Book Biblical UFO Revelations

Download or read book Biblical UFO Revelations written by Dr Barry H. Downing and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHRISTIAN MINISTER MAINTAINS - MIRACLES OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS ARE MANIFESTATIONS OF AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE The Reverend Barry Downing's credentials are impressive, adding scholarly weight to his theories regarding anomalous and miraculous events as portrayed in the Old and New Testaments. Downing holds a Ph.D. in the relation between religion and science from the University of Edinburgh of Scotland. He also has a bachelor's degree in physics from New York's Hartwick College as well as a degree from Princeton Theological Seminary. Dr. Downing has studied the Bible most of his life. . . Not unusual for a pastor, but what makes his evangelistic career unique is that he has also studied the UFO phenomena since the mid-1950s. The combination of both pursuits resulted in the 1968 publication of his controversial book, "The Bible and Flying Saucers," which would lay important groundwork regarding the blending of the divine with the theory that earth has been visited by extraterrestrials in ancient times and that these visitations continue to this day. This work is his long awaited sequel in which he expands upon the polemic issues previously put forth, including that the - ** Parting of the Red Sea in the Bible's Exodus was accomplished by a cylindrical UFO, a cigars haped ship whose kind is still reported. ** That Jesus was an extraterrestrial sent to earth to rid the world of sin and wickedness, quoting Biblical text to support his claim. ** That Jesus left earth in a spaceship to another planet, or perhaps another spatial dimension. ** That angels were actually aliens and that the "angelic aliens" spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai where he boarded a UFO to receive the Ten Commandments and specifications for the construction of the Tabernacle. It was aliens who guided the ancient Israelites, providing them with manna in the wilderness. ** In the modern world, Downing contends with mainstream religion's refusal to take the subject seriously. Christian liberals don't want to hear the miracles of the Bible were real and Christian conservatives don't want the miracles credited to simple aliens in flying saucers. Thus one can see that Downing, an ordained minister, is bravely risking disapproval from a wide swathe of fellow Christians not ready for his message. Many of the issues discussed by the author raise the issue of ontology, or what is real and what is the nature of being. Rev. Downing believes that recent discoveries in quantum physics tend to confirm that Biblical phenomena could be real. "Modern quantum physics has revealed a world," he states, "that is not full of 'solid objects' on one hand and space on the other, but rather a dynamic world in which solid objects are mostly space, with various types of quantum energy spinning away to create the illusion of solid objects, making it difficult to know for certain what we think we know." As for a possible global cover-up of the UFO phenomenon, Rev. Downing espouses the theory that if UFOs truly carry the angels of Christ, their "strange technology and behavior" may be as upsetting to government scientists as the Resurrection of Jesus was to the disciples. "Their 'real-world' understanding had to expand, and so must ours," he rightfully concludes. This book is for the faithful as well as those who are primarily interested in unexplained historical phenomena as revealed in Biblical as well as other ancient texts, as well as seekers of censored truths concerning the hidden and forbidden knowledge of mankind.

