone says something that is just wholly undeserving of any response whatsoever. Just….wow.
Hi Tammy,
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate them all! I understand that if this is the first time seeing an article discussing things like this it may seem completely off the wall and “reading way too much into things.” I once felt the same way. But if you start examining it more, you will soon see a pattern consistent with these pop artists. I am working on a much broader article about many different artists and that may make it easier to see that this is not just an “idea” but a reality in the content being put out by the industry today. God bless.
Great article.I would have prefered you put up some images to emphasize your point.
Hi JK,
Thanks very much. I am glad it could be a blessing. And as requested, I have updated the article with more pics and a section on the newly-released E.T. video. God bless.
Glad you can openly see the corruption taking place in the mainstream music industry, more people need to be aware and spread the word (People who still think it’s conspiracy theory needs to stop living in denial and open their eyes). All of your points about the music video symbology are correct; although there is more of an occult (hidden) meaning behind it from what I have gathered thus far.
“I’m a legend (ego) I’m irreverent (lack of empathy) I’ll be reverend (Church of Satan term)
I’ll be so faaaaa-ar up
We dont give a fuuuh-uh-uck”
This verse ties into the 2030 reference, in which the people in power who have a lack of empathy or compassion towards humanity will destroy planet earth while they colonise outer-space. 2030 of course is referring to when the global alien agenda will take place from 2030-2050. This is when the public are told our government will perform a ‘manned-mission’ to Mars (bill past by Obama recently – perfect timing no?), when in actual fact they will colonise Mars and establish a military base on the Moon. There is also talk of a hoax alien invasion in order to instate Marshal Law throughout the world, bringing in a need for a one world united government (New World Order). – hence the alien and new age conditioning. This is way beyond simply marketing tactics to make money.
The extinction of the pigeon will be a ritualistic symbol of the end of peace on earth. I came to this conclusion because pigeons or doves are symbols of purity and peace and were sacrificed in pagan rituals. In other words, by killing off all pigeons it’s a symbolic ‘F you’ to humanity and pleasing their god(s).
The human sunglasses ‘circa’ 2011 is making reference to seeing the world from a new perspective and accepting Lucifer (Light bearer), in essence subliminally brainwashing people into accepting this New Age propaganda.
About her upbringing. It’s well documented that the Illuminati work with Satanic cults that pose as Christian organisations in order lure mostly females into trusting them. Once this happens they are abused and made into a monarch slaves where their personality is fragmented and altered. Notice in one of the E.T cover artwork, she’s sitting on a rocket (fails) with a Freemason checkerboard in the reflection even though the checkerboard isn’t anywhere to be seen in the photo. This is an occult Illuminati reference for control within the shadows.
* I’m merely tying in all the references together. It all makes sense. Especially when you find out Floria Sigismondi the creative director for the video worked on many New Age artists like David Bowie and brainwashed Satanists like Marilyn Manson not to mention Monarch slaves like Christina Aguilera who have fragmented personalities (Xtina). Same goes for the directors of Lady Gaga and Madonna videos. All links together.
My advise is do not fear what you see, instead understand all aspects of the symbols and hidden meanings this is how you empower yourself from the evils in the world. Knowledge is only power once you know how to use it.
I love how much detail you put into this. I read every part of it and all of your points are correct. You know your bible and how to use it. I wish more people had their faith in God and didn’t watch videos like katy perry or lady gaga and think it’s just the beauty of Hollywood. For those who are Christian, I hope you’re reading the King James version. It is the only bible today where the words and its meanings have not been twisted into something else. I watched this video and it is so demonic and far fetched. And the part when katy perry puts the sunglasses on and they show a glimpse of the extinction of the pigeon was a dead give away that satan is behind this. And also when she takes her cape off and has the legs of an animal as a hybrid. That is crazy! Why would they discuss alien sex? Its not normal, it is not sexy or appealing. Its just sick! Its demonic.
I am glad you analysed this song. When I heard I was just praying for a good analysis since it was so new but keep it up. A lot of people do not want to hear all these things about demons but the truth is that it is really real! I hope persons will gain wisdom and understanding from your analysis. Continue to do as the Lord instructs my sister in Christ. When we know the truth, the truth shall set us free! Blessings always.
