Aliens and the Bible

This page is not intended for any other reason than to prove that (aliens or no aliens) the Bible remains True and to stretch the reader's awareness and help them if they are interested in such information.
It can also help those who may be delving off into any sort of cult that teaches similar ideas to know that such cults are not of God. Fishin4Religion.com believes only in what the Bible says. Nothing more and nothing less.
In regards to aliens, I cannot think of any reason why God would put any other creature here when our solar system is designed specifically for us. Look into what is known as " the Anthropic Principle" for further info on why I believe that alone proves that there would be no other life in our solar system.
Outside of our Galaxy,
why not? God has always existed. And although it is possible-
It is not likely. But we probably will never know through science.
Man will probably never be able to travel outside of our Galaxy because God created this solar system to keep us here. So I don't believe we will ever know if there are Life forms in other Galaxies until we die. It is possible I suppose that God created and saved other Planets. And there is no time constraint for God because for him it doesn't exist. ( Dive into some reading on the Space-Time continuum, dimensions, Better start with something simple like a grasp on Einstein's Relativity /Special Relativity, and Flatland by Edwin A. Abbot, then try something by Stephen Hawking. Took me a while to follow that one!)
In any event, Enjoy...
ALIENS AND THE BIBLE
This is an important issue, because the
idea that there exists life on other planets can confront many fundamental
beliefs. If the existence of Alien life became fact, questions
would arise as to the origin of life, and orthodox Christianity would suffer a
tremendous dilemma. I am not trying
At a glance, it could appear that I believe Jesus is coming back in a spaceship (laughing)... I do not. There are indeed some extremists in the world that believe such things as Jesus is returning in a spaceship, etc. so be very careful with people who like this sort of topic for discussion. It is a sure sign of cult activity.
Most people think that
fallen angels, (if they exist), are spiritual beings, and can’t assume physical
form. Likewise, if aliens exist, they are physical beings. Most people also believe
that fallen angels are trapped in hell, whereas, if aliens exist, they are free
to roam about in outer space, or possibly other dimensions, or planes of
existence. But for me the similarities between the two do indeed strike at
least some sort of notability.
The fact of the matter is, fallen angels can assume physical form. Actually,
this is probably their natural state since they lost their former state of
glory even though we do see Satan going to Heaven in the Book of Job. The only reason they aren’t fully recognized in the world
could be because of the restraining power of the Holy Spirit
that prevents them. Wars are occurring in the heavenly realms that are
may be preventing them from doing so. Consider the 21 day war that was
fought between the warring angels, and the Prince of darkness, in order for
Gabriel to deliver his message to Daniel - Daniel 10:12-14 ...
The subject of the
existence of God, and especially the name of JESUS, is mysteriously absent when
reading books about people who claim to have been abducted by aliens. One would
think that the name of Jesus would come up often in these cases, since people
are being faced with supernatural terror they have no control over.
I know if I were faced with such terrors, I wouldn’t do anything BUT pray, yet,
I never read about this in alien abduction cases.
Scripture speaks of fallen angels penetrating the world physically by
interbreeding with humans, Genesis 6:4. Giants were the results of this union.
Angelic/ Demonic interbreeding with humans didn’t end with the floods of Noah,
though it characterized that period of time. There were giants in the world
after the flood also. But as Jesus said in Matthew 24:37-39, the end times will
be as the days of Noah were. If this is true, (which it is), then will this open
angelic interbreeding with humans be occurring the way it was back then?
Consider that the recurring theme in almost all alien abduction cases usually
has something to do with tests, and reproductive experimentation.
If
this interbreeding is reoccurring, (as it states in Genesis 6:4, "In those days,
and even afterwards…"), then why aren’t there giants in the world? Maybe, the
offspring between fallen angels and humans now aren’t giants anymore. They look
human now, but still have angelic DNA. The only difference between a cross breed
angel/human and a regular human might be found in certain key traits:
1.Inherently evil to an extreme degree - even
at a young age.
2.People who are psychically gifted, especially
if they don’t believe in Christ, and use their gifts for personal gain.
3.Highly intelligent, ambitious individuals with extreme selfish motives to achieve positions of power, wealth, and prestige.
Genesis
6 gives proof (if you believe the Bible) to the fact that fallen angels are
physical beings. How could spiritual beings mate with physical humans? I will
return to this key passage of scripture several times throughout this Web Site.
