CHAPTER VISUAL

Zechariah 5 — The flying scroll brings judgment against theft and false oaths, and wickedness is confined and carried away to Shinar.

About this illustration

The chapter’s two visions are combined across one surreal landscape. The scroll bears no invented writing, the basket remains firmly sealed, and the winged women follow the vision without being presented as angels.

Scripture basis: Zechariah 5:1–11
  1. 1Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
  2. 2And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
  3. 3Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
  4. 4I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
  5. 5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
  6. 6And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
  7. 7And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
  8. 8And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
  9. 9Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
  10. 10Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
  11. 11And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

The New Alien Religion 2

In The New Alien Religion 2, Pastor Dean Odle argues that modern UFO disclosure, alleged nonhuman contact, and a growing “cosmic” spirituality are not religiously neutral. He presents them as an end-time deception designed to weaken confidence in Scripture, redefine Jesus as an alien emissary or ascended master, and prepare humanity for a counterfeit world religion. His strongest biblical foundation is the New Testament warning about seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, joined to the command to abide in the doctrine of Christ and test every spirit by its confession concerning Jesus.

The New Alien Religion

Pastor Dean Odle presents the modern UFO and extraterrestrial narrative as an emerging global religion rather than a neutral scientific disclosure. Surveying public claims about government disclosure, Steven Greer's contact movement, altered-state meditation, occult figures, and alleged recovered objects, he argues that the phenomenon is real but misidentified: in his interpretation, the beings are fallen angels and demons, not visitors from other planets. He places the warning under Jesus' commands concerning end-time deception and Paul's teaching about strong delusion.

The Great Deception

In “The Great Deception,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about Christian faithfulness. Drawing especially from 2 Timothy 3, John 3, Isaiah 7:14, Psalm 22, the teaching emphasizes that belief must be joined to an obedient life. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that doctrine and conduct must be tested by Scripture.