Great article. I was wondering when someone would do an analysis and actually thought that Vigilant Citizen would have gotten around to it by now. I’ll be sure to pass this one along …
This was a fantastic article. Great work, great scripture refrences. I have been on this line of thinking for a long time. I can’t recall where I heard it but I think it was in some testimony or a documentary about the music business, I heard someone say that no one makes it in the entertainment world with out help from the other side. That always stuck with me.
I just want to encourage you to keep doing what you are doing… always remebering though that you can not accomplish anything through your own strength but through the strength provided by God through the Holy Spirit. You are serving the right Master here.
I too write a site devoted to Christianity and how the world is largely oblivious to the obvious truth in the Bible. Check it out if you want. I am going to put a link to your site on my site.
Another thing I thought you might be interested in is a desktop site that the company I work for designs. http://www.xpiritmental.com I think you’ll find some things there that you will like!
The world is racing to a finish line, most people don’t even know they are on a ride… keep trying to wake people. Peace and blessings for now… write me if you want, I like speaking with like minded people, maybe there is even some way we can collaborate in the future for the growth of God’s kingdom. Peace and blessings to you.
Can someone explain to me why speaking in tongues is “unbiblical” like the article says?
^anyone?
it is, in fact, very biblical.
i was quite enjoying his/her blog until i came across that statement.
time to delete it from my favorites.
though it begs the question why he/she had to bring up speaking in tongues at all,
just so he/she could say it is unbiblical?
yeah, i don’t like that. don’t like it at all.
it’s one thing not to believe, and a whole other thing to influence others…
just as she states in this article. how ironic.
Hi Shine,
Thanks very much for your comment. And you are right. Speaking in tongues is indeed Biblical. However the question is “what are tongues?” In the Bible the word for tongues in Greek is glossa, which means “languages.” A tongue is a language and the spiritual, supernatural gift of speaking in tongues is when someone speaks a foreign language that they never spoke before. There are only 2 examples of speaking in tongues in the Bible — At Pentecost and in Acts Chapter 10 at Cornelius’ home. Pentecost is the clear example of what tongues are. The Scriptures make it clear that the Apostles were speaking in foreign languages that the people around them, who had traveled from many different countries for the holidays, could understand:
2:7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
Again, the men who heard the tongues knew them as their native languages.
The Speaking in tongues that the article refers to is the excited utterances of noises and sounds that are not an actual language. That form of speaking in tongues is not Biblical. There is no one in the Bible who does it and the Bible is actually against that type of activity.
I hope that helps to shed some light. And I ask that you please come back to the site and continue to voice your thoughts. I am learning and growing in the faith like everyone else and I enjoy going to the Scripture to see what God says on a matter, even if turns out I’m completely wrong. I actually have an article on speaking in tongues that I am editing right now (there are a lot of new articles coming out this weekend) that will go into greater detail on this. God bless and I hope to hear from you again.
you’re welcome. and thank you for your response.
how can you be so sure that when someone is speaking in “tongues” that it is not a language that has been given to them by the Holy Spirit?
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
would you recognize most of the languages in our present world?
“As of 1997, at least a
portion of the Bible had been translated into 2,197
different languages, still a long way short of full coverage.”
http://www.lsadc.org/info/pdf_files/howmany.pdf
when someone is speaking as the Spirit gives them utterance, how can you
claim they are not speaking in “tongues”, just because you do not recognize the
language?
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
how do you know what all “other” tongues are?
1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
1 Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
1 Corinthians 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
since these scriptures clearly teach the speaking of unknown tongues, how is it that we can expect to recognize a tongue that is unknown? what does “unknown tongues” mean to you?
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 12:7-10 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
the scripture above clearly states “divers” kinds of tongues.
and how can you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that these are all only earthly languages, when we, as Christians, know that we are not of this world?
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
why do you say that “utterances of noises and sounds are not an actual language”?
when
e v e r y
s i n g l e
*k n o w n*
l a n g u a g e
is an utterance of noises and sounds. lol.
and we see in scriptures the Spirit speaking through people with “other” tongues, “divers” tongues, and “unknown” tongues. which would also logically be “utterances of noises and sounds.
when i hear a language that i don’t know, guess what it sounds like? an utterance of a bunch of noises and sounds. which is exactly how you are interpreting the manifestation of the Spirit by speaking in “other”, “diverse”, and “unknown” tongues.
there is much, much, much, much more to God and His mysterious ways than is
written in the Bible. if we could explain everything about God, then He wouldn’t be God, Blessed be His Holy Name.