Back in the days of Genesis chapter 6, the
offspring between the "Sons of God" and human women were giants, (the Nephlim).
Anyone who wants to say that "The Sons of God" were human, (sons of the line of
Seth), are simply wrong, because people don’t have babies that just happen to
turn out to be giants! The "Sons of God" mentioned in Genesis chapter 6 were
GENETICALLY DIFFERENT than humans. They not only were giants, but they were also
inherently evil. Why? Because their progenitors were satanic beings, not
descendants from a glorified line of godly men, (as those who take the argument
that the "Sons of God" are descendants from the line of Seth).
Satan’s tactic back in the days of Noah
was to take over the world by physical brute force through interbreeding with
humans, and creating a master race of giants. Also included in this
interbreeding was the plan to corrupt the human genetic code, so that the
Messiah couldn’t be born. The plan almost worked. Probably if it wasn't for
the flood of Noah, the overwhelming population of giants would have taken over
the Earth. I know this all sounds too fantastic, but read Genesis chapter 6,
and make your own conclusions. This is a very bizarre chapter indeed!
I’ve already mentioned how fallen angels penetrate this world by physical means. What about spiritual methods? They most likely have the ability to travel in spiritual form, leaving their physical bodies at will, (or transforming their physical essence into a spiritual essence - which goes beyond my ability to explain), else, how could they possess people? A fairly recent New Age craze is Astral Projection. This is the ability of a person to be able to spiritually leave his/her physical body. Sound surprising? It shouldn’t. People with this ability are most likely either demon possessed, or have satanic gifts. If one is to believe it at all. I cant say that I have evidence either way.
Whenever demons try to wreak havoc in
peoples lives, they are vulnerable to their counterparts. Again, consider the 21
day battle that occurred in order for Gabriel to present his message to Daniel
in Daniel 10:12-14. These battles have been going on ever since Satan was cast
out of the highest heaven. The war in heaven mentioned in Revelation 12:7-8, for
us down here on Earth, in our time continuum, technically, isn’t over yet; I
will explain more on this later. [
In spiritual form, fallen angels seemingly manipulate people through projecting evil thoughts and ideas into their minds. One example of this is when Satan manipulated the Apostle Peter to tempt Jesus Christ to not be crucified, Matthew 16:23. In some cases, they can even possess people. I don't believe that a truly saved individual can be possessed. but as long as the Human Spirit is not indwelt by the Holy Spirit, it seems that perhaps there is an empty, spiritual place for dwelling temporarily in the tabernacle of the human body.
The next point: People tend to believe that fallen angels are trapped
in hell, (if they believe they exist at all), whereas, if aliens exist, they are
free to roam outer space, or other dimensions. In order to fully explain the
fact that all demons / fallen angels are NOT in hell, I first must clarify what
heaven, and hell are. It’s not as cut and dry as most conceive. I must also
explain that time, as we on Earth know it, is not the same in all these places.
Heaven consists of
3 parts: 1st heaven,
2nd heaven, and 3rd heaven. (No, I'm not a Mormon. Please hear me out). The
3rd heaven is specifically mentioned by Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:2. Logic alone
dictates that if there is a 3rd heaven, then there must also be 2nd, and 1st
heavens too. Without taking the dimensional/alternate planes aspect into
consideration, 1st heaven is the sky above the Earth, and 2nd heaven is outer
space.
Heaven, in general, is a term used to describe places, or states of glory, inaccessible to man, that are both higher, and more glorious than life on Earth. When speaking of places, the sky is mentioned as being heaven in several places in the Bible. One such reference is Luke 3:21-22, where it is stated that the Holy Spirit descended from heaven, which in this case was the sky. Another famous reference quotes the Tower of Babel reaching into the "Heavens"(of course this verse is mistranslated by most people, something I studied a lot in Prison).
The universe, or outer space, is also mentioned in the Bible as being heaven,
Genesis 1:8, Exodus:
32:13. The 3rd heaven, on the other hand, is mentioned by Paul. It isn’t
described as being either the sky, or outer space, but rather a place that rests
in the very presence of God and His Holy Angels. Unlike the 1st and 2nd heavens,
the 3rd heaven is not visible with physical eyes.
Speaking
of heaven as a state of glory, "The Kingdom of God" is mentioned in many places
in the Bible as being a level of glory. Instances of this are found in certain
key phrases:
1.Christians are in the world, not of it.
2.The Kingdom of God is at hand.
3.The body, (though physically cursed to
death), is the temple of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:19.
The
fact that Christians are saved, yet stuck in a cursed world in bodies cursed to
die speaks of a certain level of glory. We will physically die, yet, as faithful
Christians, we are saved. Therefore, we are not at the highest level of glory,
because we are still in cursed bodies. But when we die, we will be in the
presence of God. Furthermore, after the rapture, we will physically be in the
presence of God.
Once Christ was crucified, this broke the spiritual curse upon mankind, (for the curse of death was both a physical, and a spiritual curse). Being in the presence of God, (resting over the Ark of the Covenant), was no longer a fatal experience after the death and resurrection of Christ. This was signified by the ripping of the veil that separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple. The spiritual level of glory for mankind was finally taking a turn - mankind is now on the rise in glory toward God. The rapture will be the dramatic physical manifestation of the restoring of mankind’s return to a glorified state, to physically be in God’s presence once again.
So, now a new level of understanding
should rest upon all who read this. Readers should now know that heaven is both
a higher place, as well as a higher level of glory. You probably thought I
wandered completely off the topic, but NO, not at all. Keep reading!
What is hell? In general, hell is a place lower than the Earth, and less glorious.
In the Old Testament, hell is a lose translation of the Greek word Hades, or the Hebrew equivalent, Sheol.(<<~~click here before reading any further)
In the Old Testament, it
is not always referred to as a place of torment. Instead, it was considered to
be the place of
all departed spirits. It was
divided into three parts: The first part was Paradise, or Abraham’s Bosom. This
was the place of the righteous dead. The second part was the place of torment,
which is the Greek Tartarus, or Hebrew Gehenna. The third part was the great
Chasm that separated torment and paradise.
After
Christ was resurrected from the dead, he descended into Hades (Paradise - Luke
23:43, Ephesians 4:9), preached to the spirits trapped there, then released them
into God’s glorious presence. 1 Peter 3:19-20 suggests that He might have went
to the place of torment also - (not to be punished, but to preach to the spirits
trapped there), it mentions that He went to Hades to preach to the spirits that
were disobedient during the grace period of Noah's days. These spirits were
obviously not the righteous dead, but - evidently Christ gave them the grace of
his presence, and preaching, considering the fact that they didn't know what sin
was because they hadn't been given the law, (Mosaic Law), yet. But since
Christ's ascension sin has been shown to all so there is no more paradise.
In any case, Paradise, or Abraham’s Bosom,
was either completely deserted, destroyed, or it was translated into a higher
level of glory. Paradise wasn’t considered to be heaven in the Old Testament;
but in the New Testament, it is, 2 Corinthians 12:2-4.
Currently,
at the time of the creation of this Web Page, Satan and his minions are
inhabiting 2nd, and 1st heavens, and the Earth - in a limited form. Several
passages of scripture indicate that both these places are inhabited by both
God’s Angels, and Satan’s followers.
1.Satan was in the Garden of Eden.
2.Satan was present in heaven. How could this be? Revelation 12:7-8 mentions Satan being cast out of the 3rd heaven, (John was taken up to the 3rd heaven to see this).
3.Ephesians 6:12 states that there
are demonic forces in heavenly places. This is a direct statement to the fact
that there are Satanic forces in the heavens, but Revelation 12:7-8 states that
Satan is no longer in the 3rd heaven. Therefore, heavenly realms must refer to
the 1st, and 2nd heavens.
4.Many cases of demonic possession
throughout the Gospel, all demonstrate that not all demons are in hell.
5.One demon is trapped in the Euphrates
river, Revelation 9:13-14.
6.Other demons / fallen angels make war
against Gods angels that are delivering messages, Daniel 10:13-14. This passage
of scripture should reveal to us that the battle that began in the 3rd heaven
has carried over into the 2nd and 1st heavens. This fact is confirmed in
Revelation 12:3-4, where it states that Satan dragged a 3rd of the stars from
the sky and plunged them to the Earth while being cast out of heaven. Most
interpret this as a third of God’s angels; some interpret this to an even
greater extent. I think the possibility exists that what is meant by a 3rd of
the stars is in fact a 3rd of the stars…containing life…in the
universe! I'm not holding to this interpretation, but I do think it
is a distinct possibility. These stars might be planets, much like Earth, and
all have various levels of glory. Their inhabitants are Angels. Those that fell
are now considered fallen angels. As he dragged them from the sky and plunged
them to the Earth, so shall the arrival of the Antichrist be; characterized with
the presence of other worldly visitors. The battle that began in the 3rd heaven,
won’t be complete until the final battle, after the 1000 year rein of Christ
upon this Earth.
7.The time that Satan was cast out of
heaven and fell to the Earth - is the time mankind is in during the creation of
this Web Page. This passage of scripture, Revelation 12:8, contains a 2000 year
gap in time.
The
time between which Satan was cast out of the highest heaven and will finally
land full force in the Earth embodied in the Antichrist is not as quick for us
here on Earth as it was for John from where his view point was. He saw
everything happen in an instant - the things which have not fully come to pass
yet for us here on Earth.
As
Satan fell from the 3rd heaven, the war continued throughout the 2nd heaven, and
the 1st heaven. This battle will continue in the heavens, between God's
angels and Satan's followers, and will finally reach the Earth in the
physical plane of existence in the climax of the battle of Armageddon - and the
battle that takes place after the 1000 years of peace.
The
2000 year gap in time is also evident in the book of Job, when Satan is allowed
limited access into the 3rd heaven in order to present the case of Job to God.
Notice that with him in this passage of scripture are "The Sons of God". This
passage speaks of several things. As mentioned earlier, only here in the Bible,
and in Genesis chapter 6, is the term "Sons of God" used. This same exact term
proves that it was fallen angels that mated with Earth women in Genesis chapter
6, and not the sons of Seth.
The
second indication of this passage of scripture is that it shows that Satan and
his angelic followers were allowed to travel throughout the Earth, and then all
the way back up into the 3rd heaven to speak with God. Satan didn’t actually get
completely cast out of the highest heaven until Christ was crucified, I think.
This is indicated in Revelation 12:10-12, because Satan was in the highest
heaven presenting his accusations until this point. Therefore, Satan lost his
access to the 3rd heaven when Christ was crucified, yet still has full access to
the 2nd and 1st heavens, because the process of falling to the Earth is a battle
that is still being fought - for the time continuum of us here on Earth.
Taking all the facts of this Web Page into
consideration, now it is possible to piece the puzzle together. Take a deep
breath, and relax for a few seconds. Here's the main point I'm trying to
make with all of these facts:
They might dwell in other places, i.e., dimensions, but also have a domain in
the cosmos. But wait! If God’s angels, and Satan’s angelic
minions, are both in outer space, then what differentiates God's angels from
fallen angels? Consider the following:
1. Test the spirits. If they purport a gospel any other than that given by the
revelation of Christ, that God came to Earth in the person of Jesus Christ, and
gave His life for the forgiveness of sins, then they are deceiving spirits, 2
John1:7-9.
2. Secondly, might fallen angels need technology? They use it for the
same reasons humans do. "Wait a minute!" you may protest, "Aliens have
technology, and fallen angels have powers." How do you know this for sure? Whose
to say that aliens don't have powers too - as many abductees claim they do.
Why couldn’t fallen angels develop technology with all their genius, and
understanding of the laws of creation. After all, some of them are more
intelligent than humans, undoubtedly. Whatever they lost in their fall from
glory they’ve compensated with technology, just like mankind. What would make
them any different than us in this aspect? We were kicked out of the
Garden of Eden, (where we had no technology, because we didn’t need it). We then
developed advanced agriculture to supply food, modern homes to make comfortable
shelters, complex forms of entertainment, and many other things to make life
more pleasant. Why wouldn’t they do the same? Technology is basically a tool
that attempts to replace what glory we once had.
Don’t get me wrong. God’s angels might also use technology. The strange chariot of fire that took Elijah up in 2 Kings 2:11, and the contraption described in Ezekiel 1:4-28 might both be examples of angelic technology. In short, the aspect of technology shouldn’t even be an issue in determining whether demons and aliens are the same entities. And certainly my point is that none if these ideas after having been proven to be facts, would contradict the Bible.
To all who have read this Web Page, may the Spirit of the Lord rest upon you, and may this knowledge bless you, and keep you from deception. I sincerely hope this sharing of my research has intrigued you enough to consider doing your own research.
