Aliens, UFO’s and Space travel… what is the truth of it? – Part 1
Generally speaking I am not much of a “conspiracy” person, but God knows there is no shortage of “conspiracy” theories in this world. It almost has a “cult” like following throughout the decades, especially with the advent of film and special affects to enhance the drama of a possible idea. But what is the truth of all of this? The Bible makes very clear in one book that God will bring a strong dilution on the world for those who disobey Him and that signs and wonder will be done in heaven, both by good and evil forces, which would put to rest the question of UFO’s and the “why” of the space program at least (Matt. 24:24, 2 Thess. 2:9-12, Hebrews 2:4, Rev. 16:14). The word used to describe angels in particular which means “messenger” are used to describe both “celestial” and “terrestrial” bodies in the New and Old Testament (Genesis 32:3, Luke 7:24). But do we need to be deceived? This week I will talk about the topic of the more “alien” kind using the Bible as the go to reference book of choice.
The first thing to mention is that we are not alone. If you are a believer, or you are not, it would be important to know that there exists “another” world, which is the spirit world (Col 1:16, Eph. 6:12, 1 Peter 3:22). This spirit world is spoken of in the Bible, and is described alongside the history and experiences of those who wrote the books of the Bible and their generations. There are many descriptions of interesting foreign objects such as the wheels in Ezekiel’s writings or the beasts in Daniel’s writings and John’s writing of the Book of Revelation (Ezekiel 1:15-25, Daniel 7, Rev. 13). However, these all have to be taken into context, because they are usually describing something or some system that has or may eventually exist on earth. Such as the statue in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream that represents a succession of kingdoms that have and continue to take place on earth today, this is the same as the “beast” with 7 heads, which also represents a succession of kingdoms on earth (Daniel 2, Rev. 12, 17). The point is that God is working something out here on earth, much greater than what we may think at times (Isaiah 55:8, 9).