John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
The LORD Bless You and Keep You,
Shine
i should have used this:
as of 2005, Ethnologue has 6,912 main languages in its language name index and distinguishes about 39,491 alternate language names and dialects.
🙂
that’s a whole lot of different “utterances of noises and sounds”.
Thanks for coming back to the site and providing more of your thoughts and Scripture. I will try my best to address them here briefly but my article on speaking in tongues will definitely go into great detail.
First off I just want to say when I said “utterance of noises and sounds” I did not mean an actual language spoken by a people group on the Earth. I am talking about jibberish. Nonsensical noises and sounds that are not any actual language spoken in any country. Something that usually starts off “Ohh rashalomba..etc..etc.”
Speaking in tongues in the Bible is a reference to speaking actual foreign languages, not made up jibberish. So if someone, who say, has never spoken Russian in their life, suddenly began preaching the Bible in Russian fluently, that would meet the biblical definition. I will now touch on the verses you brought up.
Romans 8:26 — I think this verse is in reference to the Holy Spirit Himself groaning, not people. The Spirit will utter our prayers. I don’t think this verse has any relation to speaking in tongues.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
how do you know what all “other” tongues are?
We know the other tongues because the Bible explicitly states them. This is a very, very important point in this whole tongues debate. God in His providence goes to the detail of mentioning all of the nations of the people who were around the Apostles at Pentecost. And the verses I cite make it absolutely 100%, without question, clear that the Apostles were speaking real, understandable foreign languages. The people from those nations understood what the Apostles were saying. The miraculous aspect was that the people knew the Apostles were from Galilee and thus did not have the education to know their languages but yet, through the power of the Holy Spirit, they were preaching the Gospel fluently. This is speaking in tongues. It so clear in this chapter what is taking place. But many churches, pastors and teachers have unfortunately taken this account and changed its meaning. The Apostles spoke real foreign languages. Not jibberish. There is never one example of any follower of God speaking jibberish in the Bible. And if it’s not in the Bible, then it is not biblical.
1 Corinthians 14:2 I will go into detail much more in the article but for now I will say this: 1 Corinthians 14 is a rebuke of the church at Corinth for speaking in tongues, not an encouragement. Paul is not pleased with them. In fact, the boisterous “group tongues”, where many members are making noise in church is directly prohibited in the Bible and yet there are churches all over America doing this every weekend (I know, because I have been to them).
The references to “unknown tongues” means a foreign language that the people attending that church would not understand. For example, someone in London coming to a church where everyone speaks English, starts preaching in Swahili. To those British people, the preaching would be in an unknown tongue. This is the meaning of it. Again, the word for tongue in Greek means “language”. Every use of the word glossa in the New Testament is for actual foreign languages, not jibberish.
The purpose of tongues was as a sign to
since these scriptures clearly teach the speaking of unknown tongues, how is it that we can expect to recognize a tongue that is unknown? what does “unknown tongues” mean to you?
1 Corinthians 2:14 – This is drawing a contrast between unsaved people (the natural man) and saved people (the spiritual). It is saying that those who are unsaved do not have spiritual discernment. It is not a reference tongues or languages.
1 Corinthians 12:7-10 John 18:36 – Divers tongues is just another way of saying “various foreign languages.” That’s all it means. As for Jesus and His church being “not of this world” that is true, but “world” in that context means “age” or “era.” Jesus is indeed going to rule right here on planet Earth. But that will be in the age to come. The Bible uses the word “world” which in Greek is aeon, to describe this. Whereas “Earth” refers to our planet. Jesus’ world is the Millenial Kingdom. So again, I don’t think this directly relates to speaking in tongues or languages.
“there is much, much, much, much more to God and His mysterious ways than is
written in the Bible. if we could explain everything about God, then He wouldn’t be God, Blessed be His Holy Name.”
I would submit that everything God needs us to know is in the Bible. God would never instruct us without putting it in His Word. It is how He reveals Himself to us. So while there are things about God that we don’t know and can’t even comprehend (such as the depths of His love for us), we should base our doctrine and behavior 100% on the Bible.
See 2 Timothy 3:16 — We are made perfect in God’s eyes by the Bible alone. So we do not need to enter into activities that are not in the bible as a form of worship. And the jibberish is definitely not in there.
