Evangelist Perry Stone claims US officials briefed pastors to prepare churches for UFO disclosure

By Jon Brown.

Perry Stone, a prominent Tennessee-based Pentecostal evangelist and founder of Perry Stone Ministries, claimed that his friend told him a group of pastors were recently briefed by U.S. officials to prepare their congregations for the disclosure of UFOs and extraterrestrials.

“I’m not going to go into great detail, but there were a large number of pastors that had been invited to go to a certain state to hear some men in the United States government and others share with them a concern that they had,” said Stone, who did not identify his source in his April 27 YouTube video, but claimed the person has “a great church.”

Stone, whose YouTube channel has approximately 925,000 subscribers, said his friend told him that some of those in the meeting “were telling us as pastors, ‘You need to prepare your people, and you need to get ready to answer them for what you’re about to hear being released.'”

“And some of it has to do with crafts that have been discovered that are not allegedly a part of our planet, and the materials they’re made of are not a part of our planet. Very strange, reptilian-looking creatures and other things that almost sound like something out of a sci-fi movie or an [H.G. Wells] book,” he added.

Stone went on to place the extraterrestrial phenomenon within the framework of his dispensational premillennial eschatology that features belief in a pre-tribulational rapture, an Islamic Antichrist and a third Jewish temple purified by red heifers.

Stone claimed the officials in the supposed meeting warned the pastors that disclosure of UFOs and extraterrestrial existence will cause some Christians to question their faith and some non-believers to seek out pastors for an explanation.

Stone speculated that “government fabrications” regarding an alien invasion will eventually be used to explain away the rapture, attributing the theory to his son, Jonathan, who last year tweeted about former President Barack Obama being “an advanced humanoid AI” who used questions over his birthplace to hide that “there was never any birth certificate at all.”

Perry Stone said the possibility of the government blaming the rapture on an alien invasion is “very possible” in light of events that have occurred in the past year.

“So, here’s what’s going to happen: you’re going to hear more about this in the future. The government’s going to start releasing these papers, information, possibly some video clips,” he said, going on to predict that such revelations will lead many to apostatize in accordance with 2 Thessalonians 2:3.

“However, it’s going to cause other people to question, what is going on? What is this about? Are these demons? Is this a manifestation of the fallen angels that came down to the daughters of men in Noah’s day? And is it being repeated in another form without the creation of the Anakim, the Rephaim and all that kind of thing?”

Stone, who said he has been teaching about such issues for decades, noted that such topics have since become mainstream and said he feels better “that I’m not the nut anymore.”

Stone concluded his YouTube video by urging his viewers to “like” his video and recommended the late Pentecostal minister Finis Jennings Dake’s annotated reference Bible, which attempted to reconcile the apparent antiquity of the Earth with Genesis by positing that a pre-Adamite world ruled by Lucifer existed before Adam’s creation. The teachings of Dake, who faced accusations of heresy, influenced numerous Pentecostal and Charismatic leaders, including Jimmy Swaggart, Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer and others.

UFOs, extraterrestrials, interdimensionals and related occult phenomena have increasingly emerged as topics of discussion on influential podcasts and among prominent officials in recent months.

Last month, former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., claimed a U.S. Army official briefed him when he was in Congress about alleged alien-human hybrid “breeding programs” taking place with kidnapped humans and supposed extraterrestrials captured from downed UFOs.

In response to Gaetz’s claim, Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., implied his former colleague was telling the truth, and said he was losing patience with the lingering secrecy around the topic. Burchett, who serves on the U.S. House Oversight Subcommittee that has been investigating UFO phenomena, claimed he was briefed on one issue in particular that would “set the Earth [on fire]” if it were made public.

In February, President Donald Trump directed the Pentagon and other government agencies to declassify information related to UFOs because of the public’s “tremendous interest.” Last week, he said the Pentagon is poised to soon release some “very interesting” files on the subject.
