Alien Apocalypse

The End—and a New Beginning!

By Karla Bowen HermanPublished 3 years ago 14 min read
A line in the sand has been drawn… Everybody has to choose which side they are on!

The End:

Amidst the chaos of the collapse of EVERYTHING all around the globe—religions, commercialism, all governments... I clasped the locket my beloved had given me so tightly in my fist, that it left a bloody imprint of a heart on my palm. I plagued myself with questions: “Is he already dead? Why wouldn’t he listen?” He had taken a stand against us… against ME! It broke my heart, but a clear line in the sand has been drawn, and he is on the other side, along with the majority of humankind.

I clasped the locket my beloved had given me so tightly in my fist, that it left a bloody imprint of a heart on my palm.

Millions and millions of people have died already, as society collapsed worldwide. The nations need a scapegoat to blame; and although innocent, my friends and I are it. The armies of every nation have surrounded me and about nine million others of us, around the world. We aren’t even trying to fight back! You see, we've been promised we wouldn’t have to fight, but just await alien rescue. Our instructions not to retaliate sounded so simple in the past; but I never realized how difficult they would be to follow—until now:

"You will not need to fight this battle. Take your position, stand still, and see the salvation…” (2 Chronicles 20:17)

Everyone who is gathered around their television sets (where there is still electricity), are laughing at us—joining in as the soldiers point, mock and jeer. But, we ignore them and continue looking upward, awaiting our promised rescue. Despite the soldiers' intimidating battle gear, little do they realize how insignificant their full military might will be against what is coming:

"The sons of mankind are a delusion. When laid together on the scales, they are lighter than a mere breath.” (Psalm 62:9)

Their laughter of derision has abruptly stopped, changed to nervous whispers. Dark storm clouds suddenly gather, lightning begins to strike, and thunder begins to roar—followed by a silence so deafening, you could hear a pin drop. Now, ALL eyes are gazing upward, transfixed, as the clouds begin to part. A sudden gasp is heard all around the Earth! The clouds have rolled away to reveal a (formerly invisible) alien army above us! There are millions and millions of them! Their dazzling brilliance leaves no doubt that the alien Sovereign of the Universe has heard our outcry and is ready to replace this system of things. Earth’s armies begin to tremble (as do the evil aliens amidst them, who have also suddenly become visible). As for those of us caught in the middle? A Victory Song can be heard... I’m not sure who started it, but our voices become stronger and louder, as we all know the words. (Somehow, I’m confident the same song is being sang in different languages, all around the globe.) My friends and I begin to sing, with tears of relief filling our eyes.

All eyes are gazing upward, transfixed, as the clouds begin to part.

Meanwhile, in their panic to escape, all around us the soldiers of all nations drop their useless weapons and begin to turn on one another. Those watching on TV begin to scream in terror and rush about, seeking a safe place. As sirens begin to wail world-wide, terror-struck humankind seek ANYwhere to hide—but there is nowhere to run. The Sovereign of the Universe informed us in advance that not even those fleeing underground or attempting to fly away in jet planes, will get away:

"No one who flees will get away, and no one trying to escape will succeed. If they dig down into the Grave, from there my hand will take them; and if they go up to the heavens, from there I will bring them down.” (Amos 9:1-2)

As I sing, awaiting the impending battle cry from above, my mind flashes back to how "The End" began...

Evil alien influences contributed to the downfall of the world, as we knew it:

When did everything begin to crumble?” It was only recently that I learned changes for the worse began to go into hyperdrive way back in the second decade of the 1900's, after an invisible war. It was invisible because the war wasn’t among humans… Aliens were the ones at war far, far away across outer space, in a place called “Heaven”:

"And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them any longer in Heaven.” (Revelation 12:7-8)

Little did most realize how humankind would be affected for the worse, after the losers of that war were kicked out of Heaven; and confined to the vicinity of Earth:

"So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.” (Revelation 12:9)

The greatest alien in the universe, however, is a loving one. He has the power to see into the future! Long, LONG in advance, this Sovereign of the Universe gave humans a warning of how this war—even though so far away—would affect humankind greatly; so we could be prepared when the evil influences were at our very door:

"Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you…" (Revelation 12:12)

Because these evil aliens have the power of invisibility, most humans didn’t even realize they were among us! In hindsight, it’s clear their first major effect on Earth was World War I. 22 million were killed and another 23 million were wounded—for no good reason! Despite being promoted as “The war to end all wars," World War I was only the beginning of humankind succumbing to the influences of evil aliens. Unimaginable, unspeakable atrocities were committed in the Holocaust of World War II—especially against anybody who supported the kind Sovereign of the Universe; whom these evil aliens were rebelling against—and wanted to usurp. They could no longer wreak havoc up in Heaven because they were banished from their home; so the only way to hurt the Sovereign, was to hurt ones he loved here—humankind:

