Aliens or Fallen Angels (first update)

          What can we say about aliens? Are they real? Do they come from another planet, star cluster, or galaxy? Could they possibly be from another dimension within our own realm of existence?  The bigger question is what does the bible and other ancient texts say about these beings?

Throughout all of history, from the beginning of time man has had “contact” with or at minimum observed strange things in the sky. The evidence is in cave paintings, legends, myths, and historical accounts. There is also physical evidence as well that comes in the form of strange skulls that have been found all over the world. Many of them are kept in a museum in Paracas, Peru. These skulls are in some cases twice the size of a normal human skull, and they are shaped like a cone. They also only have two parietal plates as opposed to humans which have three plates. These skulls also have a brain cavity that holds a brain that would be between 20%-40% larger than a normal human brain. Some ancient cultures worshipped these beings as well, at least it seems that way. If we take the ancient Egyptians, we can see from their pictures the long cone shaped skull being covered by their tall crowns. Some cultural groups went as far as head binding. This means from infancy boards are tied or strapped to the child’s soft head to force it to grow in the oblong cone shape. Why would anyone do this, if not to honor or be/look like the “gods”? What would cause a parent to say, “Hey honey, I think we should strap a board to our child’s head to make it grow elongated and different?” So it seems quite obvious, to me at least, that these skulls are of some other origin and not from human nature. 

Some of the historical accounts concerning aliens or “star people” are the ancient Mayans, Babylonians, and yes even the Hebrews from the bible.

The Mayans have legends about their bird/serpent god Kukulkan known as Quetzalcoatl to the Aztecs. He and many others came down from the stars and taught man many things. One of these things was the use of a calendar system to track time. They also taught astronomy and the reading of the stars along with predicting astrological events. This was an amazing feat for a group of “cave men.” The Mayans had predicted an eclipse for the year 1999 and it came within microseconds of the predicted time. Our own astronomers say that it was so precise that they don’t know who was more accurate, the Mayans or us today.

 It is plain to see that this culture had help from some kind of other intelligence. According to archeological findings, the Mayans cultural characteristics began around 1800 BC. This means the advancements in technology that they were able to achieve happened roughly four-thousand years ago. If we consider the biblical flood to be true, and you use the genealogy of man starting from Adam as year 0, we can say that the flood happened in the year 1656. Using our modern calendar that is converted to the year 2344 BC. There is a difference of 544 years between the beginning of the Mayan culture and the flood. However, the oldest date on the Mayan calendar is August 11, 3114 BC; if this is the case that puts the calendar being created in the 886 year. This is 770 years before the flood. I believe that the knowledge was obtained during this time however it wasn’t until after the flood that this group of people came to southern North America. I say this because not long after the flood, we read about how Joshua and Caleb began taking orders from YHWH. They were told to utterly destroy cities and every living thing in them.

-          Deuteronomy 20: 16-18

 In those towns that the Lord your God is giving you as a special possession, destroy every living thing. ¹⁷ You must completely destroy the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, just as the Lord your God has commanded you. ¹⁸ This will prevent the people of the land from teaching you to imitate their detestable customs in the worship of their gods, which would cause you to sin deeply against the Lord your God.

I believe these people groups were not people like you and me, but rather cities of nephilim, or the offspring of the fallen angels and humans. I do not believe that YHWH was telling His people to go destroy other groups of people because they did not agree with His laws. These cities were full of people that never should have been.

As for how the Mayan people obtained the knowledge for the calendar, I believe there was an exchange between the fallen angels and the leaders of the ancient cultures. The fallen angels gave man knowledge in exchange for human wives.

-          Enoch 8: 3

Semjaza taught the casting of spells, and root-cuttings, Armaros taught counter-spells (release from spells), Baraqijal taught astrology, Kokabel taught the constellations (portents), Ezeqeel the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiel the signs of the earth, Shamsiel the signs of the sun, and Sariel the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven.

