ON ALIEN BEINGS & UFO’s

 The notion that there are alien beings who have visited planet Earth is in vogue these days. Does alien beings fit into Judeo-Christian scripture?

First, we should question the science; What is the probability that life like ours exists on another planet in some solar system far away? That some kind of life may be probable but life even remotely like our kind is improbable! It so happens that planet Earth is the ideal location for human life, or for animal life to even exist. Change one thing about the Earth’s location, proximity to the sun, orientation, or even our Sun and Moon, and all probability ceases.

Would probability even allow highly intelligent beings to exist? If so, would those super-intellectuals be for good or evil? Considering that even good things can be used for evil purposes is frightening. What if the alien motive is for their “common good,” which by the way, is the motto of human civilization over most of the world? It would be for their common good because intellectually, our kind are egocentric, and the best bet is that other kinds would be as well.

With that said, my desire is that there is no other life beyond our planet. If there is fungus-type life, that would not be so bothersome because fungi cannot fly spacecraft. My greatest fear is that there might be viral life out there that could be brought back to Earth that would be the mother of all pandemics. The best way to avoid that type of encounter is to stay away from alien life whether going to it, or it coming to here. Because it is “alien” life, if it exists, would make them “its” and not privy to personal pronouns. Indeed, WOKE terminology might be appropriate for extraterrestrial life because that life may not be only non-binary but non-human.

Scientifically, it seems that life like ours, even similar, should not exist elsewhere because the probability of an exact replica of our Earth and solar system is beyond reason. Our “kind,” as scripture refers to us, was made for planet Earth.

Now to question that premise; “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Gen 1:1). The argument can be made that God made this planet “Earth” and everything beyond it. That is true. On the other hand, consider the Hebrew; God generated the samayim and the ‘eres. Translated literally, God generated the “lofty” and the “firm” (Strong 2006). That could be in reference to the Earth and what is above it, or it could be space and matter. So, with that not known, inquiring minds must look for more evidence since that can be interpreted; God created all things. Referring to the New Testament about the nature of Jesus, it was revealed to John crucial information: “All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3).

So, all that was made was made for a purpose. Therefore, if there are extraterrestrials, God’s purpose for them could be two: (1) for good, or (2) for evil. Angels themselves were made for good but because some of them turned evil, God allowed them to inhabit another “world” to use for His purposes.

Angels are not human. They are much different than mankind. A person asked Paul, “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?” The answer was, “Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands.”

That answer applies to two kinds of beings. Man(kind) and the “Son of Man.” Jesus is known both as the “Son of God” and the “Son of Man.” When the wind ceased at the command of Jesus, those who saw the miracle said, “Of a truth thou art the Son of God” (Mat 14:33). That does not mean that Jesus was sired by “Father God” but that He was genetically God, the Father, in the flesh; that He was identical, genetically, to Yahweh.

The same goes for the “Son of Man;” Jesus was identical in genetics to God’s creatures, Adam and Eve, and was of their kind as well. If there ever was an “alien creature” in this world, it was Jesus! Jesus admitted that He was an alien when He said, “My kingdom is not of this world… but now is my kingdom not from hence” (John 18:36).

We think of “kingdom” as only a place somewhere. A “kingdom” in taxonomy has great significance. A “kingdom” is the classification just below a “domain.” There are five kingdoms: animal, plant, fungi, protist and monera. Animals, plants, and fungi are well-known, but protist and monera are simple life cells. Jesus was admitting that His Kingdom was none of those; He was alien to this world. The world is inclusive of Earth and all material things. Jesus was confessing that He was what is called “Spiritual” but not worldly.

“Domain” is the highest classification in taxonomy. It is a realm, and for human beings, it is called, “Eukarya” and that we are excluded from Archea, and Bacteria — ancient micro-bacteria and bacteria. Eukarya have membrane-bound organelles, which simply means that the DNA are enclosed in sub-cells enclosed by membranes. In other words, our mitochondrial DNA is unique to all animals in this domain.

Jesus, as the gens of God, would have the glorious DNA of Yahweh in His chromosomes, but as the gens of Eve, the female “Adam,” would have the mitochondrial DNA of the woman in Him as well. Mitochondrial DNA is passed down through women whereas paternal is passed down through only men. In my book, On the Origin and Survival of the Species, I concluded that Y-chromosomes are of God and “X” of Adam.

The following is something significant: “Adam called his wife's name ‘Eve;’ because she was the mother of all living” (Gen 3:20). What does that mean? Literally, that she is the source of the genes for every person that ever lived. Everybody that ever existed has the mitochondrial-DNA of Eve. With that said, Adam was not mentioned as the “father of all living,” so it can be concluded that some thing else is!

That “Thing” is an “Image” (nahas) that translators likened to a “serpent.” Serpents are also of the same domain as Adam but that one “Serpent” was of a different “kingdom” not of this world.

In that kingdom are two sub-species: “good” and “evil” that describe the nature of each. Because our “father” is the Devil, humans have his lusts (John 8:44).

