Angels, “Aliens” & The Bible

Aliens: Extra-Terrestrial Angelic Beings

What do I mean when I say “aliens?” The context I refer to this in is as any intelligent entity or being other than human lineage. In the dictionary, it is defined as “A creature from outer space: science fiction about an invasion of aliens” Do you see where that leads your thinking? I’m going to focus here on the Bible, so it shouldn’t sound so crazy... or maybe it will. Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. Some people have a hard time relating their impressions of UFOs and aliens with the Bible in any way even though I think the Bible does make mention, it just takes a little change in the way you think about the topic.

I believe that there are non-human beings in existence today. They were not created from the dust of the earth like man was. Genesis 2:7-8 They are what I would call angels. They are not human in the fact that they are not of the lineage of Adam. They can take human shape, but they are not human, they’re angelic. Some are good and some are bad. The leader of the bad is Lucifer, who is out to deceive the whole world. The whole end-times is filled with times of great deception, all meant to deceive people into denying God or outright rebelling against Him. God even gives them over to their vain imaginings and God personally sends a strong delusion that they would believe a lie who had no love for the Truth. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-14  

I believe it is entirely possible that fallen angels posing as aliens could play a big part in this great deception as well. Obviously, the beast indwelt by Satan would be able to control these “aliens” because they are his underlings. This would give him credibility as one who has the power to provide peace and also advanced technology among other things. People will give themselves over to it. In fact, it may be this very thing that makes him deemed unbeatable in war. Revelation 13:4 And we see in Daniel 11:40-45, just prior to the Abomination of Desolation and the time of great tribulation, a powerful overcoming of Israel’s neighbors.

Are “aliens” mentioned in the Bible?

Yes, non-human beings from outside our earth (extra-terrestrial) are all throughout scripture. One of the first places is Genesis...

Genesis 6:1-8
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sonsH1121 of GodH430 [bene elohim ~ a term used only for direct creations of God] saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants [Nephilim] in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God [bene elohim] came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 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. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

So technically angels are aliens from our perspective. They are not of the lineage of Adam and Eve and were created before them. They were not given dominion over the Earth like man was, but throughout the Bible they interact with man, bringing visions and messages to the prophets of God and the malevolent ones tormenting mankind in various ways.

Here is an article by Dr. David R. Reagan of Lamb & Lion Ministries that goes into a little more detail of the nature of angels. His focus is on the angels of God that did not rebel, but it is important to remember the fallen angels have been around from the beginning as well.

The Nature of Angels

Dr. David R. Reagan

Angels are created spirit beings (Nehemiah 9:6 and Hebrews 1:14). Yet, the Bible clearly teaches that they can take on human form and appear to people. In the Old Testament there are recorded appearances of angels to Abraham, Hagar, Lot, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, David, Daniel, and many others. The New Testament opens with a whole series of angelic appearances related to the birth of the Messiah. After the death of Jesus, angels appeared at His tomb and at His ascension. Peter, John, Phillip, and Paul all had angelic encounters in their ministries.

In their Biblical appearances angels always manifest themselves as men. There is no mention of them having wings. The idea that angels have wings is rooted in the Bible’s description of some special angelic beings called Seraphim and Cherubim who reside in the throne room of God in Heaven. Seraphim are described as having six wings (Isaiah 6:2). Cherubim are depicted with four wings (Ezekiel 1:5-6).

When angels take on human form, they appear like any normal person (Genesis 18:2 and Genesis 19:1-17). When they manifest themselves in their spirit form, they tend to appear as dazzling light (Matthew 28:1-4).

Angels have emotions. They rejoiced over the creation of the universe (Job 38:7), and we are told that “there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (Luke 15:10).

Angels do not marry or procreate (Matthew 22:30), [except some of those that rebelled. (Jude 1:6 and Genesis 6:1-2)] They do not age nor are they subject to death (Luke 20:36). Therefore, their numbers remain constant. The exact number is not revealed, but it is very large. Ten thousand angels appeared to Moses on Mount Sinai (Deuteronomy 33:2). David saw 20,000 at one time (Psalm 68:17). When John was raptured to the throne room of God, he saw ten times ten thousand (KJV) or, as the New American Standard Version puts it: “myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands” (Revelation 5:11). The book of Hebrews says there are “innumerable myriads” (Hebrews 12:22).

Angels have great knowledge, but they are not omniscient. Jesus said, for example, that angels do not know when His Second Coming will take place (Mark 13:32). Angels are very powerful (2 Thessalonians 1:7 and 2 Peter 2:11), but they are not omnipotent. They are obedient servants of their Creator (Psalm 103:20). They can move about rapidly, but they are not omnipresent. In short, angels are not gods, and therefore, they are not to be worshiped (Colossians 2:18 and Revelation 22:8-9).

