Are Aliens From Outer Space Found In The King James Bible?

So, for the sake of argument, let us assume that this view
has some degree of validity. In other words, let us assume
that God did decide to create intelligent life elsewhere in
the Universe. Let us also theorize that these alien beings
possess a nature which is very similar to our own. Looking
at our own history, it is probably safe to assume that at
some stage in their development, when their technology had
reached a sufficiently advanced level, they began to scan
the heavens, in the hope of answering the one Big Question:
"Are we alone in the Universe?". Eventually, perhaps out of
necessity, curiosity, or maybe for some other reasons, when
their technology permitted it, these same beings also began
to explore the Universe, beginning with their own local star
system and galaxy.

Of course, to even entertain this possibility, we must also
be willing to accept the idea that other civilizations may
have been created long before we were, and that they may be
hundreds, or possibly thousands of years ahead of us, in a
technological sense. Logic seems to dictate that such a race
of beings would have to be highly advanced, with technology
that we can only dream of, in order to embark on such an
extended journey from their home world to our own. To even
begin to understand how such a race might accomplish this
feat, would undoubtedly require that one have a firm grasp
of physics, engineering, astronomy, propulsion systems, etc.

Being a rather simple man, I personally have a very limited
understanding of string theory, wormholes, anti-gravity, the
distortion of the space/time continuum, and other theoretical
concepts. A number of year ago, I read through approximately
half of Stephen Hawkin's 1988 book "A Brief History Of Time"
before I finally gave up in despair. Hawkin's concepts were
simply beyond my current understanding. However, what I do
understand, is that based upon the laws of physics, at least
as scientists currently understand them, Faster-Than-Light,
(FTL), space travel is a physical impossibility; and I have
heard it stated a number of times, that it is precisely this
kind of space travel that would be required, in order for an
alien race to transverse the vast distances of space between
their home world and ours in a reasonable amount of time.

While I don't fully understand it, from the limited research
that I've conducted concerning this topic, it has a lot to do
with the fact that the mass of an object increases in direct
proportion to its velocity. This means, if I understand the
concept correctly, that as the speed of an object increases,
its very mass acts as a force of resistance which prevents
it, or at least hinders it, from gaining additional speed. In
other words, it would require a tremendous amount of velocity
and fuel for a spaceship to overcome its own increasing mass,
and attain the speed of light. The craft would reach a speed
where it could no longer overcome its own mass, thus making
it impossible for it to ever reach the speed of light. As I
said, my grasp of such things is limited, so I may not have
it exactly right. If so, I am sure that someone will write
to me, in order to clarify the issue for me.

There are other obstacles to overcome as well. For example,
how would a spacecraft be able to decrease its velocity and
land on a particular planet if it is traveling at such a
high rate of speed? Wouldn't it have to accelerate for the
first half of its journey, and decelerate for the remaining
half? There is also the issue of the structural integrity of
the spacecraft. Can a spacecraft be constructed which could
withstand such mind-boggling velocity? It seems to me that a
saucer-shaped craft would be the most viable solution. But
even then, if a spacecraft is moving at the speed of light,
how would it avoid hitting into planets, asteroids and other
objects in space? It seems to me that a craft traveling at
this speed would have to move in a straight line; and sooner
or later, something is bound to cross its path. What then?
While Star Trek's "warp speed" sounds and looks exciting,
it is, after all, only fantasy. An alien race would have to
have the entire Universe precisely mapped out in order to
avoid such collisions in space.

Of course, these questions and problems are based upon our
current understanding of physics. As I mentioned before, if
these alien civilizations exist, and if they are hundreds or
thousands of years ahead of us in a technological sense, it
is possible that they may have already mastered some of the
theoretical concepts that I discussed earlier. If that's the
case, then distance and speed, and perhaps even physical
objects, may not be a problem for them whatsoever.

One thing seems rather certain. If an advanced space-faring
race does exist, and if this race visited the Earth in our
distant past, it is quite probable that they would have been
viewed as great gods who had come down from the sky. As you
may already know, there are in fact a number of cultures in
the world today, which possess legends, traditions, sacred
writings and artifacts which speak of strangers who arrived
from the sky. I will be discussing some of these legends in
more detail later on in this series. I also encourage you to
read the series "The Nibiru Planet X Wormwood Controversy".