Book excerpt: Whitely Strieber, author of Communion: A True Story considered Alien Scriptures: Extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible to be, "the best book ever written on the subject." Reverend Michael S. Carter's Alien Scriptures: Extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible is written from the point of view of a man or woman in biblical times, anything that came down from the sky would be considered a god, or at least sent by the gods. Now consider what the site of modern technology, such as a helicopter or rocket ship, would do to the mind of a 1st century man or woman. The explanation of this type of phenomenon would probably sound an awful lot like what we find in civilization's most sacred books. Reverend Michael S. Carter explores the possibilities that the Bible, Koran, and other religious texts contain clues to visitations from extraterrestrials in this expanded second edition of Alien Scriptures: Extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible. Rev. Michael J. Carter is originally from Baltimore, Maryland. He moved to New York City in 1980 and lived there for 25 years, working as a professional actor before moving to Asheville with his family. Michael is an ordained Interfaith minister and received his BA Degree in Letters from the College of New Rochelle where he graduated cum laude. He received his Masters In Divinity Degree from Union Theological Seminary in New York City (class of 2000).While serving various Unitarian Universalist Congregations in New York, Michael was trained as an anti-racism trainer and has been recognized by President Clinton for his efforts. Michael was also a weekly columnist for the Asheville Citizen Times. Rev. Carter now serves as the minister for Unitarian Universalist Congregation of The Swananoa Valley, in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. Rev. Carter has written articles on UFOs and Religion for such publications as UFO Magazine, Alien Encounters ( A British Publication), The MUFON UFO Journal, Contact Forum, The S.P.A.C.E. Newsletter (Support Program for Abductees Contact Encounters) a UFO support group in New York City. He has spoken at UFO Conferences such as the 2nd Philadelphia, Need To Know Conference, The Annual Long Island UFO Conference with Budd Hopkins, as well as appearing on radio and TV appearances across the nation. Rev. Carter has also appeared on Japanese television discussing the Bible and UFOs. A long-time UFO experiencer, he lectures extensively on the topic of religion and UFOs. He has appeared on the Sci-Fi Channel's production of Steven Spielberg's Abduction Diaries, The Real 4400, Coast to Coast AM, and is a frequent guest on The History Channel's production of Ancient Aliens.

Book The Bible and Flying Saucers

Download or read book The Bible and Flying Saucers written by Barry Downing and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-10 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis of this book is that the Bible contains stories of beings, angels that come down from the sky, and are sometimes associated with objects in the sky such as the "pillar of cloud by day, and pillar of fire by night," which led the Jewish Exodus from Egypt. This UFO is similar to modern UFOs, which one military pilot described as looking like a Tic Tac, cylindrical, white or cloud like in color, about 40 feet long, rounded on each end, with no visible propulsion system. It seems likely that the UFOs seen in modern times are related to the same reality that started the biblical religion in both its Old and New Testament forms. Chapter 3 studies the book of Exodus in great detail, explaining how the Exodus UFO (pillar of cloud and fire) apparently used its propulsion system to part the Red Sea. In the New Testament, it is argued that our modern alien/angels were probably the power that raised Jesus from the dead, and carried the risen Jesus to the Damascus Road where the Apostle Paul was converted (Acts 9). This book has some parallels with Erich Von Daniken's "Chariots of the Gods?", but differs from Von Daniken in that it is argued that the aliens are not "gods," as Von Daniken suggests, but rather beings who have a high knowledge of God, and created the Biblical religions, in both their Jewish and Christian form, to move the human race away from idolatry, and toward a more spiritual sense of the divine reality. Chapter V asks, "Where is Heaven?" and explores the possibility that the resurrection stories of Jesus, where he is able to enter locked rooms after his resurrection, suggests that heaven may be "another dimension" in the midst of us. Modern UFOs are reported to appear and disappear in an instant, suggesting they too may be part of a multi-dimensional reality. Einstein's Theory of Relativity is offered as a clue to understanding some of the strange resurrection stories. This book is an attempt to make sense of biblical stories that suggest the presence of extraterrestrial powers, and to examine modern UFO stories for evidence that biblical angels, and modern aliens, may be the same reality.

Book Ancient Aliens in the Bible

Download or read book Ancient Aliens in the Bible written by Xaviant Haze and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Starting from the Old Testament these pages address the story of what is often not highlighted or, worse, deliberately forgotten or interpreted differently in order to conceal the potential disruptive effects.”—Mauro Biglino Did a distant race of ancient aliens once inhabit the lands of the Bible? Do the ancient writings of the Bible and other texts provide proof of their existence? Did the “prophets” have close encounters with ancient aliens? Were the “angels” physical beings sent to perform specific tasks by their alien masters? Ancient Aliens in the Bible answers these questions and more. Analyzing the historical and archaeological evidence, and using the work of former Vatican translator Mauro Biglino as his guide, Xaviant Haze provides ample proof that what our ancestors described in ancient biblical texts were real-life events and not visions. The UFO encounters in the Bible are described as concrete experiences by flesh-and-blood beings. The angels were assigned specific duties and struggled to carry them out; some even rebelled and took earthly wives, forbidden by their superiors. Ancient Aliens in the Bible reveals that: • Lamech’s wife gave birth to the son of an angel with glowing eyes. • Moses was led to the promised land by UFOs. • Noah’s great-grandfather, Enoch, got a heavenly tour of space. Your view of the Bible will never be the same.

