The Great Deception Is Here, but the Church Refuses to See It
L.A. Marzulli has never shied away from controversy, especially when it comes to the supernatural, prophecy and the last days. In a recent in-studio interview at Charisma, Marzulli dove headfirst into what he calls the “coming great deception” — and according to him, it involves more than just curious lights in the sky.
“Whatever this was, was not from this earth,” said Commander David Fravor, a former F-18 pilot whose encounter with a tic-tac-shaped UFO over the Pacific was featured on Tucker Carlson Tonight in 2017. That moment, Marzulli says, was the first step on what he calls the “ladder of disclosure” — the slow, calculated release of information meant to prepare the public for something otherworldly.
But don’t call them aliens. Marzulli believes that what the government and media call extraterrestrials are actually interdimensional beings — and not the friendly kind.
“These are not extraterrestrials from Epsilon Aero Dani… These are interdimensional entities,” he said. “Just like the angel that pops in and sees Daniel thousands of years ago.”

Marzulli ties the rise in UFO sightings to biblical prophecy and end-times events. He references passages from Matthew 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13, where Jesus warns, “Do not be deceived.” Marzulli believes deception is now global, and that UFOs play a major role.
“This is what’s manifesting and it’s the dark side, it’s Hell’s Kitchen, it’s the machinations of the evil one,” he said. “And the church unfortunately, for the most part, is completely asleep.”
For many Christians, the topic of UFOs has long been dismissed as fringe or irrelevant. But Marzulli challenges pastors and believers to take another look. He has even polled church audiences, asking how many have seen lights in the sky or experienced sleep paralysis — and according to him, more than 30% regularly raise their hands.
“I brought my pastor the Rungs of Disclosure book and he sort of patted me on my head and gave it back to me,” one attendee told him. Marzulli called this response “ignorance and arrogance.”
Since the Fravor interview in 2017, Marzulli has documented what he says are now 20 distinct “rungs” of disclosure. One of the most shocking came from whistleblower David Grusch in a 2023 congressional hearing. Under oath, Grusch testified that the U.S. government has recovered “nonhuman biologics” from crash sites.
Marzulli’s concern is not just about flying saucers — it’s about what these entities represent. He believes they are part of an ancient, spiritual agenda that dates back to Genesis 3:15, the first prophetic promise of the Messiah and a coming war between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent.
“If we don’t have the proper exegesis of Genesis 3:15,” he warns, “when we get to Daniel, we’re going like, ‘Well, I don’t know what that’s talking about.’”
He also draws from 2 Kings 6, where Elisha prays for his servant’s eyes to be opened, revealing an army of heavenly chariots of fire — which Marzulli believes were supernatural craft. “If you and I were there, we’d look up and we’d go, ‘Oh my gosh, UFOs.’”
Pop culture, he argues, has helped normalize the idea of extraterrestrial life. From superhero movies to ancient alien theories, Marzulli believes a form of spiritual indoctrination has taken root — one that desensitizes people to the true nature of these phenomena.
“There’s been a long game that’s been played by the enemy,” he said. “Our culture has basically been… there’s some predictive programming that has been laid out.”
What’s the endgame? Marzulli says it’s full-blown deception — a spiritual trap designed to undermine faith and prepare the world for a false narrative.
“The church needs to stand up and say, ‘No, these are not extraterrestrials… these are interdimensional entities,’” he urged. “When they show up, it will change everything that we know — and do it in a nanosecond.”
So what should believers do with this information?
Marzulli’s message is simple: wake up. “UFOs are real, burgeoning, and not going away,” he said. And if he’s right, the church can’t afford to ignore what’s coming.
As more headlines emerge about government UFO hearings, whistleblowers and unexplained aerial phenomena, Christians must be discerning. Not everything is as it seems — and the enemy has long used deception to draw hearts and minds away from the truth.
Scripture calls believers to “test the spirits,” and that includes the ones claiming to come from the stars. In a time of confusion and chaos, the Word of God remains the only sure foundation.
Christians, stay vigilant. Know your Bible. And be alert to the schemes of the enemy — both in the news and in the skies.