So the question is, did this really happen? Has Planet Earth
been the object of extraterrestrial visitations in the past?
Furthermore, do these alien visitations continue today? Or
is it possible that what some people have assumed are alien
beings and extraterrestrial spaceships, are really something
entirely different? It's my hope that after you've completed
reading this series, you will be able to form your own sound
conclusions, based upon the information that I've presented
here.

A moment ago I theorized that if God has created intelligent
beings on other planets, they may possess a nature which is
similar to our own. I base this idea upon the belief that if
God created us in His image here on Earth, He would choose
to do the same thing on other worlds as well. In other words,
in a physiological sense, aliens, if they exist, may possess
a hominid form similar to our own. They would be bipedal, and
would walk in an upright form. They would have two arms, two
legs, two hands, two feet, a torso, a neck and a head.

I am also inclined to believe that mentally, emotionally and
spiritually, they would also be similar to human beings; and
therein lies the problem. As much as we humans like to dwell
on our positive traits, our own tragic history on this planet
forces us to acknowledge that we possess a dark, violent and
even evil side to our nature. The Bible clearly agrees with
this assessment of our human nature. A few verses which come
to my mind are the following:

"And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continually."
Genesis 6:5, KJV

"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately
wicked: who can know it?"
Jeremiah 17:9, KJV

"For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness,
blasphemies:"
Mt 15:19, KJV

So following this line of thought, isn't it logical to assume
that if we humans possess this dark side to our nature, alien
beings may likewise possess the very same negative traits? If
we couple this possibility with the fact that any alien race
which might choose to visit us would obviously be superior to
us in a technological sense, it paints a very alarming image
of what our future may possibly hold, if said aliens lean to
the dark side.

Realistically-speaking, there's absolutely no guarantee that
a potential alien visitation would be a positive event which
would benefit humanity. In fact, the mythology of television
programs and movies such as "War Of The Worlds", "Invasion",
"First Wave", "Independence Day", "V", "The X-Files", "Dark
Skies" and a host of others, may be closer to the truth than
"Close Encounters Of The Third Kind", "E.T.", "Taken", and a
few of the other positive vibe alien movies. Rather than be
the recipients of interplanetary diplomacy, such as when the
Vulcans first arrived on Earth in the Star Trek movies, we
could just as easily face interplanetary war, enslavement or
perhaps total annihilation at the hands of an overpowering
alien enemy.

Having said that, it seems to me that if, as certain people
believe, our planet has already been visited by one or more
alien races, and if their agenda was to attack and subdue
the people of Planet Earth, surely they would have done it
already. They certainly would not wait until we possess the
technology to defend ourselves and defeat them. They would
act now. Being as this has obviously not happened yet, what
does this tell us? Could they be waiting on something? Or
could it be that they simply haven't arrived yet? Or might
it even be that they really don't exist? Personally, I'm of
the opinion that something does in fact exist, whether one
prefers to call it alien, or something else; and I am not
convinced that it can be trusted.

As I first mentioned over ten years ago in a short article
entitled "Alien Abductions And The Evil Bird", (which is now
incorporated into this current series), as a result of the
large body of UFO-related material which I've examined over
the years, I am not convinced of the positive nature, nor do
I blindly accept the stated intentions, of these so-called
"alien beings" which, if sources are to be believed, have
apparently affected the lives of a considerable number of
people in recent decades. Anyone who has done any degree of
serious research in the area of UFOlogy, should have some
deep reservations regarding this entire phenomenon. He or
she shouldn't be too hasty to assume that these creatures,
whatever they are, whoever they are, and wherever they come
from, have our well-being as their highest priority.

This is clearly evidenced by the so-called "alien abduction"
experience. From conducting my research, I have arrived at
the conclusion that the "alien abduction" experience is for
the most part an American phenomenon. Not only do they seem
to occur primarily in the United States of America, but in
most cases, it seems that they are negative experiences as
well, much like what has been depicted in the aforementioned
movies and television shows.