I hope that helps explain my point of view more. But as promised there will be a detailed article and a radio show on the topic. Please feel free to provide more comments any time. God bless.
Hello there,
I found your article very interesting. I agree that there is quite a bit of underlying meaning in this video that most people don’t see or choose to acknowledge. I agree quite a bit about with what you said about the video, and even think that it is highly plausible that Aliens are indeed some type of spiritual/Angelic/Demonic force that we don’t fully grasp yet. However, I disagree that Aliens/Fallen angels have as much to do with the end times as you are putting forth. Of course, none of us are certain what will happen, so I am willing to admit that my understanding could be wrong. If you are interested in reading more about what the information that has informed my views you can find the book at http://amzn.com/0840731604.
One of the things you mentioned was Daniel’s prophecy and the feet of Iron and Clay. As you look at the different pieces of the statue, head, torso, etc. they are all referencing kingdoms of men that will exist after the prophecy. Daniel even says this to Nebuchadnezzar. The iron is clearly a reference to fragments of the legs. Why do you think that when describing the feet, the image of clay would be used to describe something spiritual like angels?
You then go on to reinforce your point by citing verse 43 “they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men” I show that the original Aramaic is “by the seed of men”, not “with the seed of men.” I point this out because I think that using ‘with’ implies they are not already man, but using the term ‘by’ implies they are two similar objects being mingled. i.e. remnants of the Iron (Roman) Empire mingled with elements of this clay kingdom.
I think the idea that the last kingdom is comprised of people is reinforced by Revelation 17:9-11 “This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eigth, but belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction.” We see here in this description that the last kingdom is in some way comparable to the previous kingdoms, very similar to the previous kingdoms or possibly comes from the previous kingdoms. It is not something that completely replaces the other kingdoms, like a Demonic invasion. It doesn’t really reference anything being grafted in or coming from something outside of the the previous kingdoms, other than the beast, which I understand to be Satan/the Anti-Christ.
This is starting to get a bit lengthy for a blog reply, so I think I will wind it up here. I would really encourage you to check out the book “The Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church” by Marvin Rosenthal. It is by far the most sensible interpretation of end times prophecies that I have come across. I try not to be very dogmatic about end times prophecies because really, no one knows for sure at this point other than God. I hope you are able to increase you knowledge and wisdom beyond your own expectations, and as a result are able to help others see the truth.
JSpoon
Hey JSpoon,
You raise a lot of excellent points and I will try to address them all as best as I can (while not getting into too long of a response). I think the reason why my belief on angels and demons being so involved in the world and human affairs in the end times is not because of one particular verse, but because of the totality of the verses about them and specifically, their return in the end times in Scripture. So to your specific points:
1. Angelic beings in the end times world: Putting aside the Daniel verse for a moment, we still have pretty concrete evidence that fallen angelic beings will be gathering on Earth in the End times. I would look to Revelation 9:11 and Revelation 12. Rev 9 shows the 5th trumpet sounding and the angel is sent to open the bottomless pit. This pit, or aboussos, is the abode of demonic beings. The term in Greek is the exact same place that the demonic Legion beg Jesus not to be sent to when they encounter Him. It is also where the Sons of God of Genesis 6, who took human wives, were sent as a punishment. These beings are released at the 5th trumpet. The army that is described in chapter 9 is a supernatural one. Somehow, many Bible scholars have turned the descriptions of these beings into some type of metaphor for Blackhawk helicopters and tanks. But there is nothing in scripture to support this. SImilarly, some say the 200 million horseman army of the 6th trumpet are the Chinese. Why?? Just because China is a big nation? That is not proper Scriptural interpretation. I believe both groups are supernatural beings. Because that is exactly how the Bible describes them.
Rev 12 shows the war in Heaven when Satan is finally banished. At present, Satan can access Heaven. We know from Scripture (Job, Revelation) that he speaks to God, reports in on his activities and makes charges against Christians about our sins. BY Rev 12, his time is up. He’s cast out and takes 1/3 of the angels in Heaven with him. And the Bible is clear that they are coming to torment and harm us once they are booted out. So I think that is pretty good evidence. Plus it is a future type of the flood: the waters came from the ground and from the sky. Once again judgment comes from the ground (the pit) and the sky (the angels booted from Heaven).
