Investigating UFO in the Bible

In summary: God is not an alien, he created the aliens to be his servants and messengers. They came back and forth to earth because they were working here. The space ships (fiery chariots) were just the transportation they used. In summary, the conversation discusses the topic of UFOs and aliens in the Bible. One individual mentions finding references to UFOs in the book of Ezekiel and the book of Revelation. They also mention the belief that God could be an alien, as well as the belief of some cults that aliens are the creators of humanity. Others in the conversation mention different interpretations of the biblical references to UFOs and angels, and provide additional resources for studying this topic. A poll is mentioned which shows that a significant percentage

Recently i read a Bible because i heard that you can find UFO in it. Well I think i did. I found it in chapter called "Hesekiel" . If you have a Bible at home then please read this chapter and tell me what do you think of it. Also i found UFO in Relevation of Johannes.

Is it possible that The God is really an alien?

In English, that's "Ezekiel." Its been a while since I've read it...
And I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire infolding itself, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst thereof as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire. 1:5 And out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures...
Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold, one wheel upon the Earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces thereof. 1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto a beryl: and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel. 1:17 When they went, they went in their four directions: they turned not when they went. 1:18 As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and they four had their rims full of eyes round about. 1:19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

No, I don't think God is an alien - but from what I understand, the Mormons do.

This is the "Zoa" =also in "Daniel"
(and as you mentioned, The Revelation of John)

These are "Visions" -IMO

There is a book called "Ezekiel's Spaceship" (?)
by a NASA engineer...likely out of print, but popular,
early '70's.

The Raelians 'believe' Elohim (God of Genesis) is a 'Spaceman'

The 'founder ' of the Black Muslims has written along the same line of thought...this idea is actually 'popular' among numerous 'cults'...and on the other hand there's popular 'belief' the UFOs are entirely of 'demonic' orgin...and planning a 'fake' Second Coming of Christ.

Whatever you're thinking--you're not alone!

If ET is here then this gets interesting. Since I don't know if he is I prefer not to speculate. I will say that even many of the devout ET believers fail to offer any specific definitions for concepts like "trans-dimensional beings". I have wondered at times if this might be similar to notions such as incorporeal or spiritual. Then of course we have the good vs evil problem to consider.

Don't have time to read all those links, but the christiananswers.net link is extemely faithful to what little the Bible actually sys about angels. Most of the people hear and see about them is not Bible-based.

As for the overall topic of this thread, as someone already said, the moving throne in Ezekiel is a vision; Ezekiel didn't say it was actually in a real place. So it's clearly intended figuratively. But, of course, angels can be called ETs or aliens. Strictly speaking that's accurate, even though they're non-corporeal.

American Survey on Alien Visitors
November 29, 2000 08:32 CDT
A recent poll by ABC News showed that 25 percent of Americans believe aliens have visited the earth. Two thirds of that percentage admit that it's just speculation on their part. One third, however, believe evidence exists of alien visits, ranging from Ezekiel to Roswell, NM.

A full 47 percent believe intelligent life exists in a physical form on other planets, but 45 percent do not believe this to be the case. The demographic differences are interesting: men are more likely than women to believe in aliens, 51 to 43 percent. Younger adults are more likely to believe. Adults with less education are not convinced, nor are Republicans.

How come nobody is mentioning the fiery chariot of Elijah?
Hasn’t anyone here really read and studied the bible writings for themselves?

I have tried but i don't have enouch strenght to do it. I fell asleep.

Now there is a real sleeping pill, the “who begat who’s”. [zz)]

Use a word search to find interesting tid bits of information. Remember that it is written in very old and non-technical languages, so a “fiery chariot drawn by fiery horses” would obviously not mean the cart and horses were burning. Words like fire were used for lights at night also. Your word searches will take time to develop, but then you will start to see what the book really talks about. There is a whole lot more in there besides UFO’s. The very reason why the ET’s would be here is in there.
 

1. What evidence is there in the Bible that supports the existence of UFOs?

There are several passages in the Bible that have been interpreted as describing encounters with unidentified flying objects, such as Ezekiel's vision of a wheel within a wheel in the sky and the bright star that led the wise men to Jesus' birthplace. However, it is important to note that these interpretations are based on personal beliefs and there is no concrete evidence to support them.

2. Are there any biblical figures who have been associated with UFOs?

Some people believe that biblical figures such as Ezekiel, Elijah, and Enoch had encounters with UFOs. However, there is no explicit mention of UFOs in the Bible and these interpretations are based on speculation.

3. How do scientists explain these supposed UFO encounters in the Bible?

Scientists do not typically use religious texts as evidence for UFOs. They approach the subject from a scientific perspective and look for natural explanations for reported phenomena.

4. Is there a connection between UFOs and religion in the Bible?

Some people believe that the existence of UFOs is connected to religious beliefs, such as the idea of extraterrestrial beings being messengers or angels. However, there is no concrete evidence to support this connection and it is a matter of personal interpretation.

5. How can we use the Bible to better understand UFOs?

The Bible is a religious text and should not be used as a scientific source for understanding UFOs. It is important to approach the subject with an open mind and rely on scientific evidence and research rather than religious texts.