There is no biblical passage that says angels have to eat to stay alive, but the Bible portrays them as eating when they take on human form (Genesis 18:1-8 and 19:1-3). Also, Psalm 78:25 refers to the manna God provided to feed the children of Israel in the wilderness as “the bread of angels.”

In like manner, the Bible never specifically says that angels sing, but their singing is implied in two ways. First, their words are often expressed in poetic form (Luke 2:14, Revelation 4:8, 11, and Revelation 5:9-10,12-13). Second, music is a universal form of worship, and angels are pictured worshiping the Lord unceasingly (Psalm 148:1-2 and Revelation 4 and 5).

When angels speak to a person, they always use that person’s native language. But the Bible indicates that angels have a language of their own that they use among themselves (1 Corinthians 13:1).

Angels are not humans, although they can look like us. They were never born to human parents, they were created directly by God like our distant relatives Adam and Eve were, only before humans existed. We however are born into sin and only though Christ’s sacrifice will we become sons of God at the harpazo when we will put on our incorruptible bodies. 1 Corinthians 15:50-58 The fallen angels that participated in the events of Genesis 6 left their original bodies, what we desire to receive, in order to fornicate with the women of earth to produce unnatural offspring.

Jude 1:6
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

This is part of the reason for the flood and the destruction of the earth. The pre-flood Earth was not a good place. Most people project what they know of their own life experiences and say that God was wrong for killing women and children, etc. However, chances are that if He hadn’t, there would have been no pure lineage for Christ to come from and therefore, we would have either never been born or end up in hell with no salvation. Thank the Lord He knows the best way to bring about true justice and save those who call themselves by His name.

There are other stories of non-humans from outside our realm of existence and understanding coming and participating in human events. For instance, there are the angels that went to rescue Lot and his family from Sodom and Gomorrah. Revelation talks about frog spirits, and there’s a definite reptilian sense to much of the sightings. From scaly skin to black snake eyes, there’s a definite resemblance of this “seed” to a fallen angel, the very first.

Genesis 3:1-15
Now the serpent [Nachash] was more subtil [cunningH6175] than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Why wasn’t Eve surprised to be talking to a snake? Well, it has to do with the the translation of the word Nachash. Michael S. Heiser is a Hebrew scholar who points out that the Hebrew word Nachash is actually an adjective (meaning ‘bright,’ ‘brazen’ [as in shiny brass]) He points out the Hebrew in detail. Essentially, the Nachash, or “serpent,” was actually a being of light translated as “the shining one.” As Michael Points out, this is clearly in concert with descriptions of Lucifer in the Old Testament. Watch his presentation of this view here.

Lucifer is not of this world. We are children of Adam who came from the dust of this earth and we all came through him. Our origins are here, therefore, the seed of the shining one would repulse us because of the enmity put between us by God. Christ is the fulfillment of being bruised in the heel (death on the cross for sins) and bruising the head of the Nachash (ultimate defeat of Lucifer and eternity in God’s presence).

“Alien” abductions

Drawings of Aliens by the Children of Alien Abductions - This website has original drawings made by children who are abducted by aliens. It includes drawings of aliens, alien spacecraft, alien hybrids, children being abducted by aliens, and the things aliens do to children. For complete authenticity, descriptions and comments on the drawings have not been edited. The drawings of a brother and sister are featured on this website. Drawings of aliens by children all over the world are requested for display on this website.

Whitley Strieber, author of the book Communion (also made into a movie), described his experience as “demonic.” What stands out about this description is that he claims not to believe in demons yet this was the best way he could describe it! What better indication of the true nature of these beings that would come and take people to perform experimentations on and according to some reports impregnation and later harvesting. There are many, many stories of alien abductions given by people who, in most cases, would rather forget it ever happened. There was a recent scientific study on the validity of these abduction claims.

I also heard a statistic that almost 80% of abduction cases have some link to the occult. Either they dabble in it or even just had an experience before. This leads me to the conclusion that those perpetrating this are actually fallen angels and the same kind of genetic manipulation that occurred in Genesis when the bene Elohim produced the Nephilim.

Genesis 6:1-9
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God [bene Elohim] saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants [Nephilim] in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 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. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

These same conditions could be developing today in secret to be revealed later as God allows their evil to be loosed on the earth during the time of great tribulation and the outpouring of His wrath.
