In my novel, The Great Harpazo Deception, I postulated that the sudden catching away of millions of Christians to be with the Lord in the air would be explained to those left behind as abduction by extraterrestrials. That scenario would not be hard to sell because I believe that the skies at that time indeed will be covered by UFOs. Why will these people be taken away to safety and what will happen to those people left behind? I try to explain what might happen in my sequel, Invasion: Israel.

The Bible calls the time of the end a time of nation rising up against nation, famines, pestilence, and earthquakes (Matthew 24:8). While I believe that we are in this time of birth pangs now, what the Bible calls the beginning of sorrows, it will only intensify exponentially after the Christians are removed to a place of safety in the Father's House in heaven where there are many mansions. Jesus told his followers when He left 2000 years ago that He was going to prepare a place for His followers in his Fathers house and that He would come for them (John 14:2-3). In this harpazo or catching away or rapture, He will come for his bride (the body of Christ) and take her to safety. Those left behind will suffer the horrible time of Jacob's Trouble (Jeremiah 30:7) or the seven years of the Tribulation (Matthew 24:21) when all hell will break loose on earth.

In both of my novels, it is the fallen angel, extraterrestrial Azazel who helps Satan carry out one of the greatest deceptions in the history of mankind. It was his demonic cohorts that cohabited with earthly women and produced the fallen nephilim offspring (Genesis 6:2, 4). They were punished for not keeping their own domain and abandoning their proper abode and were banished in eternal bonds in darkness for this seeking of strange (human) flesh (Jude 6-7).

This concept of extraterrestrial, fallen angels and their lust for so called strange flesh also manifests itself in my novel Invasion: Israel. With the Christians gone, the world is beset by two smallpox terrorist attacks, one aimed at Tel Aviv and one at Los Angeles. Israel nukes Baghdad and Damascus. The Statue of Liberty and the Hoover Dam and the Washington Monument are all blown up. Chaos reigns. Many in the federal government are gone and anarchy runs rampant. When you throw in massive earthquakes and famines and pestilence, it is clearly apparent that all is coming undone.

In the midst of this chaos, there appears on the scene a scientist, Dr. Sam Armilus, who runs Biogenetics Lab in Switzerland. He will find himself taking center stage in the world. According to the Bible, he will not only be a Jew but also will have no regard for the desires of women (Daniel 11:37). Jewish extrabiblical midrashim, like Midrash Gellulah, describe this antichrist figure as having blond almost yellow hair, a pointed head, poor vision (I gave him thick bifocals), and a crooked finger. He also would very charismatic and able to manipulate people for his own sinister ends.