What does the Devil lust after? “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High” (Isa 14:14). Homo Sapiens (mankind) are like that; we all want to be what are not. Our problem, therefore, is loving ourselves as the “supreme” beings. If there were other beings out there, according to scripture, they would have the same nature as Satan. We should hope that none are out there in this realm.

That Eve is the “mother of all living” excludes any life beyond this realm. Angels are created beings without parentage (Mat 22:30). Hence, angelic gens are not passed down. As a rule, angels are immortal, at least until God no longer needs demonic angels to test the faithfulness of mankind. Nobody ever becomes an angel. The “new creatures” remain humans but without the need for reproduction, they are like good angels.

As it turns out, there are two kinds of beings in two different realms since Eve is the mother of all living creatures that reproduce. To burst the bubble of narcissists, Eve’s gens are not fully glorious humans like God produced. We are the “alien” beings, or at least an admixture of the gens of one demon-angel and humane creatures. It is us who are depraved, and we are the “aliens” that degenerated from God’s kind. They are not out there but here!

Mankind is in a “jail” of sorts, alone with our own kind, perhaps for punishment as the consequences of Genesis chapter three reveals. We are alien beings in a cage that God built for us, and us alone: 

²³ Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. ²⁴ So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. (Gen 3:23-24)

 The Garden of Eden is Paradise in another realm. Mankind was imprisoned on planet Earth to till the earth of this planet. The Tree of Life remains in Paradise (Rev 2:7) wherein exists only the glorious kind. The inglorious kind have been quarantined on this planet and planet Earth alone until the time for salvation from the tribulations of this realm.

Because we are prisoners on this Earth, to pass by the angels that guard are realm from entry into theirs, Jesus came to make men free. That is the ultimate truth that we must understand; our kind is the evil ones and to be set free to the realm of God from this Earth requires “rebirth,” a regenning, to change our depraved kind into another kind of being.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). What is truth? That we are the alien kind and need regeneration. No other beings but earthlings are imprisoned on any other planet, or God would have said so. Planet Earth is the “prison,” and most of its inhabitants die. Those who choose life are set free from this world.

There is neither another planet with life as we know it, nor is there a purgatory for the transition. Life is in another world and only the dead live here.

Will aliens come to save us? Don’t count on it because they have already come to kill us (Ephes 6:12). They are not from another planet but another realm. We fight beings that we cannot see. Things you see in the sky are either manmade or angels shape-shifting. You think not? Consider that Ezekiel saw unidentified flying objects that he identified for us: 

¹ Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne… 9 behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone. ¹⁰ And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. ¹¹ When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went. ¹² And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had… ¹⁶ And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them. (Ezek 10)

 If you have seen UFO’s, you have seen one of three things: (1) manmade vehicles, (2) Cherubim angels, or (3) visions from God of Cherubim.

I saw an angel as a youngster. I believe that I saw a real angel, but it could be that God provided to me a vision of an angel that was the “shadow” of what was real. Whatever it was, was real or a vision of reality. As such, I believe in angels and manmade devices much more so than aliens from another galaxy.

Angels can look like men, or they can look like the things that Ezekiel saw. Angels can shape-shift and be any THING they need to be to take eyes off God, or for that matter, to place eyes on God!

Now, let’s kick the “football” over the goalpost: Mankind, according to the Bible, is Adam’s kind. That is not the name of the person but the genus of the first man, homo. His sub-species is homo sapien — “wise man.” Indeed, man is the only upright species that displays some degree of wisdom.

“The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground…” (Gen 2:7). “Man” therein is ‘adam in the Hebrew. That is his genus. The “ground” in that passage is ‘adama.  You should see that Adam and the ground have the same identity and that the “ground” is “earth.”

The ground on this planet is “earth.” Thus, Adam is the Earth, and not by coincidence, the constituents of the earth are the same as in the human body and in the exact same proportion,

“God breathed life unto the ground.” He made life from the dust of the Earth, not from the dust of any other planet. Hence, according to God, life is on Earth and what identifies life is carbon.

Carbon is thought to be generated from vastly hot stars. Only on this Earth does carbon consist in the right amounts for life to be formulated! Hence, the Earth identifies living creatures. This planet captured the right proportion of carbon from the hottest stars for life to be as we know it.

Since man is a little lower than the angels, our constituents are different. Angels are of a totally different material than humans. Their matter, unlike ours, is glorious incorruptible material as ours should be when we become a changed creature, indubitably at the resurrection.

The “field goal” for my argument is that life and earth, specifically our “Earth,” is synonymous. UFO’s are certainly unidentified, but they may not be extraterrestrial in any manner other than heavenly sightings. They may not be “objects” at all but immaterial.

Enoch saw sightings as well; he was shown real objects flying in the world: “They brought before my face the elders and rulers of the stellar orders, and showed me two hundred angels, who rule the stars and their services to the heavens and fly with their wings and come round all those who sail” (Enoch 4:1). Enoch may have seen the cherubim that you have seen. He saw mechanical-like beings that defied gravity and moved according to their own physics. 

Is that what pilot’s have recorded in their videos? Perhaps. The choice is yours; in whom do you trust?
