and Elijah came to meet Jesus on the Mount of Trausfiguration via "a
bright cloud''• We know what these "clouds" were~ The "cloud" disap
peared with them again. The poor ·man in Luke 16, was carried by space
men into another world. Do space~men carry away into heaven or space
the "souls" of the dead? A woman ;in Rev. 12, was given unusual loco
motive powers to escape her enemy. These instances can be multiplied
hundreds of times!!
Even God's activities now become c1earer! God's pre$ence in scripture-
is described "like birds hovering" (Isa . 31:5). The l).overing is a
hovering of some flying object. "Clouds" are called Jlis chariot, with
them comes the wind, fire and flame (Ps. 104). · one reads of "a swift
cloud 11 ( Isa . 19:1), in other words a space-ship. Note the following
description: "Then the earth reeled and rocked: the :foundations also
of the mountains trembled and quaked, because He was angry . Smoke went
up from His nostrils, and devouring fire from His mouth: glowing Qoals
flamed forth from Him. He bowed the heavens and came down. Thick dark
ness was under His feet. He rode on a cherub and flew. He came swiftly
upon the wings of the wind" (Ps. 18). We have discussed these signs
above. They describe a space-ship, although the observer here, in not
seeing the pilot, describes the space-ship as though it were a person.
Perhaps in this case this space-ship might be God's own private space
ship or the so-called "mother" ship• Why should we deny God the right
to make a machine and use it too, if He wants to?
God's presence with Israel in the d~sert was via a "pillar of cloud" in
the day a.nd by night a "pillar of fire"; the fire of course would not be
visible in the sky by day (Exo. 13); Out of this cloud God harassed the
Egyptians . In Isa. 66, it is reporlted "for behold the Lord will come in
fire and His chariots like the stor~-wi nd with flames of fire". And a
gain, "His chariots are like the whirlwind" (.Jer. 4:13) . Psalms 68:17,
claims that God lived on Mount Sinai for a while with 20,000 chariots.
Big "clouds" settled on Mount Sinai with "fire 0 and "smoke" for forty
days. Moses was given the tablets of the law on this mountain, through
the intervention of space-men, ... Paul tells us. Sinai seems to have
been God's headquarters for a certqin maneuver at this time. Space-men
with their ships always seem to be present when God's people are in dan
ger. Even a difficult passage like "And the 'glory 1 of the Lord went up
from the midst of the city and stoQd upon the mountain" (Ezk. 11:23),
now becomes clear. It means that 1he ships took off from the middle of
the city, the take-off place, and then landed on a mountain.
Neither should we forget that God is called the Lord of 11 Sabbaoth11 in ·
the Bible , which means the Lord of "hosts" or "armies" - real armies,
apace-armies. This name "the Lord of hosts", is the most used name for
God in the Bible . He is the God of war. This title is used hundreds
of times together with the complementary· phrase "hosts of heaven", · or
hosts of space . Jacob once saw tb,.e whole assembled army. We -read,
"The angels (space-men) of God met him and when Jacob saw them he said ,
'This is God's army '." (Gen. 32). These hosts were at one time an ob
ject of worship by earth-men. It seems that God often came down out of
heaven or space to earth to fulfill His plans and to carry out certain
campaigns.
When the space-ships were station~ry and when the central turret was
raised, they looked like thrones, and are so-called in scripture. "His
throne was fiery flames, its wheels were burning fire, a stream of fire
issued and came forth from before Him 11 (Dan. 7:9). No ordinary thrones
these, but space-ships ! In Rev. ,, we ha.ve a unique description of the
"mother" ship and twenty-four others on a landing-field which looked
like a "sea of glass-like crystal", and from them all came flashes of
lightning, voices and peals of thunder".