2. Mingle “with” seed of men — I have not seen any interpretation of the Aramaic that says “by” before. Where did you see that? Additionally, the Septuagint, also uses “with.” Here is an article from the author of a book on this specific verse. I think you’ll find it insightful.
http://www.douglashamp.com/part-eleven-mingling-with-the-seed-of-men/
3. Rev 17’s 7 Kings — Here is the only place I very, very strongly disagree with you. I do not find any warrant to interpret the “seven kings” of Rev 17:9-11 as nations or kingdoms. I know this is done time and time again but why? The verse says “Kings.” The Greek word means “Kings.” If the Bible wanted to say kingdom, John would have written Kingdom. I believe these verses are referring to individual men. Not to nations.
4. Pre-wrath rapture — I am very familiar with Rosenthal’s book even though I have not read all or even half of it. I think he has some things very correct but I do disagree with his timeline for the end times. I am not an advocate of any of the major rapture models, although I do think Rosenthal is right on when the rapture happens in Scripture.
To see a clear explanation of my thoughts on the rapture see here:

Thanks a lot for your reply. I read those links and will make it a point to pick up goodgame’s book as well as Douglas Hamp’s.
I see your point about 7 Kings vs. 7 Kingdoms. So, if it is in fact 7 Kings or rulers, do you understand the 5 that have fallen to have done so before John’s time or before the time of the rapture? I’ve heard it said that the 7 kings(kingdoms) are the 7 that have ruled over Israel. The 5 before John were Egypt, Syria, Babylon, Medio-Persia and Greece. The one that is at the time of John is Rome. The one yet to come being the Turks and the eighth being the kingdom of the Anti-Christ. Even with all this said we still have the issue of the Bible saying Kings and not Kingdoms. Based on Hamp’s article do you think it is plausible to say that the Kings are Demonic Kings behind these kingdoms? I am interested in how you understand this portion of scripture.
In regards to the opening of the Abyss in Rev. 9 due to the fifth trumpet. Do you understand the trumpets to occur after the rapture? Thus making this release of Demons and the mixing of their seed with man as part of God’s wrath on the Earth post rapture. Or do you understand those 7 trumpets or judgements to occur somewhere else in the timeline? It seems to me like you believe they come during the great tribulation, thereby placing them before the rapture. Am I understanding you correctly?
As for my comment that the original aramaic using the word ‘by’ instead of ‘with’, that was simply the footnote at the bottom of the page in my Bible. After reading Hamp’s article it’s pretty clear I should consider looking for another Bible, any recommendations? 🙂
I’m just starting to try and wrap my head around end times prophecy. Growing up everyone was either pre-trib or post-trib, and no one really ever had a very good reason why. I’ve read Rosenthal’s book and listened to an extensive set of sermons on it. Finding another pre-wrath timeline is very interesting. Any recommending reading? I’ll be checking out the blog frequently.
1. The 7 Kings — I think Hamp is partially right. I don’t think the Kings are actually demons themselves. I think they are real men who were demonically or satanically controlled. Notice in the Old Testament passages where Satan is being addressed directly (Is 14 and Ez 28) The Lord is initially addressing a “King” (in this case the Kings of Babylon and Tyre). But the things He is saying about them could not be describing a mortal person. So I believe those Kings were being supernaturally influenced by the devil.
And yes, I absolutely believe that 5 of those kings had already died by the time of the writing of Revelation. The 6th was alive at that time and the 7th was coming in the future (and I believe has already come and died). The 8th is the return of one of the 7.
For an explanation of this concept see here:
https://beginningandend.com/the-return-of-the-antichrist/
I also did a radio show on this. My radio page is blogtalkradio.com/beginningandend
2) Trumpets — I believe the trumpets occur after the rapture. The trumpets and vials are God’s actually judgments. I believe the horsemen are spirits that are released into the Earth throughout history.
As for books, I’d gladly recommend some.

And thanks for checking the site out. I will be updating it regularly. God bless.
Honestly, what Katy doesn’t know that she can still love God and listen to good music. She doesn’t even know that herself.
2nd last picture showing Katy Perry I hope it’s not false.