There seems to be many things covered in this one verse, several of these fallen angels from this one verse taught things dealing with the sky. I take it as maybe they were all originally with one group of people and when that group put all this knowledge together they were able to come up with the Mayan long count calendar. These star people came to earth traded technology for women and allowed themselves to be worshipped as gods.

The Sumerian and Babylonian myths also show that man was worshipping beings from other “worlds.” These gods would come to earth in vehicles called Shems. They were described as “tall rocks with fire”, this sounds like a vague description of a rocket ship, a.k.a. a spaceship. There is also a quote from the Epic of Gilgamesh in which the gods leave earth during the flood.

“Even the gods were terrified at the flood, they fled to the highest heaven, the firmament of Anu; they crouched against the walls, cowering like curs.”

            Fleeing to the highest heaven means they must have left the planet earth. Anu is the sky god, so his firmament means heaven or sky. So the firmament of Anu can be considered to furthest place from the flood.

            The way I see this is that the gods from the ancient texts are no more than what we consider aliens today. The only difference is there may be a new law set in place by YHWH that disallows them to be worshipped in the same way. I can’t say for sure whether these beings we have come to know as aliens are the same gods from ancient times or if they are a new set of angels that have decided to leave their God given estate and come here. I am not even sure if they are the same class of angels as what the book of Enoch calls the Watchers. But I can go into a bit more detail concerning those things in a later post.

            Now I plan to go into a lot more detail concerning the biblical angels. As you all should know by now, I am way more concerned with what the bible has to say about any topic, especially one that could have an impact on all of mankind concerning the last days.

We have all seen the pictures of angels that look like humans with wings. What if these depictions are only made this way to give us a comforting feeling? Maybe the wings only represent a means of flying that normal man did not have in ancient times. As far as the human looking being, that seems to be a little questionable as well according to all the different pictures and descriptions from ancient man.

Egyptian gods are depicted as very tall, and some have bird or dog heads. Sumerian gods were very tall, some with bird or lizard head, and some had wings. Mayan gods were again tall, some are depicted with bird or lizard heads. It seems that the one thing that they all had in common was the sheer height was larger than any normal sized man. The bible has something to say about this height.

Amos 2: 9

“Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,
Whose height was like the height of the cedars,
And he was as strong as the oaks;
Yet I destroyed his fruit above

            I think it is very possible that the original fallen angels allowed themselves to be worshipped for a short time, before they suffered the punishment given by YHWH. After this, their grandchildren ruled the earth. I believe the first generations of nephilim were the beings the Greeks called the Titans. Jewish historian Flavious Josephus had this to say.

-          Antiquities of the Jews

For many angels of God accompanied with women, and begot sons that proved unjust, and despisers of all that was good, on account of the confidence they had in their own strength; for the tradition is, that these men did what resembled the acts of those whom the Grecians call giants or Titans.

            This generation of nephilim destroyed each other as their fallen angel fathers watched. That was the beginning of their punishment. The second and third generations however, are the ones I think became known as gods. Such as Zeus from Greece, Osiris from Egypt, and Kulkukan from the Mayan culture.

So what does the bible have to say concerning beings from other worlds or at least outer space? Well a lot actually. There are several passages from the bible that speak of angels. There are also a few passages from apocryphal writings that also talk about these same beings and go into a bit more detail in some areas. Some are good and do as YHWH commands. Others however, use their free will to follow their own desires. It may be, based on the name given to this group of angels and their job based on the description given in the book of Enoch. They are called the Watchers and they were supposed to look after mankind.

According to both Enoch and Genesis, these angles descended to Earth due to their lust for human women.

Genesis 6: 1-2

Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, ² that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

Enoch 6: 1-3

And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born to them beautiful and fair daughters. And the angels, the sons of heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: “Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and have children with them.’

            Based on both of these passages, we can see that at least this section of Enoch matches that of Genesis. They both agree on the reasoning of why the angels came to Earth.