“...having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.” (Revelation 12:12)

Soon, no aspect of life was free from being infected by evil. Plagues and pandemics were only the beginning… However, the Sovereign of the Universe promised he would step in to help, for the sake of rightly-disposed humans who refused to go along with the evil. How? The evil aliens—along with this system of things they were controlling from behind the scenes, has to be destroyed! Our planet will survive, but the infection of evil will be wiped clean; in order to bring relief to the animals—and for a minority of humans our alien Sovereign has invisibly marked worthy of survival:

"But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time came… to bring to ruin those ruining the Earth.” (Revelation 11:18)

Religion was the FIRST to go down:

False religions were deserving of destructions the most of all!

Most humans were stunned that religion had been badly infiltrated… How shocking to so many, that religions were deserving of destruction the most of all! But, just think of all the horrors that have been committed throughout human history under the guise of false religion… No wonder they were the first to go down! Anybody caught up in such religions were warned long ago, to get out of them. It’s too bad so few bothered to listen:

"And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues. For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind.” (Revelation 18:4-5)

What was the goal of the evil aliens who successfully influenced the clergy? To direct humankind AWAY from the Universal Sovereign and give incorrect instructions. What a shock for devoted followers to learn the hard way that their religions' very popular teachings were actually misleading them in the wrong direction! All should have known; we were warned:

"And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps disguising himself as an angel of light. It is therefore nothing extraordinary if his ministers also keep disguising themselves as ministers of righteousness. But their end will be according to their works.” (2 Corinthians 11:14-15)

We were even told in advance HOW the Sovereign of the Universe would bring down religions! He simply planted the thought into the minds and hearts of all of Earth’s government leaders to be compelled into the same world-wide goal—to destroy all those religions. The government leaders didn’t realize at the time, the REAL reason why they all suddenly were so compelled:

"For God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought, yes, to carry out their one thought…” (Revelation 17:17)

In fact, one minute the governments were patting themselves on the back, proclaiming a false proclamation of “Peace and security;” but the next minute they were destroying religion:

"Whenever it is that they are saying, “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly on them, just like birth pains on a pregnant woman, and they will by no means escape.” (1 Thessalonians 5:3)

Things were so dire for religions, you couldn’t even get married in a church anymore! This, too, was foretold:

"No light of a lamp will ever shine in you again, and no voice of a bridegroom and of a bride will ever be heard in you again…” (Revelation 18:23)

Commercial system was next to go down:

Making money off of false religion... All that commerce came to a screeching halt!

It happened so quickly, the world changed overnight... After the destruction of false religion, everything we took for granted started crumbling, world-wide. It surprised me how much the merchants of the world had depended upon religions to help them make money. Yes, our economy had been infiltrated by evil influence as well; and commercialism was next on the chopping-block. There were a lot of different careers and tradesmen making money off of religion… All that commerce came to a screeching halt! All the merchants Earth-wide mourned; but it was really their unquenched greed, that broke their hearts:

“Also, the merchants of the earth are weeping and mourning over her, because there is no one to buy their full cargo anymore...” (Revelation 18:11)

But, merchants dared not attempt to stop the governments’ decision to eliminate false religion, all over the world; they kept their distance, as was foretold:

“The merchants who sold these things, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of their fear of her torment and will weep and mourn, saying: ‘Too bad, too bad, the great city, clothed with fine linen, purple, and scarlet and richly adorned with gold ornaments, precious stones, and pearls, because in one hour such great riches have been devastated!’ (Revelation 18:15-17) "Too bad, too bad, the great city, in which all those who had ships at sea became rich from her wealth, because in one hour she has been devastated!” (Revelation 18:19)

What a snowball effect! Inflation had already been bad at the time, but prices literally skyrocketed, all over the world—even for our very basic needs! Also, necessities became so scarce... It took an entire day's wages just to buy the very basics—that is, if you could find them amidst the shortages:

“A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the olive oil and the wine.” (Revelation 6:6)

Natural disasters made everything worse, just as we’d also been warned:

“There will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.” (Matthew 24:7-8)

Eventually, everybody became unemployed as one business after another shut down. Crime has been out-of-control. It seemed like alarms are constantly going off:

"That day is a day of fury, a day of distress and of anguish, a day of storm and of desolation, a day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick gloom, a day of horn and of alarm signal, against the fortified cities and against the high corner towers.” (Zephaniah 1:15-16)

Thankfully, we know it won't last long—our Universal Sovereign won't let it:

“For then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again. In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones, those days will be cut short.” (Matthew 24:21-22)

Finally, all the governments collapsed:

All human governments need to be replaced—permanently; by a good alien King who will rule over the entire world.

