Does the Bible say anything about aliens? Actually we have very few references in the Bible that may suggest that there is other life on other planets in the universe. Let's take a look at these references. First we turn to the book of Job 1:6 "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. 7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/JOB.1.KJV So this phrase the "sons of God" is really the only reference we have, but what does it mean? Let's see Luke 3:38 "which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/LUK.3.KJV Adam was called a son of God because God created him. See Genesis 1:26: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/GEN.1.KJV When God created Adam and Eve on the earth He gave them dominion over the earth. When satan convinced Adam and Eve to sin, Adam lost dominion of the earth to satan. Genesis 3:17 "And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/GEN.3.KJV So in Job when the sons of God were assembled satan came instead of Adam. A reference in Matthew 18 gives another clue and it reads in verses 11-13 "11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/MAT.18.KJV Jesus came to save this one planet who went astray. The only other real, Holy Spirit filled writings that we have concerning life on other planets comes from what Adventists call "The Spirit of Prophecy". For those who are not Adventists these writings come from a lady named Ellen G. White. For more on her see this link: https://www.amazingfacts.org/media-library/study-guide/e/5001/t/does-god-inspire-astrologers-and-psychics- EGW has this to say about unfallen worlds: "The Son of God stooped to uplift the fallen. For this He left the sinless worlds on high, the ninety and nine that loved Him, and came to this earth to be “wounded for our transgressions” and “bruised for our iniquities.” Isaiah 53:5 AA 472.1" https://egwwritings.org/read?panels=p127.2088&index=0 "In this choice the principles of Satan were made manifest; and the hosts of heaven, and all the worlds that God had created, judged that Satan was an accuser of the brethren, a liar, and a murderer. In heaven and among the unfallen worlds the question of Satan’s deceiving power, of his malignant principles, was settled, and the perfect purity and holiness of Christ, who was bearing the test and trial in behalf of fallen man, was forever proved. Through the development of Satan’s character and principles, he was forever uprooted from the affection of the unfallen worlds, and the controversy concerning his claims and the claims of Christ was forever settled in heaven. ST June 5, 1893, par. 9 https://egwwritings.org/read?panels=p820.21438&index=0 "He proved to the inhabitants of the unfallen worlds and to human beings that the law can be kept. While possessing the nature of man, He obeyed the law of God, vindicating God’s justice in demanding that it be obeyed. In the judgment His life will be an unanswerable argument in favor of God’s law. 8LtMs, Ms 48, 1893, par. 16" https://egwwritings.org/read?panels=p14058.6477023&index=0 "With intense interest the loyal angels and the inhabitants of the unfallen worlds are watching the controversy going on on this earth. Soon the conflict will be forever ended. Soon Christ will come to take to himself those who have fought the good fight of faith. BTS October 1, 1902, par. 4" https://egwwritings.org/read?panels=p462.41&index=0 "Not until the death of Christ was the character of Satan clearly revealed to the angels or to the unfallen worlds. The archapostate had so clothed himself with deception that even holy beings had not understood his principles. They had not clearly seen the nature of his rebellion. DA 758.3" https://egwwritings.org/read?panels=p130.3745&index=0 "There is the throne, and around it the rainbow of promise. There are cherubim and seraphim. The commanders of the angel hosts, the sons of God, the representatives of the unfallen worlds, are assembled. The heavenly council before which Lucifer had accused God and His Son, the representatives of those sinless realms over which Satan had thought to establish his dominion,—all are there to welcome the Redeemer. They are eager to celebrate His triumph and to glorify their King. DA 834.1" https://egwwritings.org/readpanels=p130.4108&index=0 I really like the way that EGW equates "the sons of God" with "the representatives of the unfallen worlds." This gives more validity to the text in Job that we looked at earlier. There are many other statements made by EGW regarding the unfallen worlds, they have all watched with interest the unfolding of the great controversy between God and satan, but they are not permitted to come here. They are untainted by sin. The only beings that are on the earth are humans, angels and demons. (And of course God, Himself) Angels have and can manifest themselves as either humans or angels. Hebrews 13:2 says, "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/HEB.13.KJV Luke 1:19 "And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings."https://www.bible.com/bible/1/LUK.1.KJV God sends angels with messages, He sends them to help us, but He ALWAYS sends them either in the form of an angel, or in the form of plain ordinary people. It has always been satan's desire to deceive and destroy mankind. The entertainment industry has been called Jesuit theater. Satan uses the entertainment industry to tell about his plans. For many years the entertainment industry has had an uptake in talk about aliens. Movies such as Independence Day and The Tomorrow War, a movie that came out on amazon in 2021 warns about aliens coming to destroy the earth and many other movies make alien invasions seem as if common place. It is fairly evident that satan is preparing to appear on this earth probably in an alien invasion scenario. 2 Corinthians 11:14 "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/2CO.11.KJV Matthew 24:23 "Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/MAT.24.KJV There is a series called Ancient Aliens which talks about how "aliens" supposedly "help" people with technology. The Biblical narrative is in disagreement with this. First of all mankind was made perfect. They lived around 900 years. Thus the people that lived before the flood were smarter and lived long enough to probably have figured out WAY more technology than we even have today. (see link for some more info: https://www.bitchute.com/video/wqKlVD67IBlj/) Let's just take one example of what the series Ancient Aliens has to say, They say in one of the videos that somehow the ark of the covenant created the manna that the Bible says God rained down from heaven. So let's take a look at this from a Biblical standpoint. Exodus 16:4 "Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no. 5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/EXO.16.KJV Now, the manna started in Exodus chapter 16 and in Exodus chapter 25, God gives the plans to build the Ark of the covenant. Exodus 25:10 "And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. 11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about. 12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it. 13 And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. 14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. 15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. 16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. 17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. 18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. 19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof. 20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be. 21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. 22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/EXO.25.KJV The ark was then made in Exodus chapter 37. Exodus 37:1 "And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it: 2 and he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about. 3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it. 4 And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold. 5 And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. 6 And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof. 7 And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat; 8 one cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof. 9 And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims." https://www.bible.com/bible/1/EXO.37.KJV So exactly how does a box that isn't created until Exodus 37 responsible for manna that started falling in Exodus 16? This is only one example of erroneous ideas thrown out by the series Ancient Aliens. In short, this series undermines the validity of the Biblical narrative.