            Once here, I believe that they realized that they had sinned, and they would have to pay a harsh punishment from YHWH for doing so. So they allowed themselves to be worshipped. There are several researchers that believe man traded these women to the angels for technology. I believe this idea is also considered plausible by the ancient alien theorists.

            Enoch 6: 3-4

And Samjaza, who was their leader, said to them: ‘I fear you will not agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of this great sin.’

            This verse alone shows that these angels knew that what they were about to do was going to result in punishment. As far as allowing themselves to be worshiped we read several times in the bible where man will fall at the feet of angels and begin to worship them. The only difference is in the bible the angels tell man to stop worshiping them. Twice in Revelation John tries to worship the angel that is showing him his miraculous vision. Both times he is told to stop and worship only YHWH.

Revelation 19: 10

¹⁰ At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”

            So we can see that angels have the power to allow themselves to be worshiped as gods. This also makes sense when you think about the Ten Commandments. The first thing YHWH says concerning the commandments is that man should worship only Him.

Exodus 20: 3

 “You shall have no other gods before Me.

            Without taking into account the fallen angel theory, who are these other gods? Why is YHWH so concerned with them? It is my belief that these angels portrayed themselves as gods. For all intents and purposes they seemed good. They were teachers of knowledge that man formerly didn’t have. Doing these things, I believe was the original great deception. Similar to the great deception that revelation describes that will come at the end of days.

            Now as far as the bible and UFOs and similar aliens, I see several instances that could be taken that way as well. We read about Jacobs ladder, the bread basket in Zachariah, and the angels that left their estate in Joel.

            Genesis 28: 12

¹² He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

            This verse seems to be describing an opening in the veil that separates heaven and Earth. The bottom of the stairway sits on earth whereas the top is leading into heaven. My understanding of this leads me to believe that angels are able to break through this veil and come onto earth whenever they choose. Angels have the ability to go back and forth between heaven and earth.

            Chapter 5 of Zachariah has a lot of things going on so I decided to pull out several verses.

Zachariah 5: 5-11

⁵ Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.”

⁶ So I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a basket (Ephah) that is going forth.”

He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth: ⁷ Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; ⁸ then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth. ⁹ Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.

¹⁰ So I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”

¹¹ And he said to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.”

            The first thing we notice is that the angel tells him to look up. Then it gets a little strange. First he says this is “their” resemblance around the world, describing it as a lead disc lifted up. He then goes on to say that inside this disc is WICKEDNESS, which to my understanding is another way to say evil. The opening is then covered with a lead lid. To break down just this part of the passage we have a lead disc in the air and it contains wickedness. After this we see two more women coming in the air and these two both have wings. They take the ephah or basket full of wickedness and carry it away to that land of Shinar. Shinar is Babylon or in today’s world Iraq. In this land a house or in some translations a temple will be built for the basket full of wickedness and once finished, the basket will be placed there.

            This entire passage sounds to me like a description of aliens. I have read several reports of people claiming to have been abducted by aliens. Some claim that they have been surgically impregnated. Others claim to have had implants forcibly placed into their bodies. But the ones that interest me the most are the ones that the abductees claim to be able to stop abduction by using the name of Jesus Christ. In almost all of these cases the individual is in an intense state of fear. Many times these people have no idea how to make an abduction stop and out of pure instinct they should out “Jesus help me!” Immediately, they find themselves back in bed and safe. This point was left out of many abduction books due to the fact that the writers did not want to lose any credibility among their circles.

                Jude 1: 6

⁶ And I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority God gave them but left the place where they belonged. God has kept them securely chained in prisons of darkness, waiting for the great Day of Judgment.

            Joel is telling us pretty straight forward that there were a group of angels that had moved passed the limits of which YHWH gave them. So we can see that YHWH granted not only humans but also the angels’ free will. Using their free will they chose to descend to earth, and they chose to break many of YHWH’s rules and laws.

I plan to write more on this topic and dig a little deeper so stay tuned. If anyone is interested I have a Google community entitled Yeshua Ha’Machiac (Jesus our Savior), it is open for all to join.