Ask anyone who has allegedly been abducted by said entities,
and the vast majority will tell you that it was by no means
a pleasant experience. In fact, it was a rather frightening
experience which filled them with horror; and some people's
lives have been filled with anxiety, fear and paranoia, ever
since the event occurred to them. Some of them worry that it
may happen again; and according to the information that I
have read, to some, it already has. I am reminded of a few
books I read a number of years ago, written by American sci-
fi author, Whitley Strieber. In the first book, "Communion:
A True Story", published in 1988, Mr. Strieber describes the
helplessness, and the sheer fear that he felt, while in the
presence of his strange "visitors":

----- Begin Quote -----

"I became entirely given over to extreme dread. The fear was
so powerful that it seemed to make my personality completely
evaporate . . . 'Whitley' ceased to exist. What was left was
a body and a state of raw fear so great that it swept about
me like a thick, suffocating curtain, turning paralysis into
a condition that seemed close to death . . . I died and a
wild animal appeared in my place."

----- End Quote -----

Whitley Strieber's 1997 follow-up book, "Transformation: The
Breakthrough", contained more of the same talk of dread and
fear. Strieber writes:

----- Begin Quote -----

"Increasingly I felt as if I were entering a struggle that
might even be more than life and death. It might be a
struggle for my soul, my essence, or whatever part of me
might have reference to the eternal. There are worse things
than death, I suspected . . ."

"I felt an absolutely indescribable sense of menace. It was
hell on earth to be there [in the presence of the entities],
and yet I couldn't move, couldn't cry out, couldn't get
away. I'd lay as still as death, suffering inner agonies."

----- End Quote -----

These feelings of dread, fear and complete helplessness have
been expressed by many other people who have likewise found
themselves in the presence of these mysterious beings. If you
surf the web, you will find many other personal accounts that
describe incidents very similar to those described by Whitley
Strieber. So what we need to ask ourselves is this: If these
beings are as benign as some New Agers and UFO cultists claim
that they are, why is it then that these terrible experiences
are occurring to these people, and leaving some of them full
of fear and scarred for life?

So as I have already made clear, due to the insight which I
have gained over the years from reading UFOlogy literature,
as well as from studying the Bible, during which time I have
come to better understand the nature of both God and Angels,
and how they tend to operate, it has become clear to me that
insofar as the "alien abduction" experience is concerned,
and I do use that term with reservation, for the most part,
we seem to be dealing primarily with something which is of a
dark, evil nature.

Borrowing a phrase from the Bible, they are not the "angels
of light", or the "saviors of humanity", that they pretend
to be. Sadly, some people have in fact been deceived by this
very lie, and have accepted the words of these beings, while
ignoring their evil actions. Such people seem to forget that
actions speak louder than words; or as Jesus taught us:

"Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them."
Matthew 7:20, KJV

When I first began to read about these bizarre events which
certain people were experiencing, to be quite honest, I was
skeptical to say the least. I adopted the attitude that in
the United States of America, there are a lot of people who
have a very vivid imagination. I also reasoned that there
are people who will report having seen a flying saucer, or
who will claim to have even flown in a UFO, (consider the
Billy Meier case), or who will insist that they have been
abducted by alien beings, (Linda Napolitano comes to mind),
simply because it draws attention to themselves, and allows
them to feel as if they are someone important. Of course,
these are not the only reasons why people make such claims.
Some people do it simply because they are habitual liars, or
perhaps because they think that it is funny to joke about
such things, or in some cases, maybe because they actually
suffer from serious psychological problems.

But let's be honest with ourselves. As vain as it is, this
wanting to be somebody important, is a hidden desire which
many of us have entertained at one time or another, is it
not? It gives one a certain feeling of satisfaction to know
that he or she is part of an elite group of people which has
experienced something which others have not. So, I reasoned,
in their carelessness, and possibly due to their desire to
be one of the "chosen few", some people were taking normal
sightings in the sky, which could probably be attributed to
very down-to-earth explanations, and then embellishing them
to the point of calling them UFO's; even though there was no
clear indication that they were really any such thing.