Book UFOs  Armageddon and Biblical Revelations

Download or read book UFOs Armageddon and Biblical Revelations written by Timothy Green Beckley and published by Inner Light/Global Communications. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NONSECTARIAN, NONDENOMINATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF BIBLICAL MIRACLES, PROPHECIES AND MODERN ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA, INCLUDING UFOS AND MARIAN APPARITIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD, TRUE BELIEVERS SAY THAT THE LORD IS SHOWING HIMSELF IN SUPERNATURAL WAYS! Are we living in the "Last Days," as described in the Book of Revelation? Is there evidence that the words of the Bible are true and have special meaning to those willing to accept them as gospel? What is the connection between UFOs, the Scriptures and the Signs, Symbols and Wonders of Biblical proportions that appear to be manifesting all around us? Are we to accept at face value the phantasmagorical stories told by those who claim to have been "taken up" (where?) - such as Whitley Strieber, Betty Andreasson Luca, Raymond Fowler, and contactees like Orfeo Angelucci and George Van Tassel? Strange events are taking place daily, and you should be alerted to them, be you a "true believer," an occasional churchgoer, a devout heretic or even an atheist. We are told that we all have the free will to determine the source of the messages and miracles seemingly supported by an endless array of photos showing weeping holy statues, miraculous apparitions of the "Lady in White" - who many believe to be "Mother Mary" - as well as Jesus descending from the clouds, as if in a preview of the Second Coming that the righteous say will take place soon. Skeptics counter those beliefs by saying these are merely the holograms, or projections, created by the New World Order (or the CIA?) to confuse the public in a Satanically-based "disinformation" campaign. Here are numerous photos of the "Spinning Sun" taken at Fatima in 1917, just found recently in the Vatican's underground vaults. Also the "ecstasy" trances, walks and levitations of those claiming to be overcome by the Holy Spirit. UFO are definitely part of the equation, says the author, Sean Casteel, who relies not only on his firsthand investigations of the phenomena for over 30 years, but on the testimony of those who have experienced close encounters or claimed to have been abducted by "aliens." Are beautiful angelic beings residing alongside us NOW, disguised as everyday mortals? How can you detect them? Why do most fundamentalists believe that all UFOs are demonic, and do officials in the government and military agree with this theory, believing that if there was full Disclosure that Satan might be unleashed upon the Earth? And what could be the future of organized religion in general? Has the last Pope taken his papal seat only to oversee the fall of the Church? As current as today's headlines, the author examines the killer plagues now sweeping the globe. While COVID-19 gets all the attention, two continents have been devastated by a plague right out of Exodus, as vast swarms of locusts with bright gauzy wings attack from the sky. Many Native Americans say they know what is about to transpire, their tribal prophecies being based upon direct and personal contacts with the "Sky People," who can easily be associated either with angels or extraterrestrials. There is a belief that "they" will come down and save many of the "Chosen Ones," much like the Rapture spoken of by those who are about to welcome Jesus "for real." This is a book for all people, for all faiths, or no faith, and for those willing to sort through the many doctrines to get to the truth about the otherworldly phenomena that could be Heavenly or something darker. We invite you to join us in our quest to find out the truth about the apparitions and manifestations that may soon affect us all. It is a fascinating journey that you cannot afford to miss!

