Is it possible that an alien deception could be part of the end times? from Compelling Truth
Following the rapture, a seven-year tribulation period will begin (Revelation 6—12). Many wonder how the remaining people on earth will be deceived into not believing in Jesus after many disappear from earth in the rapture (1 Corinthians 15:51-58). Could an alien deception serve as an explanation?
Matthew 24:24 does suggest there will be a powerful deception that keeps most people from believing in Jesus despite the impact of millions of people disappearing during the rapture. However, the Bible does not define what this deception will be. With the rise of aliens as a popular cultural concept, it is not unthinkable that one of perhaps many views will be that aliens were responsible for the disappearance of many humans. In fact, recent films such as Jupiter Ascending describe a similar situation.
In addition, many conspiracy theories regarding aliens have been in existence for generations. It is only natural to suggest that at least one of the reasons that will be proposed for the disappearance of many people would be blamed on aliens. Much of this deception will come from Satan and the Antichrist as Paul notes, “The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). It is also possible that demons could pose as beings from another planet and spread deception. Some theorize that something similar occurred in Genesis 6:4.
