Genesis
32: 1
Jacob
also went on his way, and the angels of God met him. When Jacob saw them
he said, “This is the camp of God.” So he named the place Manahaim (“two camps”).
NOTE: Was the place
that Jacob came upon some kind of observation post for a small crew of alien
astronauts, and contact with them was more or less routine?
Exodus
19: 9, 18
The
Lord said to Moses, “I am going to come down to you in a dense (dark??) cloud.
Mt. Sinai was covered with smoke because the Lord descended [not
suddenly appeared] on it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like
the smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain trembled violently.
NOTE: The cloud
could be the ionized particles forming a vaporous cloud and the smoke could be
exhaust fumes. The fire might be the igniting or firing of retro rockets to
slow the descent of the cloaked landing craft setting down on the top of the
mountain. The main thrusters would undoubtedly produce the effect of a loud
thundering noise or roaring sound [trumpets/the sound of many waters??].
Exodus
24: 9-10
Moses
and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw
the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of
sapphire, clear as the sky itself.
NOTE: This would
seem to be the description of some sort of spacecraft or celestial vehicle
which had deployed landing gear (“feet”), and underneath was some type of
material or substance which might be an energy field?? Whatever Moses and
company saw, it does not appear to be that of an ethereal, incorporeal, transcendent,
invisible, or conceptual being; or at least not in the usual way that God is
thought of. In this instance what they saw was perhaps an inter-dimensional
being of a nature that leaves very little to get a clear picture of.
2
Samuel 22: 10-12a
He
parted the heavens and came down [landed/descended??]; dark clouds were
under his feet [landing gear]. He mounted the cherubim and flew; he
soared [lifted off??] on the wings of the wind. He made darkness (exhaust??)
his canopy (covering) around.
NOTE: Again, this
would appear to be a rocket or some kind of craft lifting off and the fuel
source from the rockets igniting produce dark smoky vapors underneath
retracting landing gear (feet??)
Ezekiel
10: 13-14a, 16
I
heard the wheels being called the whirling (spinning/rotating??) wheels. Each
of the cherubim had four faces. . . When
the cherubim moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the cherubim
spread their wings to rise from the ground the wheels did not leave their
side.
NOTE: If the two
above texts are combined together it gives a picture of a type of flying craft,
perhaps an inter-dimensional one where the ‘deity’ (God??) mounts (enters) the cherubim and then takes off. Could the
whirling wheels be propeller blades or rotors? The cherubim could be part of
the engine of a celestial transport craft of some kind??
Exodus
33: 18, 19a-21
Then
Moses said, “Now show me your glory.” And the Lord said, “I will cause all my
goodness (glory??) to pass in front of you but you cannot see my face; for
no one can see my face and live.” Then the Lord said, “There is a place
near me where you may stand on a rock. When my glory passes by, I will
place you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand and you will see my
back; but my face must not be seen [why??].
NOTE: This is most
puzzling- why does God not want Moses to see his face as opposed to seeing the
back of deity? Later on in the book of Deuteronomy, Moses reminds the
Israelites that they heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire but there
was no form thereof (Cp. Deuteronomy 4: 12)
Exodus
33: 9
As
Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down (descend)
and stay (hover) at the entrance while the Lord spoke [from the cloaked shuttle
craft??] to Moses (Cp. Exodus 34: 5).
Exodus
23: 20, 21b
See,
I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way. . . Do
not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion since my Name is
in [not upon??] him.
NOTE: Could this
“angel” be some kind of high tech protector robot, or maybe an alien probe with
artificial intelligence (A.I.)? Interestingly, this angel has the “Name” in him
(it) [like a set of preprogrammed instructions??] instead of ‘on’ him.
Exodus
40: 38
So,
the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and the fire
was in the cloud by night in the sight of all Israel during their travels.
NOTE: There is the
possibility that instead of a small scout ship or shuttle, an unmanned aerial
device (UAD) or drone with stealth technology and holographic capability could
project the appearance of a cloud and/or a fire. Maybe the “burning bush” which
did not consume itself that Moses saw was just a holographic projection- just
saying!!
