Evangelist Billy Crone claims a future mass disappearance of Christians will be falsely presented to the world as an alien abduction event rather than the biblical rapture.
"The world will see a mass abduction, but what they'll be told is it was from the aliens," Crone said. "The Bible calls it the rapture." He argued this deception aligns with end-times prophecy where Satan orchestrates a great deception to lead people away from biblical truth.
Crone contended that belief in UFOs has become a modern replacement for religious faith, requiring prior acceptance of evolutionary theory which he claims is a deception that began approximately 150 years ago. "More people believe that aliens have visited planet earth than that Jesus is the son of God," he said. He added that "UFO is the new religion for the 21st century."
The evangelist shared his personal background, saying he was involved in Satanism, drug addiction, and occult practices before converting to Christianity in 1993. He claimed this involvement led to demonic oppression and multiple suicide attempts before his religious conversion.
Crone argued that New Age practices including altered states of consciousness through meditation, yoga, or drug use are actually methods of communing with demons disguised as higher powers or alien entities. According to Crone, these practices open people to spiritual deception.
The evangelist claimed a global one-world government and religion are being prepared through New Age and Luciferian teachings that align with biblical prophecies of the Antichrist's coming kingdom. Crone said technological developments including AI programs like President Trump's Stargate initiative are accelerating systems that could enable the surveillance and control mechanisms described in Revelation.
Crone also pointed to Vatican astronomical research, claiming Vatican astronomers are searching for extraterrestrial life and preparing to accept alien teachings that would contradict Christian doctrine. "The seven-year tribulation is the worst time in the history of mankind," Crone contended, maintaining that only adherence to biblical truth can protect people from coming deception.