Hello Beginning & End. I really enjoyed your knowledge and break down of this video. However you need to be careful not to blaspheme The Holy Spirit. That is an unpardonable sin. It is clear in the bible about speaking in Tonques. There is no parable about it, it is stated very clear by Jesus about the promise of The Holy Spirit and what His nature would be about. We also see in the new testament after Jesus went back to heaven how The Holy Spirit was demonstrated through His power by the apostles. The word of God is clear and opinions is not allowed when it relates to God’s word.
Hi Pnk,
Thanks very much for your comments. Please note that I do believe in speaking in tongues. It certainly occurs at Pentecost and in Acts Chapter 10. However I believe in it as the speaking of real, actual foreign languages, which is clearly what occurred at Pentecost in Acts Chapter 2. There are some lengthier posts above in which I provide the verses to further explain. I hope that clarifies my position. God bless.
It is different in the denominations of various churches as to how “speaking in tongues” should or should not be believed and why. So I have read and studied the Scriptures so I am doing what God approves of. However, it still has happened in traditional “no, we don’t do that here” churches, and one where a friend was a pastor. The Holy Spirit began to move during the prayer time, and it was something that the people really didn’t know much about, at least past what they were taught. But it DID happen. It also grew the people’s relationship with the Lord.
I cringed seeing your made up “gibberish”—no, I don’t think you wrote down something from someone saying it—but people should be careful about saying what is or isn’t “real” spiritual th—such as tongues (but not limited to that). It’s biblical for people to speak in church and someone interpret it—but that’s one of the particular spiritual gifts of God. It’s usually to edify the church, and I have never opened my mouth and uttered “gibberish”. Interpretation is not one of my gifts, but what I’ve spoken has been interpreted and it has been according to the Bible. But we all can, if we would like, be baptized in the Holy Spirit, and we are all then able to pray to God with the language the Holy Spirit gives us. I pray in the Spirit for people I love, but I’m emotional because they’re sick, but the Spirit gives me the language to pray. There are various circumstances. Being baptized also gives us an increase in power to witness to others. There are many, many languages, and I think it’s important that when I pray, I’m not picking apart what it sounds like or trying to find out what it is. It’s what the Holy Spirit gave me, for my prayer between us, so it’s not really supposed to be something you approve of, no offense intended. I think it’s important to remember that we don’t know ALL languages, but God/Jesus/the Holy Spirit does.
There was a revival years ago, and I *think* it was Azuza Street, but I might be referring to the wrong one. Powerful things were going on, and people were hearing about it all over the place. So more came. It caught the attention of linguists, who study languages. They didn’t come for the revival, but they did realize that they were hearing many different languages they identified. I think there were some they didn’t, and they thought these had been used ? years ago (depends on which language it was), but were not anymore in common conversation. The Bible doesn’t say that you have to be baptized in the Holy Spirit to be saved. But it is biblical. So why go after those who are helped by it? And the interpretations you provided are definitely debatable. I don’t know what churches you attended, but that doesn’t really tell us anything, since I could go to certain ones and say that they demonstrated beliefs that I have decided to no longer have. I hope people will stick to the Bible and you’ll stick to the topic of this.
This song amounts to a demonic summons, an incantation, and pure witchcraft. Every young girl who sings the lyrics to this “song” is effectively calling on available and willing non-human entities to come abduct, rape, and inseminate her. She wants to “be a victim” , and is offering her body to demons as a storehouse an alien hybrid. It’s wicked…
1st corinthians 14:14 so about tounges? If someone made up a jibberish language that to them was saying something like; jojo = thank you God, would you say this is unfruitfull though the person speaking has there understanding attached? Or is this not in keeping with scriptur?… Just about the tongues, im with u on the video thing.
Just to clear up… Im not trying to imply that what you
Are saying isn’t true, on the contrary i think scripture is clear
On its “examples” of tongues being foreign language.
But i feel that it is fair to say that 1cor14:14 gives us an example of
types of tongues and there usage in particular as it pertains to God and
the person praying. The only wrong i see with people in church praying in what they
Call praying in tongues is thinking they are doing what the apostles were
doing in “edifying” others with the gospel of the truth. So in effect it seems they are doing (1corrin14:14) with a touch ie-having their understanding attached. Excuse my spelling. Blessings
Hey Me – No worries with the spelling. I got your points. I think the thing to remember is that in the Bible the word “tongues” means “language” as in a real language spoken by people on Earth. And an “unknown tongue” means a language that the audience does not speak. I do not speak Russian. So if someone spoke to me in Russian, it would be an “unknown tongue.” This what Paul is describing. It does not mean “making noises” or utterances. The whole point of tongues is that the speaker is to be understood.
