A friend of mine had posted this on her Facebook page this week:
“My good buddy, who is a Master Sergeant in the U.S. Army just informed me that he just left a briefing (this morning) where he was told that our government will soon be making public the fact that UFO’S and ALIENS do, in fact, EXIST because they can no longer hide it.
For the record: I believe there are ET’s walking among us as “beings from other unfallen worlds” are mentioned several times in the Holy Bible.”
My take on this news: :
If extraterrestrial aliens are real, then I have to believe we are on the cusp of a revelation that is going to affirm the existence of God and that “every-knee” thing is about to get real. If such beings intended to wipe us out they could easily have found the reason to. God already worked supernaturally once to give us an example and a warning in the kindest, most compassionate, least invasive way imaginable in Jesus Christ. But mankind has largely been too ignorant and self-willed to take heed. The Way seems to be losing ground in today’s culture. I don’t know if space aliens are real, but I sure fire know God is! And if they are real, then God has a purpose in revealing them now…. Remember, God’s messengers, his created angelic beings, can appear in any form he chooses.The Bible tells us to be hospitable to strangers, for in doing so some have entertainined angels without knowing. I would call them “extra-terrestrial beings”! Too many would rather believe in space aliens than an almighty creator of the Universe? Well, ok. God will give us what we want, just like he allowed the children of Israel to choose a human, King Saul, (who turned out to be jealous, self-reliant, disobedient and crazy as a loon) rather than be obedient and trust in God for instruction, protection, and provision. I’m not afraid of extraterrestrial life. I plan to BE LIVING in the midst of extra-terrestrial life, some day! This is not anything that cannot be explained if we truly understood God’s Word and the majesty and superiority of his mind!
What if…… UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena), as they are now called by our military, are simply incidental incursions of beings from another dimension that are observed in ours, either intentionally or unintentionally…or that God is permitting more and more experiences of such things by people in this dimension to see into another dimensional realm, however briefly or incompletely, in order to facilitate our “discovery”’ and understanding of the larger more complex reality of which we are but a part.
It all depends on the foundation of the paradigm that defines your reality. Mine is that of a majestic, omnipotent, good, and caring Creator God who has all things in his hands. It won’t be much longer. We’ll get the “big picture” view someday in this realm or the eternal one that comes next.
Addendum- 1/2/2022
If the US government is actually allowing for and planning for the possibility of advanced sentient alien beings who, it seems, have been making themselves known in our little neighborhood with increasing boldness for some time, then they probably also know that we are, in all likelihood, significantly out-teched and unequally matched for a combative challenge. I’d say a good strategy is seeking a spiritual solution and preparing our world for the possibility we will be facing God, depending on God for protection, or the prospect of potential destruction from godless beings not too unlike the worst of our own world’s inhabitants. Which possibility would you prefer to face? The reality of God and having to rely on God for help or the reality of godlessness and the risk of utter destruction or enslavement?
NASA has reportedly hired a team of theologians, led by Reverend Dr. Andrew Davison, to guide humankind through potential worldview-shattering information that might come to light as a result of exploration of the cosmos by the new John Webb telescope that launched in December….it is 100x more powerful than Hubble and is already giving new glimpses into mysteries of the universe.
“The “most significant question” Davison is trying to answer is how theologians might react to the notion “of there having been many incarnations [of Christ]” in the universe, he wrote in a blog post for the University of Cambridge Faculty of Divinity.”
Uh, God has been presenting Himself to humankind since He created it. If He created other beings in other places, He would certainly make Himself known to them, as well. Theophanies (appearances of God to man) are expected. Just because He chose to incarnate to us through His own Spirit’s birth into the physical human realm in the person of Jesus Christ does not make any other theophany less meaningful to the individual to whom God appears. It simply shows that God created this special means of union between two to bring forth new beings called “birth” to prepare us for the reality that He may enter the physical world and life of humankind any way He chooses…… and may well be doing it in many ways all the time, including through the physical birth of other beings similarly (but without that supernatural virginal means the way He did with Jesus) to establish a precedent, the “Firstborn” among redeemed mankind. It certainly demonstrates that He can do it any time, any way, and any where He chooses.
The birth of every baby is a miraculous event, full of possibilities. Maybe God just chooses to remain anonymous now after having made Himself known through such a special, well-heralded birth appearance in Bethlehem all those years ago, showing us that He could do that. Maybe He walks the earth today in another body, more anonymously, even to the person in whom He chooses to dwell to direct the path of people, families, nations, even worlds. And we know from Old Testament reports He’s been able to come and go as He pleases among mankind by His Spirit, abiding in a person, for however long He chooses, unknown to the person. Maybe He still does. The difference is, if the individual embraces the Gospel of Jesus Christ and surrenders to Christ’s Holy Spirit permanently abiding within and striving to live obediently, then God in Christ resides and guides that person’s spirit forever (and dwells in one’s physical presence, too, as long as the person remains in the body.)
None of these possibilities distress me. God is God. I am not. His ways are not my ways and my thoughts are not His thoughts.
What I do know is God is sovereign over all. God is good. God loves His creation and is personally and intimately engaged in each person’s life for His glory, our good, and others’ gain. How that works out in each life is God’s work, not ours.
If humanity has finally matured enough to embrace and be capable of receiving the reality of the “fullness of the Grace and Truth of God” such that God is ready to reveal Himself and the mystery of His Being to us in more direct ways than most of us have known before, then I’d say this truly could be the Year of The Lord’s Great Appearing.
