“Take me to your leader.”

It is one of the oldest lines in science fiction. Spoken half in jest, half in awe, it assumes something fundamental: that someone is in charge, that behind the phenomenon there is an authority worth meeting, negotiating with, or submitting to.

But beneath the humor lies a far more serious question—one humanity has been asking since the beginning:

Who really has authority?

And just as importantly…

Who are we being led to?


1. The Assumption of Benevolent Authority

In popular culture, the phrase “Take me to your leader” usually implies a diplomatic encounter. The visitor arrives peacefully, seeking dialogue with the one in charge. The leader is presumed to be rational, advanced, and perhaps even morally superior.

This assumption is deeply embedded in modern UAP and “non-human intelligence” narratives.

We are told:
 • They are more evolved than us
 • They have moved beyond war and religion
 • They want to guide humanity into a higher stage of existence

In other words, they have leaders—and those leaders are wiser than ours.

But Scripture issues an immediate warning about misplaced assumptions:

“Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save.” (Psalm 146:3)

If this warning applies to human leaders, how much more should it apply to unknown, unverified, non-human authorities?


2. Leadership Always Reveals Allegiance

Every leader leads somewhere. Authority is never neutral. It always serves a purpose and answers to a higher allegiance.

Jesus made this explicit:

“No one can serve two masters.” (Matthew 6:24)

In the spiritual realm, there is no such thing as independent authority. Every power either aligns with God—or stands in opposition to Him.

When people speak of extraterrestrial or interdimensional leaders who oversee humanity, the critical question is not how advanced they are, but under whose authority they operate.

Scripture gives a sobering framework:

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6:12)

Notice the language: rulers, authorities, powers.

Hierarchy exists. Leadership exists. But not all leadership is good.


3. The Ancient Pattern of “Higher Beings”

Throughout history, encounters with “higher beings” often included claims of authority over humanity.
 • Ancient gods demanded worship
 • Spirits offered knowledge in exchange for loyalty
 • Fallen angels sought reverence and obedience

The modern UAP narrative is strikingly similar—except worship has been replaced with trust, and obedience has been reframed as cooperation.

But the structure remains the same:
 1. Establish superiority
 2. Offer guidance or protection
 3. Undermine existing authority
 4. Reposition humanity as dependent

This is why Scripture repeatedly warns against following beings that present themselves as mediators between God and man.

“For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5)

Any being that inserts itself into that role—whether called god, angel, ascended master, or alien—is making a claim it does not have the authority to make.


4. Who Do They Want You to Follow?

When experiencers describe encounters, a recurring theme emerges: the beings often discourage traditional faith, especially Christianity.

They say things like:
 • “Religion is a human invention.”
 • “Jesus was just a teacher.”
 • “You are evolving beyond old beliefs.”
 • “We are your true creators.”

These messages are not random.

They point away from Christ and toward a new authority structure—one where salvation comes through enlightenment, unity, or cosmic evolution rather than repentance and redemption.

Jesus warned that this would happen:

“For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” (Matthew 24:24)

Signs and wonders are not proof of legitimacy. They are tools of persuasion.


5. The Ultimate Leader Question

When someone says, “Take me to your leader,” they are unknowingly asking to meet the highest authority behind the system.

But Scripture already answers who that leader is in the kingdom of darkness:

“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers.” (2 Corinthians 4:4)

And Jesus Himself called Satan:

“The ruler of this world.” (John 12:31)

That does not mean Satan is equal to God—far from it. His authority is limited, temporary, and permitted only for a time. But it does mean that any system that operates in deception, rebellion, and self-exaltation ultimately traces back to him.

So the question becomes chilling:

If a non-human intelligence offers leadership, unity, and salvation—
whose leadership is it really?


6. Christ Was Already Taken to the Leader

Ironically, the phrase “Take me to your leader” has already been played out in history.

Jesus was taken before earthly authorities—religious leaders, Roman governors, and kings. Yet none of them held true authority over Him.

“You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above.” (John 19:11)

Jesus did not negotiate with darkness. He confronted it.

He did not ask to meet its leader. He defeated him.

“Having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” (Colossians 2:15)


7. The Only Leader Worth Being Taken To

In the end, humanity does not need to be taken to a cosmic council, a galactic federation, or an interdimensional hierarchy.

We already know who sits on the throne.

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” (Matthew 28:18)

That authority belongs to Jesus Christ—not temporarily, not conditionally, and not symbolically, but absolutely.

So when faced with claims of superior beings, advanced leaders, or hidden rulers, the believer’s response is not curiosity or submission, but clarity:

I already know my Leader.


8. A Different Response

So perhaps the correct response to the old sci-fi line is not spoken outward—but inward:

You don’t need to take me to your leader.
I already belong to mine.

And unlike every false authority that rises and falls,
His kingdom has no end.
