Daily Word: Aliens in the Bible: Who Are They and What Do They Want According to Scripture?
Aliens in the Bible: Are They Supposed to Be Here?
Many wonder if the Bible speaks of aliens, creatures from other worlds, or beings beyond our understanding. While the term “alien” doesn’t appear in Scripture as it does in modern science fiction, the Bible does mention strange beings that some interpret as extraterrestrial.
Are they abominations? Are they condemned? Let’s explore what the Bible says about these beings and their place in God’s creation, especially in connection to the Antichrist, who is described as a deceptive shape-shifting figure not of God.
Other Worlds in the Bible
The Bible references “worlds” in Hebrews 11:3 (KJV):
“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
This verse suggests that God created multiple realms or worlds beyond our immediate understanding. However, the Bible emphasizes that Earth was specifically given to humanity to rule over. Genesis 1:28 KJV states that God gave humans dominion over the Earth, commanding them to subdue it and govern all living creatures.
This dominion implies that if any beings or entities, such as aliens or creatures from other worlds, appear on Earth and contradict God’s plan, they are not supposed to be here.
The Antichrist: A Shape-Shifter and Beast Not of God
The Bible gives a powerful warning about the Antichrist, described as a beast from the sea who demonstrates shape-shifting abilities. Revelation 13:1 speaks of this “beast” rising from the sea, with multiple heads and horns, symbolizing its power and deception.
This beast, often associated with the Antichrist, is not of God but empowered by Satan to deceive and lead people away from the truth. The Anit-Christ beast will appear as a man with powers from Satan.
The Antichrist’s ability to shift forms and deceive mirrors the demonic tactics of false appearances, as seen in 2 Corinthians 11:14 KJV, where Satan himself can “transform into an angel of light.” These abilities highlight how evil forces can appear as something good, attractive, or otherworldly to manipulate humanity.
The Bible warns that the Antichrist will use signs, wonders, and deceit to convince people that he is a savior, but in reality, he is leading them toward destruction. This shape-shifting nature aligns with theories that some “aliens” could be spiritual deceivers, presenting themselves in ways that manipulate and frighten humans.
Are Aliens Abominations or Condemned?
While the Bible doesn’t directly condemn “aliens” in the modern sense, anything that contradicts God’s design or leads people into false worship is considered an abomination.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 KJV condemns practices like spirit communication, sorcery, and idolatry, warning against entities that could deceive. If aliens, like the Antichrist, lead humanity away from God or encourage false beliefs, they would be condemned as demonic forces.
Shape-Shifters in the Bible
The concept of shape-shifting is not foreign to the Bible. Demons and fallen angels have long been described as deceptive beings that can take on various forms to deceive and manipulate humans.
The Bible emphasizes that Satan and his demons can disguise themselves in different ways, often appearing as something good or powerful to mislead people. The Antichrist is the ultimate example of this, a figure who pretends to be the savior of the world but is, in fact, a tool of destruction.
If so-called “aliens” are present on Earth, they may be these shape-shifting spiritual forces. They could present themselves in different forms—whether as extraterrestrials, apparitions, or even human-like figures—to create confusion and fear.
The Bible urges believers to test the spirits, as 1 John 4:1 KJV instructs, to discern if these beings are from God or if they are leading people astray. In contrast, the bible states that angels may appear as human figures to humans.
Hebrews 13:2 (KJV), which says:“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”
This verse encourages kindness and hospitality, reminding us that sometimes we may be serving or interacting with angels without even knowing it.
Three Biblical Examples of Possible “Aliens”
- Nephilim (Genesis 6:1-4 KJV): These mysterious giants were the offspring of the “sons of God” and human women. Some interpret the “sons of God” as fallen angels who mingled with humans, producing a race of beings that were neither fully human nor divine. This act was condemned by God, and it led to the Great Flood, which wiped out the Nephilim.
- Angels at Sodom (Genesis 19:1-11 KJV): When angels visited Lot in Sodom, the people saw them as strange outsiders. These angels had supernatural powers, such as blinding the men of the city to protect Lot, which might have made them seem “alien” to human eyes. Their appearance and abilities were far beyond what the people could understand.
- Ezekiel’s Vision (Ezekiel 1:4-28 KJV): Ezekiel describes a vision of strange creatures with multiple faces and wings, accompanied by flying wheels full of eyes. Some have interpreted this as an encounter with extraterrestrial beings or advanced technology, though biblical scholars generally view this vision as a symbolic representation of God’s divine presence.
What Do Aliens Want?
If we interpret these beings as spiritual entities—either angels or demons—their intentions become clearer. Angels serve God, acting as His messengers and protectors (Hebrews 1:14), while demons and the Antichrist seek to deceive, destroy, and separate humanity from God.
(1 Peter 5:8 KJV). Any “alien” encounter that leads to fear, confusion, or false worship could be seen as the work of these shape-shifting demonic forces.
The Antichrist, in particular, seeks to mislead the world into worshiping him as a god. He will use signs, wonders, and terrifying power to gain control, much like how some “aliens” are portrayed in modern encounters. The Bible warns that those who follow the Antichrist will be led away from God and into eternal separation from Him.
Are Aliens Supposed to Be Here and Are they Real?
Given that God gave humanity dominion over the Earth, any presence of “aliens” or beings from other realms could be viewed as an intrusion. Hebrews 11:3 KJV suggests that while other worlds or realms may exist, Earth was specifically framed for human habitation and dominion.
If beings like the Antichrist, demons, or shape-shifting “aliens” appear, they are not part of God’s original plan for humanity. Instead, they are interlopers, seeking to disrupt the order God established for mankind.
While the Bible does not explicitly mention aliens in the modern sense, it does describe beings like angels, demons, and the Antichrist, who may be perceived as otherworldly or alien. These beings may take forms that are unfamiliar or frightening to us, but they serve either God’s purposes or the devil’s schemes.
If “aliens” are present, they may not be extraterrestrial but spiritual entities—either angels sent by God or demonic forces, including the Antichrist, seeking to deceive. As the Bible teaches, we are called to remain vigilant, discerning the spirits and standing firm in our faith.
Reflective question: Could alien sightings and encounters be modern manifestations of spiritual warfare, as depicted in the Bible with the Antichrist and other demonic forces?

Romans 10:9-10 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation
