UFO’s Were a Thing of the Past
Many
people are under the misconception that unidentified flying objects are a
relatively recent
phenomenon. And, what most people do not realize is that the Bible
contains numerous references to
such ariel phenomena. A more careful scrutiny of other ancient writings
reveals that UFO’s were truly a
thing of the past. Native American cultures of Central and South
America speak of visitors from the sky
who descended and walked on the soil of our earth for a while,
teaching and directing them.
118
Those
indigenous to North
America describe the flying apparatus of their god as a “thunder bird,”
conjuring up
vivid imagery of a great, flying “bird” roaring across the sky
― their deity at its helm!
119
The
Incas believed that they descended from the “sons of the Sun,” while Mayans
described
themselves as children of the Pleiades.
120
There is
impelling biblical evidence that Nibiru follows a
course that cuts right
through the constellation of Pleiades (Job (9:9). Could the Mayan belief have
been
derived from cosmological knowledge given to them by their
Nibirian masters?
Apparently,
the Vedic Indians knew of the existence of the seven outer planets
(representing the
“zone of flight” to the Nibirians), just as their Mesopotamian
counterparts. This is obvious from an
examination of the following text: “He who stretched apart and
established the six worlds, ...did he also
establish the seventh?
(I.,164,5).
121
South Sea Islanders conclude that their god, and the
father of their
race, came from heaven in an enormous gleaming “egg.”
122
The first Chinese heavenly ruler P’an Ku,
discoursed the cosmos 2,229,000 years ago.
123
The
natives of Malekula (New Hebrides), describe the
first race of men as being
descended from the “Sons of Heaven.”
124
Genesis 6:4 reports that the
“Sons
of God,” or “the sons of Heaven,” were intermarrying with the
daughters of men before the Flood took
place.
The
Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Akkadian, Hurrian, Egyptian, Hittites, and
Indus Valley
civilizations describe their sky gods as arriving to the earth in
vehicles that sound very much like the
UFO’s of today. In fact, ancient depictions of these flying
machines indicate that there were several
different types of crafts. Sitchin proposes that Mesopotamian
“shems,” were the modem day equivalent of the rocket ship.
125
In the
archaic literature of India, we find gods discoursing the heavens in “vimanas”
which greatly resembled manned, flying saucers.
126
Awesome weaponry
is described: laser-
like weapons, missiles, sonic reflectors and nuclear explosives.
Sanskrit and Pali texts predating
anything found in the Old Testament are loaded with references to
flying discs; epic battles among the
gods. There is death and destruction brought about by their
devices that clearly resembles radioactive
contamination.
127
Curiously, these gods exist in a
different space-time continuum.
128
A human
generation is described as
being only a moment to the Indian god Vishnu.
129
Could this be a
reference to
the expanded time of the Elohim planet, Nibiru?
Vedic texts abound with descriptions of flying disks moving about
between heaven and earth
carrying the gods hither:
"He who hastens through the dark aerial space, ...God Savitar
on his golden chariot comes
toward us, surveying all creatures."
(I.35,2)
“With
golden hands comes hastening Savitar the god, pursuing busily his work ‘twixt
heaven
and earth;
through the dark realm of the air he hastens up to
heaven."
(I.,35,9)
130
In the Ghatotrachabadma we are told that a landed vimana resembled
a “beautifully shaped
mound of antimony on the ground.”
131
For more
descriptions of these gods and flying machines, read
the Rigveda, the Bhagatava
Purana, the Yarjurveda, the Mausala Parva, the Badha Parva, the
Budhasvamin Brihat Katha
Shlokasamgraha, the Boital Pachis, the Panchatantra, and of course the
renowned “Mahabharata.”
132
Its first book recounts the intimate and intriguing story of an
unmarried maiden named Kunti;
who received a visit from the sun god. Consequently “a boy as
radiant as the sun itself” was born from
the union. (This sounds quite similar to the baby boy born to
Bat-Enosh in the book of Enoch). Kunti
,
not wishing to be disgraced, placed her child into a basket and
launched him into a river. Adhirata, a
man from the Sua caste, found the child and raised him as his own.
133
This story is also a close parallel
of the biblical tale of Moses. You will see in later chapters,
that there is a strong possibility that Moses
may have been semi-divine
himself. Again this tale of Kunti and her “sun god,” and their hybrid
offspring, is reminiscent
of Genesis 6:4, when the “Sons of god” came in to the daughters of men, and
they bore children to
them.
The
Bible contains a wealth of descriptions of unidentified flying apparitions.