As life as we knew it was collapsing all around us, people everywhere were running to the mountain-like organizations of their governments to help them—but they couldn’t. It started when Social Security checks that many people depended on stopped coming—overnight! If you called the police, the fire department, or an ambulance, nobody would respond! Even the leaders couldn’t find help for themselves:

"Then the kings of the earth, the high officials, the military commanders, the rich, the strong, every slave, and every free person hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. And they keep saying to the mountains and to the rocks: “Fall over us and hide us…” (Revelation 6:15-16)

Money couldn’t get the rich any help… In fact, money became worthless and useless:

"They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will become abhorrent to them. Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them…” (Ezekiel 7:19)

Like an evil puppet-master, it turns out that evil aliens had been pulling the strings behind the scenes of every single government on Earth! People who had treated politics like their “religion" were sorely disappointed when the very politicians they put trust in, couldn’t help them whatsoever:

“Do not put your trust in princes nor in a son of man, who cannot bring salvation.” (Psalm 146:3)

When did the governments first start to crumble? When humankind became polarized against each other... Unwittingly, they were embracing evil alien influence when they acted that way. In hindsight, it was so true that “United we stand, divided we fall!" Of course, the Sovereign of the Universe HAS to step in, if any of humankind is to survive:

“They will not stick together, one to the other, just as iron does not mix with clay.” (Daniel 2:43)

"But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be… not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce… betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride… and from these turn away.” (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

All should have understood the necessity of all human governments needing to be replaced—permanently; with a good alien King that will rule the entire world. This appointee will rule it BETTER, the way the Universal Sovereign has always intended for humankind. He warned us, and that day has finally come upon us:

“In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever.” (Daniel 2:44)

One final attack by the evil aliens:

There are a group of people in every nation whom the evil aliens HATE. Why? Because they have been following the Sovereign of the Universe. I have learned from them and am now among those people. However, heartbreakingly, my beloved who gave me this locket, is not. He chose to join the ranks of a coalition of nations (all under evil influence), who came against us, to do us harm. A clear line in the sand has been drawn… Everybody has to choose which side they are on:

"Indeed, a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.” (Matthew 10:36)

“Here I am against you, O Gog… with all your army… from the remotest parts of the north, along with all its troops—many peoples are with you… ‘In that day thoughts will come into your heart, and you will devise an evil plan…” (Ezekiel 38:3-6; 10)

But, we were promised a rescue from the alien Sovereign of the Universe; and at the very last moment, just when we were completely surrounded and it appeared to our enemies as if all our hope was lost, our rescue has come!

Will there be any survivors?

Yes! In fact, the Sovereign of the Universe foretold a celebration that would take place in every nation, with a great crowd of survivors symbolically waving palm branches to signify: “Peace, at last!" Soon, all of us who are granted survival, will be shouting praises of thanks for our rescue:

"After this I saw, and look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues… Who are they and where did they come from? These are the ones who come out of the Great Tribulation… They will hunger no more nor thirst anymore, neither will the sun beat down on them nor any scorching heat…” (Revelation 7:9-17)

The Universal Sovereign will ensure that all tears are wiped out of the survivors eyes, to be replaced with amazement at a life SO wonderful, we can’t even IMAGINE what he has purposed for us—what everlasting life on Earth will be like… You see, alien blessings are not yet even in our ability to comprehend! (This is my favorite promise of all, for it has helped me to endure the crumbling of this old system of things):

“Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, nor have there been conceived in the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9)

But, we do know that survivors won’t live up in Heaven, as those destroyed religions promoted. THAT is for the aliens. Instead, we will help make the Earth into the paradise conditions that the Sovereign always intended for humankind—as well as bringing relief for the animals:

"The righteous will possess the Earth, and they will live FOREVER on it.” (Psalm 37:29)

"In that day I will make a covenant for them with the wild animals of the field, and with the birds of the heavens and the creeping things of the ground; I will rid the land of the bow and the sword and war, and I will make them lie down in security." (Hosea 2:18)

But first, the wicked—along with the evil aliens whom they follow, have to be torn away from this Earth; before we survivors can have a happy future—without them ruining it:

"For only the upright will reside in the earth, and the blameless will remain in it. As for the wicked, they will be cut off from the earth, and the treacherous will be torn away from it.” (Proverbs 2:21-22)

As this system of things ends, I look firmly ahead to a bright and better future; a new beginning that will triumphantly rise from the ashes!

A New Beginning:

My reflection and our song is interrupted by the sound of a battlecry from the good aliens above us. As they come thundering down to our rescue, I tear the locket away from my neck and throw it to the ground as far away and as hard as I can; where it is trampled into oblivion. It is time to let go of the past and ALL those who support it—he is my beloved no more... As this system of things ends, I look firmly ahead to a bright and better future; a new beginning that will triumphantly rise from the ashes!