Hence Paul saying that he would rather speak 5 words in the language everyone in the church spoke than 10,000 words that no one understood! And yet, in the church today, all over the world, people are making all sorts of noises and utterances that no one understands. And they are not speaking real languages but jibberish. Hence my saying it is not biblical.
The important thing to remember about these 2 chapters (13 and 14) is that Paul is rebuking the Corinthians. In fact the entire book of 1 Corinthians is a rebuke. This was a carnally-minded church that was making a number of errors. Paul is correcting them on this. One of the errors were people speaking in tongues for more of a show than for edification. Corinth was a hot bed of pagan Greek culture (where the Oracles at Delphi and the Sybilline prophetesses were known for their frenzied, excited utterances when making false prophecies, for example) and the Corinthian church was speaking tongues in this fashion and using it as a sign of personal status. All this was causing division in that church (see 1 Cor. 1:10-11; 3:1-4, 18; 11:17-22). So it is very important to see this in context.
Again, I know earlier I said there would be a study on tongues coming and then….silence. That’s my fault. But the study is done and will be up shortly.
Begining and end thanks for your speedy reply. I think
U did a nice job of clearing that up, it was very logical in
My humble opinion, so i more understand -more of the
Tone going on in the passage. If i may point out that the
Tongue speakers of today are of 2 groups… To my knowledge,…
1st group are the more obvious exaggerated “filled at the time” group.
The second group is more subtle though sincere (i feel), in that they
Don’t wait for others to watch.. ie its done in privacy.
1corr 14:26 last sentence: Let all things be done to the edifying of the church.
I suppose that paul is pretty clear in this chapter about how tongues. (And whatever we are passing off as tongues today) is clear. In the animal sacrifice days, things were to be a certain way.
In fasting, things must be done in an order.
So this is sound (pun intended) in my opinion.
Unto the unity of believers and those being called.
Thanks again, blessings.
Hey — Great job quoting verse 14:26. That pretty much brings it all home. Glad things are a little clearer now. God bless.
This is pretty far out in my opinion. I’m a strong believer of God and I don’t think God doesn’t want his followers to read into this to much it can peak curiosity to a point where your surrounded by it. And also Katy has somewhat of a Christian background both of her parents are priests although I also contradict myself when she denounced herself from the religion. I also believe that most of these pop stars have no idea what they are showing or talking/singing about.
In terms of tongues, I get what you’re saying, the holyspirit has reaffirmed to my spirit that Speaking in “tongues” as the the church is doing now is gibbering. But when I was at my last church, they spoke in tongues and someone interpreted, the message was not unbiblical, and the language didn’t sound like gibberish, but rather like Hebrew . What is your stance on that? (The congregation had no foreigners there) I’m l’m also interested in your thoughts on Katy Perry’s wide awake song….
Thanks for the article and the analysis of today’s music industry.
I wanted to comment on the Nephilim in the Bible. There are different interpretations for them.
One major interpretation says that the sons of God were direct human descendents of Adam and Eve and that they knew about God, the creator of the earth and Adam and Eve. Those descendents of Adam and Eve did not keep their allegiance and obedience to God; and they intermarried with other descendents that had rebelled earlier and were not following God. God was grieved with their actions and the spread of sin on the earth.
“When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 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.” 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.”
I got this excerpt from Wikipedia:
Offspring of Seth: The Qumran (Dead Sea Scroll) fragment 4Q417 (4QInstruction) contains the earliest known reference to the phrase “children of Seth”, stating that God has condemned them for their rebellion. Other early references to the offspring of Seth rebelling from God and mingling with the daughters of Cain, are found in rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, Augustine of Hippo, Julius Africanus, and the Letters attributed to St. Clement. It is also the view expressed in the modern canonical Amharic Ethiopian Orthodox Bible.
I also agree that satanic possession can appear like alien abduction. I think some people may have experienced it in this way. (the visitors of Whitley Strieber)
I don’t think Katy REALLY MEANT she sold her soul to the devil. She just meant she started doing music that is not gospel.