Book excerpt: Ancient truths hidden in plain sight for thousands of years. In 1968 Erich Von Daniken cracked open a door that millions of the curious have peered through with wonderment and possibly some bewilderment. Now, standing on the shoulders of that giant, the door is soundly kicked wide open by Ken Goudsward in this astounding new examination of the scriptures, utilizing unprecedented Hebrew exegesis to reveal no less than 30 extraterrestrial encounters within the pages of the best-selling book of all time. At a time of crossroads between disclosure and conspiracy, never has the Bible been more relevant. "a fascinating and well thought out book on the many strange UFO descriptions found in the Bible. Goudsward covers all the bases" - David Hatcher Childress, author of the Bestseller Technology of the Gods: The Incredible Sciences of the Ancients "a thoughtful and provocative deep-dive into potentially UFO and alien-related references in the bible, a few of which have been noted before, but most of which will be new to readers." - Nick Pope, UK Ministry of Defence (Retired) "challenges us to embrace the very distinct possibility that our sacred scriptures are telling us that we have been visited by Star People in humanity's distant past, and that these visitors (intentionally or not) have influenced the origins of monotheistic religion. He goes where the evidence is leading him. Perhaps, we should have the courage to take the risk and follow." - Rev. Michael J. S. Carter. Author of Alien Scriptures: Extraterrestrials In The Holy Bible "an important work of easily accessible scholarship" - Jim Willis, author of Censoring God: The History of the Lost Books (and other Excluded Scriptures) and Hidden History: Ancient Aliens And The Suppressed Origins Of Civilization

  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2019-01-23
  • ISBN : 0190693509
  • Pages : 274 pages

Download or read book American Cosmic written by D.W. Pasulka and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-23 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than half of American adults and more than seventy-five percent of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life. This level of belief rivals that of belief in God. American Cosmic examines the mechanisms at work behind the thriving belief system in extraterrestrial life, a system that is changing and even supplanting traditional religions. Over the course of a six-year ethnographic study, D.W. Pasulka interviewed successful and influential scientists, professionals, and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who believe in extraterrestrial intelligence, thereby disproving the common misconception that only fringe members of society believe in UFOs. She argues that widespread belief in aliens is due to a number of factors including their ubiquity in modern media like The X-Files, which can influence memory, and the believability lent to that media by the search for planets that might support life. American Cosmic explores the intriguing question of how people interpret unexplainable experiences, and argues that the media is replacing religion as a cultural authority that offers believers answers about non-human intelligent life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a mass of reports from the remotest times which indicate that visitors from outer space-coming in chariots of fire or clouds of light-played an intimate role in the formation of the people of Israel, moreover in their transformation into Christians. Since most of the reports come from saints and other trustworthy characters, the integrity of these witnesses and the antiquity of the reports make it practically impossible to explain away the sightings of chariots of fire and clouds of light as satellites, helicopters, or simply fabrications engineered by publicity-seeking cranks. The questions answered by GOD'S CHARIOTS include: What was the purpose of the visitations from space? How did these visitors from space look like? Who were the Magi? What did they follow? How did Jesus travel great distances? Why was it possible for Elijah and Moses to have a meeting with Jesus hundreds of years after their time? Exactly under what circumstances did Jesus ascend into heaven? What secret investigations followed his ascension? How did the Virgin Mary ascend into heaven? How were the apostles and many of the saints transported from place to place? Gain stunning insights into the true nature of religion by reading this quintessential book. No book is as unique as this one.

From the mythic legends of our ancient past to the first-hand accounts of the UFO abductee, owls are playing some vital role.This is also a deeply personal story. It is an odyssey of self-discovery as the author grapples with his own owl and UFO encounters. What plays out is a story of transformation with the owl at the heart of this journey.

Book excerpt: A startling exploration of the history of the most controversial book of the Bible, by the bestselling author of Beyond Belief. Through the bestselling books of Elaine Pagels, thousands of readers have come to know and treasure the suppressed biblical texts known as the Gnostic Gospels. As one of the world's foremost religion scholars, she has been a pioneer in interpreting these books and illuminating their place in the early history of Christianity. Her new book, however, tackles a text that is firmly, dramatically within the New Testament canon: The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world . . . or is it? In this startling and timely book, Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds-Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies. In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed. It is sure to appeal to Pagels's committed readers and bring her a whole new audience who want to understand the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions, and to appreciate the lasting appeal of this extraordinary text.
