Excellent piece, much appreciated! Even my dad thinks talk of the Nephilim is spurious, and I try to impress the importance of it on him but to no avail yet (he'll begrudgingly accept it a little). I've greatly appreciated talking the topic over with fellow Christians who actually use their brains!

Sadly you are right, the (Zionist) evangelical wing has turned out to be a poison pill to Christianity. Even so, I don't think it's so much aliens or even the destruction of Israel that will cause the great falling away: it is rather the loss of material things, suffering, hunger, persecution, that will really cause the great falling away. This rotten ideology of Darby and Schofield has sold countless millions on the idea of a pre-tribulation rapture where they aren't going to suffer or lose anything: they're just gonna get taken up once times get hard. I think the hits of "aliens" and the likely destruction of Israel will be big blows, but it is the beginning of persecution and failure of the rapture that will truly drive the great falling away.