But I agree with the Alien thing. pop culture wants us to believe in aliens so bad! There’s something really wrong with that. all the phrofecies are becoming real
~sorry for the bad english~
Wow, I can’t believe what I just read. If your enough of a religious fanatic you can break down all songs, videos, TV shows, etc and find what YOU are looking for and come to any conclusion you choose. I can’t believe that youre going to take Katy Perry’s music and turn it into a satanic message. Most musicians don’t even write their own music and let alone direct, script and shoot music videos based on they’re own concepts.
The song is clearly about a person (a man) that is so amazing in her eyes that he’s out of this world. The song was written by 4 people and produced by 4 others. It’s great how you can cherry pick a song but why not analyze all her songs and how they tie together. Plus, this song is from 2011 and most of that album “Teenage Dream” if not all was not written by Katy Perry.
It’s sad to see religion used in ways to justify your personal opinion on another person to slander them and they’re personal achievements. Its bad enough people read into everything to find a message but to tie all back to the Devil and religion in so ridiculous.
Keep searching for the TRUTH and you’ll find that your local church is lying to you, the newspaper is hiding messages and pizza was created by witches.
If you mind your business, preach religion as a loving message and don’t push fear you’ll find yourself at peace but you keep digging for the truth you’ll forever be chasing ghosts.
Our God is a loving God, no doubt. But don’t forget, that our God also wiped people from the Earth in Noah’s time (I’m just referring to once instance here) because of people’s rampant wickedness. As far as I can observe from the author (authors?) of this website, is that they are trying to convey the loving message that salvation is available for anyone willing to accept that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of our Heavenly Father. That said, we all have free will at the end of the day, you may choose to accept that Jesus Christ is our Redeemer or not. You may choose accept that Katy Perry’s work is demonically inspired or not. 100% your choice, unfortunately, anyone who’s ever been on this website cannot claim ignorance on the day of Judgement and claim that you didn’t know the truth.
ps. I hate speaking for anyone but I’m going to go out on the limb and assume that the B&E writers are content in the work that they are doing and are “at peace” with themselves.
pps. The devil is in a lot of things, that’s why it’s continually referred to.

ps. I hate speaking for anyone but I’m going to go out on the limb and assume that the B&E writers are content in the work that they are doing and are “at peace” with themselves.
pps. The devil is in a lot of things, that’s why it’s continually referred to.
Neither exist, sorry. Leave Katy Perry alone pls. This article is literally ridiculous, all you crazy people need to get away, I’m sorry
Wow! At last I got a webpage from where I be able to truly get useful data concerning my study and knowledge.
Im very sorry for those of you out there who are truly blinded .you have to be a hundred percent dilliusional not to begin to notice music like this us no longer happy cutesy silly girly bubblegum pop music anymore.its not harmless cotton candy fun.not by a long shot.in Revalations God siad “and I will send a strong spirit of dillision to fall upon them”…..and sorry to say so but it is 100 % here.its nothing new its always been here it just wasnt always so obvious as it is right up in your face evwrwhere you turn.these celebrities and politicions have all sold thier souls they have been decueved by the god of this world who is a wimpy watered down version of Jesus Christ…..the real love and knowlegde of the one true God jahova jira is nit in them.them means not just these decieved and decieving muscisions ooliticions and celebrities but the reference to “them ” and ” they” describes the general public.the reference to “the world”describes the popular pool of opinion today….theres a reason its called “pop culture”.thunk about it.i do not believe fir one secind the people, if thy even are true people writing these responses truly think all this supposed bubble gum pop music and symolism is harmless.they all know exactly what thy are doing.it takes one who has truly lived for God and has loved God and the things of God to be abke to revognize all ths filth and feel frm deep within the pit of thier soul to be able to just stop and question what thy are promoting.it all lines up with bible prophecy …..but to you decieved ones God has truly sent a strong dpirit of dillusion upon them so i guess katy perry and all the others are exctly under tht spirit as well as all the sheeple who blindly follow the media and pop culture rigt over the cliff and into the sea .its so sad.may we all.pray we dont get too arrigant less we all be decieved as well.

Could you clarify what you meant by the angels that are chained up are the ones who had relations with humans???? In Isiaih ( I belive) it says that the fallen angels are the 1/3 of angels taken by Lucifer when he wa skicked out of heaven. i also don’t understand why there is so much on speaking in tongues. Could you explain why you have such a problem with it an dwhy you keep referring to it as unbiblical