Many people
reporting contemporary UFO sightings have described them as being
cylindrical, or cigar-shaped.
134
In
fact, NASA has
photographed glowing, white cylindrical objects in flight over the surface of
the
moon.
135
In
recent years, the Russians released one of the final frames photographed by
their Phobos 2
probe that was destroyed over Mars in l989.
136
It
contains a cylindrical object that is virtually identical
to the one which appears
in NASA frame #As-16-19238, flying over the moon.
In the biblical book of Zecharia we find a description of a
peculiar flying apparition that he
describes as a “flying scroll.” “Its length is 20 cubits, and its
width 10 cubits” (Zecharia 5:1-2). If a
cubit is 18 inches, then the craft described by Zecharia was
thirty feet long and fifteen feet in length.
That’s rather large for a
scroll! Intriguingly, Zecharia was told that the mission of the peculiar object
was to seek out and
destroy “cursed” individuals and their houses (Zecharia 5:3-4). It seems likely
that
the “flying scroll” was in
reality either a reconnaissance craft, or aerial weapon.
In chapter six, Zecharia was shown two bronze colored flying
objects, with a host of smaller
vehicles emerging from them. The extraterrestrial with whom he had
been speaking, proceeds to
explain to him the mission of the craft: “to patrol the earth,”
(Zecharia 6: 1-6). Larger crafts, or mother
ships, are often reported
releasing smaller reconnaissance vehicles by modem UFO observers. New Testament
writings describe the descending of what could have been an alien craft:
“and
he behold the
sky opened up, and a certain object like a great sheet coming
down, lowered by four corners to the
ground.”
Acts 10:11.
Extraterrestrials are Reported in the Bible
Note that the object landed and came to rest on what might have
been four landing pods.
Extraterrestrials are often sighted soon after the arrival of one
of these other worldly crafts:
"...Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God fearing man
well-spoken of by the nations of the Jews,
was divinely directed by a
holy angel to send for you to come to his house and hear a message from
you.”
Acts 10:22.
The
texts goes on to say: “And Cornelius said, “Four days ago to this hour, I was
praying in my
house during the ninth hour; and behold
a man stood before me
in shining garments, "
(Acts 10:30).
Was the “man” wearing an
interplanetary flight suit? Jesus Christ himself is said to have been “lifted
up,” and “received” by a
“cloud.” Was he lifted by an electromagnetic ray, directed from a flying
saucer, cloaked in cloud
cover? (See Acts 1:9).
Clouds
are often associated with flying saucers and other UFO phenomena. In fact, the
word
“cloud” is most likely biblical terminology for either
extraterrestrial craft, or the cloud cover they create
and use to veil
themselves. There is plenty of evidence for both, in ancient writings and
modern day
accounts.
137
Jesus rising up and vanishing in a cloud
is not so incredible when you consider this aspect
of the UFO phenomenon (see
Luke 24:51). Christ was not the only personage of the New Testament to
be carried aloft by an
alien craft:
“I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago-whether in the
body... or out of the body, I do
not know, God knows,
such a man was caught up to the third
heaven
... how such a man, whether in the
body or apart from the
body I do not know, God knows, was caught up into paradise, and heard
inexpressible words, which
a man is not permitted to speak.” (2 Corinthians 12:2-4).
The Bible Reports “Out of Body” and Alien Abduction
This sounds similar to modem day reports of abductions by aliens.
Some of them claim that
these experiences occur in an “out of body” state. The man was
taken to the “third heaven,” where he is
told something the average human is not allowed to know about.
(The third heaven is where the “throne
of Heaven” is, and this of course is planet Nibiru. The third
heaven corresponded to the Most Holy
Place in the Hebrew Temple). Some abductees, such as Betty
Andreasson are taken, then shown and
told things of a secret nature. (See
The Andreasson Affair
,
by Raymond Fowler). We all remember the
story of Elijah, “who went up in a whirlwind to heaven” inside a
“fiery chariot.” (See 2 Kings 2:11).
Atmospheric disturbances or “whirlwinds” are sometimes reported
during the departure, or arrival of a
UFO.
God Pilots a Spaceship
There
is ancient pictorial evidence indicating that a “whirlwind” was also a
helicopter type
vehicle used by the gods. Renditions of these craft can be found
among the ruins of Jericho, believed by
Sitchin to be an outpost city of the ancient spaceport of the
Sinai. They are usually depicted as being
black, with whirling wings. In Job 38:1, God speaks to the
patriarch from a “whirlwind” Urakagina, a
ruler of Lagash called these helicopters of the gods, “the divine
black wind bird.”