Now,
let’s take a look at some other examples:
Genesis
28: 12-13a
Jacob
had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on [not merely
touching??] the earth, with its top reaching to heaven [up in the sky],
and the angels of God ascending and descending on it. There above it stood
the Lord, and he said, “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and
Isaac.” When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in
this place, and I was not aware of it.”
Genesis
11: 4
Then
they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches
to the heavens [up in the sky], so that we may make a name {Shem??] for
ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the earth.
NOTE: If the two
separate accounts are taken together it might indicate that a stairway [launch
tower/ramp??] was securely in place where angels [“astronauts”??] were
embarking and disembarking from up there in heaven [celestial spaceship??] and
after the ship de-cloaked and the hatch or door was opened the Lord was seen
standing there overhead-just saying!! Maybe the ‘stairway’ is like Bifrost, the rainbow bridge in Norse
Mythology linking Midgard (Earth) to Asgard (Heaven), and instead of seeing the lone guardian Heimdall, it is the
All-Father Odin standing at the top-maybe/maybe not?? If one reads Zechariah Sitchin’s novels, he alleges
the Hebrew word Shem usually
translated as “Name” actually means rocket (ship). Well, I don’t know if one
could build a ‘tower’ that reaches the heavens but a rocket ship could go that
far. What the Genesis narrative above is describing might just be the ancient
counterpart to NASA and Cape Canaveral in Florida- just saying..
Continuing
further:
2
Kings 2: 1, 11, 15a-16
When
the Lord was about to take up Elijah to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and
Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. As they were walking along and talking
together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses appeared
[materialized/de-cloaked??] and separated the two of them, and Elijah went
up to heaven in a whirlwind. Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My
father! The chariots and horsemen [not horses??] of Israel!” The company
of the prophets from Jericho, who were watching, “Look, they said, “we your servants
have fifty men, Let us go and look for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of
the Lord has picked him up and set him down on some mountain or valley.”
NOTE: If the other
prophets knew that the Lord would take Elijah to heaven, why would they expect
Elijah would be sent back to earth? Also, Elisha saw chariots and horsemen
[astronauts??] as opposed to the description of a fiery chariot [singular] and
horses. The ‘whirlwind’ could be the atmospheric disturbance due to the effect
of the powerful engines from the celestial craft?? This might be the most
plausible example of what might be an alien abduction-or perhaps not to others.
Acts
8: 39b-40
The
Spirit of the Lord took Philip away [beamed him up]. . . Philip, however
appeared [he was beamed down] at Azotus.
NOTE: The narrative
does not reveal the reason behind this brief snatching away [abduction] and
returning of Philip, and I don’t have any good guesses, either.
CONCLUSION: This study is
not to suggest that the human race, starting with Adam and Eve and the Semitic Bedouin
tribe who settled in the land of Canaan, descending from the lineage of the
patriarch Abraham, progenitor of the Jewish people (Israelites), did not have
contact with the eternal God and angels from the highest heaven. It is just as
plausible, however, that Earth could have been visited by an advanced race of
extraterrestrial astronauts and/or godlike inter-dimensional beings who manifest
abilities, technology, and knowledge far exceeding the evolutionary development
of the people they encountered untold millennia ago. If such events happened
today as recorded in the Bible, would a moveable pillar of cloud and fire;
thundering sound of a human [man’s] voice; angels [astronauts??]
ascending/descending on a stairway; cherubim with retractable wings and
whirling wheels; fiery chariot, the Spirit snatching someone up- would all of
these situations be seen as the interaction in human affairs from the celestial
realms of the Creator of the Universe or the effects of high-tech wizardry from
advanced denizens from unknown worlds or universes? You can make that choice
for yourself and as the old saying goes, “The proof is in the pudding.” Jesus
said in John 5: 37, “No man has seen God at any time; you have neither heard
his voice nor seen his form.”