Allow me to also remind you that the acronym UFO does not
necessarily refer to an alien craft from Outer Space. A UFO
can be any currently Unidentified Flying Object. It has only
been in recent decades, that these three letters, UFO, have
become synonymous with the flying saucer. UFO is clearly a
powerful buzz word in our modern day. It immediately evokes
a reaction from the listener; and it sells newspapers and
magazines; and it cranks up the ratings for news broadcasts;
and let us not forget that the entertainment industry makes
millions of dollars from it each year.

Let's face it. Some people will believe what they want to
believe, no matter what you try to tell them, and no matter
how much the real evidence points in another direction. Let
me offer you a clear example of this. As I was updating this
article, I came across an email communication I had with a
woman back in March of 1998.

Allow me to interject a small confession here. Like many of
you, I am a pack rat when it comes to my computer. I tend to
archive material if I feel that I may be able to use it in
one of my articles at some later date. Sometimes they are
just little snippets of interesting information, or things
that I have said or written to someone, which I have never
shared publicly before. Sometimes I get these little moments
of inspiration, and I think to myself, "Wow! That would make
a great article!". The down side to this habit of mine, is
that I have piles and piles of little tidbits stashed away,
and half-completed articles which have been sitting in limbo
for several years now. Hopefully, I will eventually finish
them all, God-willing.

At any rate, from the messages that she had emailed to me, it
became clear that this particular woman embraces a lot of New
Age ideas. She firmly accepts the existence of alien beings;
and like many other modern Christians, she has also adopted
the erroneous view that God is nothing but love, and is far
removed from the wrathful God of the Old Testament era. Such
people totally reject the image of a harsh, vengeful God, and
claim that He no longer chastises His wayward children, as He
did with the ancient Israelites when they backslid and began
to worship other gods. According to people like her, that is
the old-fashioned way of thinking.

Quite frankly, I don't understand how such people can ignore
the many verses found throughout the Bible, which not only
reveal God's Wrath in the past, but which also make it very
clear, that serious Judgment is going to be passed on this
world, one of these days, when the Lord finally runs out of
patience. Consider the following verses which amply prove
that our God is not only a God of Love, He is also a God of
Wrath and Judgment to the rebellious of heart, and to those
who are disobedient to His Word and Will:

"How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft
cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows
in his anger. They are as stubble before the wind, and as
chaff that the storm carrieth away."
Job 21:17-18, KJV

"The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the
wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in
the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the
righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish."
Psalms 1:4-6, KJV

"Open rebuke is better than secret love."
Proverbs 27:5, KJV

". . . he that cometh after me . . . will throughly purge
his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will
burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
Matthew 3:11b-12, KJV

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and
broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many
there be which go in thereat:"
Matthew 7:13, KJV

". . . He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The
field is the world; the good seed are the children of the
kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the
end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As
therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so
shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall
send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his
kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth."
Matthew 13:37b-42, KJV

"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he
that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath
of God abideth on him."
John 3:36, KJV

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth
in unrighteousness;"
Romans 1:18, KJV

"Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of
these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of
disobedience."
Ephesians 5:6, KJV

"For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden
destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with
child; and they shall not escape."
1 Thessalonians 5:3, KJV

"It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living
God . . . For our God is a consuming fire."
Hebrews 10:31, 12:29, KJV

"And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto
you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the
chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of
him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth
every son whom he receiveth."
Hebrews 12:5-6, KJV

"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud
voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and
receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same
shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured
out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he
shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence
of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the
smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and
they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and
his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."
Revelation 14:9-11, KJV

"And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous,
seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is
filled up the wrath of God."
Revelation 15:1, KJV

"And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the
seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the
wrath of God upon the earth . . . Fall on us, and hide us
from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from
the wrath of the Lamb:"
Revelation 16:1, 16b, KJV

"And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he
should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod
of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and
wrath of Almighty God."
Revelation 19:15, KJV

"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,
and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
. . . and whosoever was not found written in the book of
life was cast into the lake of fire."
Revelation 21:8, 20:15, KJV

So, while the Bible does make it clear that God is extremely
patient and merciful with us, His wayward children, it also
makes it clear that one of these days, His patience is going
to run out; and the world will experience His full Wrath due
to their proud, foolish rejection of Him, of His Laws, and
of His Authority over them. If you're interested in learning
more about my views regarding the nature of God, and how He
deals with us, please consider reading some of my other work
such as "Love And Light, Or Rod And Wrath?", "Beholding The
Evil And The Good", and "The Fruits Of Disobedience".