138
In Psalms 104, a
dramatic description of
the Deity moving through the sky is heralded:
“Covering
thyself with light as with a cloak, stretching out heaven like a tent curtain.
He lays
the beams of his upper chambers in the waters;
he makes the
clouds His chariot
; he walks upon the
wings of the wind; He makes the winds His messengers, flaming fire
His ministers.” (Psalms 104:2-4).
Could Job 37:18 be a description of a metallic vessel moving
through space? “Can you, with
Him, spread out the skies, strong as a molten mirror?” Isaiah had
this to say about God and his flying
craft: “For behold
the Lord will come in fire and his chariots
like the whirlwind
, to render His anger
with fury, And His rebuke
with flames of fire.” (Isaiah 66:15).
In
the book of Abraham found at Qumran, a chariot with “wheels of fire” is
described in great
detail.
139
Jeremiah 4:13 describes God going up like
clouds, and “his chariots like whirlwinds swifter
than eagles.” In chapter
12:5 of Numbers, God is described as having come down to Earth in a “pillar of
cloud.” Could it have been
a Mesopotamian “shem” rocket? The book of Enoch refers to a fantastic
voyage into outer space;
in which the prophet is taken up into the heavens, shown celestial secrets,
then
brought back to earth in order to pass this knowledge along to
humanity.
Enoch Taken Into Outer-Space
“Enoch was born on the sixth day of the month Tsivan, and lived
three-hundred and sixty-five
years.
He was taken up to heaven on the first day of the month
Tsivan and remained in heaven sixty
days. He wrote all these signs of all creation, which the Lord
created, and Wrote three-hundred and
sixty-six books, and
handed them over to his sons, and remained on earth thirty days, and was again
taken up to heaven on the
sixth day of the month Tsivan, on the very day and hour he was born.”
(Enoch LXVIII:1-3).
140
Book of Enoch Not Part of “Transmission”
Notice
the numerical ranks of Sumerian deities, 60 and 30.
141
And, the
number 366, obviously
represents an earth year of 365.25 days. The book of Enoch was
widely circulated among the early
Christians. It did not find favor however, with early church
bishops. They felt that since it was not
canonized by Ezra the priest, that it was not valid scripture.
(Ezra was responsible for selecting the
books of the Old Testament).
142
There are other books
mentioned in the biblical writings, but omitted in
the completed canon, that
may not have been included for a reason. They would have interfered with
the precise mathematical
message of the Old and New Testaments. That is, the original layout of 49
books, synonymous with a
Sabbatical cycle, and possibly the “equidistant letter sequencing” code of the
Old Testament. This does
not mean that they were not valid works regarding the Nibirians, it simply
means that Ezra did not
include them because he was required to match the books included in canon to a
letter of the Hebrew
alphabet. Once these letters were used up, certain books had to be sacrificed.
143
However,
certain parts of Enoch are so like verses from the Old and New Testaments, that
it
seems that
those of the New Testament era deemed it proper to cite verses from it (Jude
14-15).
Because the events of Enoch occurred before the Flood, the
contents of the book must have been passed
down orally for many generations before it was finally written
down. Now, if it were passed down
orally, it could be that later writers greatly embellished it to make
up for damaged or lost portions. This
could be another reason why Ezra did not see fit to canonize it,
because portions of it may have been in
question. The first extant texts of the book of Enoch, were found
by James Bruce in Egypt in 1773. The
Ethiopic translation was made from the Greek, and a Hebrew text
may have preceded the Greek one.
144
Even though sections of
Enoch may not be authentic, there is enough that lends it credibility, and
which
clearly supports the theory that God is an extraterrestrial from
the outer fringes of the solar system, to
make it worthwhile reading.
Enoch “Beamed” Aboard Spaceship
The
book also gives an accounting of how Enoch was taken into space. A rendering
that sounds
very much like a large spacecraft hovering over the land, blocking
out the sun, and “lifting” him aboard
using an electromagnetic ray. Once he arrives, this ship departs,
and with it the darkness that had
covered the land:
When
Enoch had talked to the people,
the Lord sent out darkness on to the earth,
and there was
darkness, and it covered those men standing with Enoch, and they
took Enoch up to the highest heaven,
where the Lord is; and he
received him and placed him before his face. and the darkness went of the
earth, and light came
again
,
The people saw and did not understand how Enoch had been taken. They
glorified God, then found
a roll in which was traced the ‘invisible God;’ and all went to their homes.”
(Enoch LXVII: 1-2)
