This is a subject of controversy. There are many people in this world who believe that aliens are going to come and abduct people. They believe this is what the Rapture is about. To believe so is to believe in a lie. Such as in the case of "The Heavens Gate Cult". I found this website http://www.answers.org/cultsandreligions/hgate.html about, "The Heavens Gate Cult" By Gretchen Passintino.

This particular group of believers were lead by a man named Marshal Applewhite and his Partner Bonnie Nettles in the 1970's. Bonnie was a nurse and Marshal was a Mental Patient. Their aliases were, "Bo and Peep, Do and Ti " These two individuals deceived many people into believing that they were the two witnesses from the book of revelation. Like Jesus, they requested that their members renounce all material things.family associations and follow them.
Here is a quote from, "The Heavens Gate Cult" By Gretchen Passintino. "Bo and Peep (Do and Ti) believed that they would fulfill Rev. 11 by being killed, lying dead in the street for three days, and then being "raised from the dead into the space ship, along with their followers. As the day for their "sacrifice" approached, they preached that their death and "resurrection" would prove the truthfulness of their preaching."
The end result was that many of their followers believed their lies and committed suicide together. They, "Marshal and Bonnie" denied being false prophets. But in the end; there were no resurrections only death.
David Karesh was another false prophet who took as many as 80 people with him when he passed away. See the link http://www.mahalo.com/david-koresh.
Jim Jones was another man who professed himself a prophet. Here is quote from, http://www.culteducation.com/jonestown.html by Rick Ross "On November 18, 1978 912 followers of American cult leader Jim Jones ("Peoples Temple") died in a remote South American jungle compound called "Jonestown" in British Guyana. Some members were shot, others were forced to drink poison, but most willingly participated in what Jones said was an act of "revolutionary suicide."
Another quote from http://www.culteducation.com/jonestown.html by Rick Ross, "Affidavit June 15th 1978, Deborah Layton-former temple worshiper and James Town resident, Quote,".Ms. Layton advised that "Rev. Jones...claimed that he was the reincarnation of...Lenin, Jesus Christ [and]...had divine powers."
There will be many many many false prophets before the coming of Jesus Christ. Don't follow them or do as the tell you. Especially if they say something about taking your own life to fullfill a prophecy.
Scripture says that even the very elect will be fooled and fall prey to the lies of false prophets.
Matthew 7:15
Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mark 23:22
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders to seduce , if it were possible even the elect. (Hundred and Forty Four Thousand))
And referring to the coming of Christ.
Mark 13:30 says,
Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till these things be done. (Referring to the signs of his coming) See my first blog.
Don't be fooled by their lies. Read your bible and study it throughly so your not deceived by such people. You will know them by the fruits that they produce.