But to continue with my narrative, then this woman made the
foolish mistake of trying to validate her misguided ideas by
telling me that space aliens are even mentioned in the Bible.
Her exact words were "The word 'alien' is mentioned 26 times
in the Bible".

To a certain degree, this woman is actually right. The word
"alien" is in fact found in the KJV Bible. However, as I also
explained to her in a return email, the word is not referring
to alien beings from Outer Space. In her mind, she had become
convinced that "alien" was referring to the so-called "Greys"
from Zeta Reticuli, or perhaps to the fair-skinned alien race
known as the "Nordics", or possibly the benign "Pleiadians",
or maybe even to the sinister "Reptilians", a.k.a., "Dracos".

Undoubtedly, what I just said will seem quite strange to some
of you. You need understand that within UFOlogy, there are a
lot of die-hard believers who take it so seriously, that they
have even classified "aliens" according to race, appearance,
home star system, etc. I will be discussing the latter group,
that is, the so-called "Reptilians", later on in this series.

So allow me to set the record straight, just in case some of
you reading this have also fallen for this deception. In the
Bible, the word "alien" is used to refer to people who were
of non-Hebrew stock, either within or without Israel. This
word "alien" also means stranger, or one who feels alienated
from his or her own people. In the Old Testament, the words
"alien" and "stranger" are derived from several different
Hebrew words. Following are extracts taken from my Hebrew
lexicon:

----- Begin Quote -----

ger or geyr (gare)

KJV - stranger 87, alien 1, sojourner 1, stranger + 0376 1,
stranger + 04480 1, strangers + 0582 1; 92

1) sojourner
  1a) a temporary inhabitant, a newcomer lacking inherited rights
  1b) of foreigners in Israel, though conceded rights

----- End Quote -----

The Hebrew word "ger", which is also transliterated as
"geyr" is further derived from the following root:

----- Begin Quote -----

guwr (goor)

KJV - sojourn 58, dwell 12, afraid 6, stranger 6, gather
together 4, fear 3, abide 2, assemble 1, stand in awe 1,
gathered 1, inhabitant 1, remain 1, sojourners 1, surely 1;
98

1) to sojourn, abide, dwell in, dwell with, remain, inhabit,
   be a stranger, be continuing, surely
    1a) (Qal)
       1a1) to sojourn, dwell for a time
       1a2) to abide, stay, temporarily dwell

----- End Quote -----

In some places, the word "alien" is also derived from the
Hebrew words "nokriy" and "nekar". Following are their
definitions as found in the Hebrew lexicon:

----- Begin Quote -----

nokriy (nok-ree')

KJV - stranger 18, strange 17, alien 4, strange woman 3,
foreigner 2, outlandish 1, stranger + 0376 1; 45

1) foreign, alien
   1a) foreign
   1b) foreigner (subst)
   1c) foreign woman, harlot
   1d) unknown, unfamiliar (fig.)

nekar (nay-kawr')

KJV - strange 17, stranger + 01121 10, stranger 7, alien 1; 35

1) foreign, alien, foreignness, that which is foreign
   1a) foreignness, foreign gods
   1b) alien, foreigner
   1c) foreign (vanities)

----- End Quote -----

The final Hebrew word which is translated as "stranger", or
"alien", in the Old Testament of the Authorized King James
Bible, is "zuwr". Consider again what the Hebrew lexicon has
to say regarding this word:

----- Begin Quote -----

zuwr (zoor)

KJV - stranger 45, strange 18, estranged 4, stranger + 0376
3, another 2, strange woman 2, gone away 1, fanners 1,
another place 1; 77

1) to be strange, be a stranger
   1a) (Qal)
       1a1) to become estranged
       1a2) strange, another, stranger, foreigner, an enemy (participle)
       1a3) loathsome (of breath) (participle)
       1a4) strange woman, prostitute, harlot (meton)
   1b) (Niphal) to be estranged
   1c) (Hophal) to be a stranger, be one alienated
