Most religious people and Bible scholars would agree that the centerpoint of the Christian Bible is the life and message of Jesus Christ. Many people often wonder who he really was. Was he just another prophet? Just a man who happened to be a really good person? The very Son of God? Personally, when I read his message I see wisdom that was much before its time. He not only taught the basic spiritual principle of loving your fellow man - he also seemed to have some real insight into scientific principles:

• He demonstrated an understanding of how the human body works as evidenced with healings
• He shared knowledge of future events such as the destruction of Jerusalem and catostrophic visions of the "end times"
• He understood and saw spiritual forces that were at work in the world - forces that to this day many people don't even realize exist and mainstream science in our society is just beginning to study

Star Of Bethlehem

Ok, I'm going to play the part of the person who doesn't know what an airplane is. Now, if I were to tell you that last night I saw a set of flashing stars that moved across the sky, what would you say? Would you agree that they were stars, or would you tell me that I really saw an airplane?

With this in mind, look at the following passages. Remember, the wise men knew what stars were, but probably didn't know what UFOs were:

We all know that stars don't move across the sky and hover over a particular house, don't we? If I'm wrong about that, I hope there's an astronomer out there who will let me know. So what was it that the wise men saw hovering over that house? Could it be the first UFO recorded in association with the life of Christ? Or maybe it wasn't...

Shepherds And Angels

Wow, it must have been quite a sight. Were these angels accompanied by UFOs? Maybe that's what is meant when it says they went "into heaven." And it could account for the amazing amount of light that they reported.

Other Events During The Life Of Christ

Hmm, strange, hey? The account doesn't give a weather report, but imagine if there was a low cloud cover that day. I've seen fog cover in the city where you can only see four or five stories of a building before the fog completely obscures it, even if you are standing right next to the building. Do you think maybe a craft could have been hiding in some low clouds or fog, watching Jesus speak, when it got a message to relay to the crowds? Now remember what I said in the introduction to the UFO section of the EARS site, I don't take anything away from the power of God, but maybe this was one of those cases where he used extraterrestrial workers to help do his work.

Jesus' Baptism

Here we see another case of a voice from heaven. In this case, the gospel writer also includes a visual picture of "heaven being torn open." When I hear this phrase I envision a bright light, or some other event in the sky that the gospel writer had trouble explaining. Whatever it was, it's clear that there was something extraordinary happening in the skies that day over the Jordan river.

The Transfiguration

Notice how the event was enough to really scare the usually brave Peter, but Jesus remained calm. Was this something Jesus had seen before? He seemed very at ease with the whole situation. If the bright light came from some kind of craft that had landed, it may indicate that Jesus was very familiar with these craft and they were nothing new to him. Maybe this was something that actually happened often in those times where Jesus went off by himself to pray.

Jesus' Final UFO Encounter?

The account states that a "cloud" hid him from their site. Was Jesus final departure into a UFO? From what I read here, I don't have a better explanation. If it was a UFO, was the ascension of Jesus his final UFO encounter?

Nope, we ain't seen nothin' yet...

The men dressed in white who are recorded above tell the witnesses that Jesus will come back in the same way he left. Jesus agreed. Here's what he had to say about his return:

Even before he appeared before the high priest, Jesus had told his disciples the very same thing:

Jesus "Away Team"

I wonder what other place he was referring to. If it's not of this world, what world is it from? I know, you're probably saying "Well you dummy, he's from heaven." Yes, I know that, but what does that term really mean? Jesus specifically says that he has a kingdom, and it is in a specific place.

Personally, while researching this article, that's not the most amazing thing I found. I knew that Jesus had said that about himself. Even more surprising is that wherever Jesus was from, it seems his disciples were also from. Check out the following passage where Jesus is referring specifically to the twelve apostles:

A very short but direct comment. Many write this off by saying that he was speaking figuratively or something like that, but I think it more likely that Jesus meant exactly what he said.

If your mind is open to the possiblility that Jesus was from a kingdom that was in a specific place outside of planet earth, and that he incarnated here on a particular mission, doesn't it make sense that he'd bring along some personal assistants? This might explain some of Jesus' other actions in relation to the twelve apostles. He actually hand picked them out of a much larger group of disciples:

Do you think that perhaps he recognized them as special workers from "his kingdom" even though they did not yet realize that fact? It's also interesting that immediately after he met some of the people who he would later bring out of a larger group to be part of the twelve apostles, Jesus called them by names other than their earth-given names. The man whose parents had named "Simon son of John" Jesus instead chose to call "Cephas" which can be translated into the name we still call him today - "Peter" (see John 1:42). He called James and John the "Sons of Thunder" (Mark 3:17) - maybe that was a nickname they got in his kingdom and Jesus was referring to it then to help them recall that. This kind of "mission recall," even at a subconscious level in the minds of the disciples, could also help explain why the twelve apostles are described as immediately dropping their entire careers and following this then relatively unknown person who was roaming around the countryside.

Angelic Armies Available

In fact, these angelic forces are recorded as assisting him a number of times during his mission on earth. They were there to assist him after his temptation in the desert:

They were there in the Garden of Gethsemane when Jesus was wrestling with completing the final stages of his earthly mission:

Finally, they assisted with the task of helping his disciples realize that he had indeed risen from the dead as he had promised:

"Then they remembered his words" - interesting to note here that even though Jesus clearly taught his disciples what was going to happen, his disciples didn't quite understand it until they saw it actually happen. A similar thing has happened throughout history with the whole UFO phenomenon being associated with Jesus hasn't it? For ages people have read the same Bible that you and I have today but never associated UFOs with any of the events. How could they have until UFO events started to become part of the common person's reality? Today just about everyone has at least heard of UFOs whether they believe they are real or not. We are finally starting to get the information that we need to begin making the connection.

Did Jesus Refer To Non Angelic Off-Planet Followers?

Interesting. Of course, this passage can be interpreted to mean that he was concerned about people outside of Isreal, if Isreal was what he was referring to when he said "this sheep pen." But what if the sheep pen that he was referring to was the planet earth? If this is what he meant, he may well have been referring to a desire for a day when his followers who resided off-planet would be united with those on earth who will choose to follow his teachings.

A Second Opinion

He was referring here to the testimony of John the Baptist. Let's take a look at what he says about Jesus to see if he might hint at an extraterrestrial origin:
 

John the Baptist seems to make it clear that Jesus does not belong to the earth, and actually calls him "the one who comes from heaven." Interesting how he notes that Jesus testifies to what he has seen and heard. Where would Jesus have seen and heard these things? John makes it clear that his message was not from planet earth, but he was bringing a message to planet earth from somewhere else.

I'd imagine that much of Jesus' testimony that John is referring to might not have been recorded, or might have been edited out at a later time. Maybe he gave his actual disciples even clearer accounts of his origins that they knew people of the time wouldn't understand but they put enough hints in their accounts that once we were aware of the modern UFO phenomenon we could begin to figure it out. As far as the topic of UFOs in the Bible, even though we have a number of accounts that could be UFOs in our current Bible, we can be sure that there were many more in the actual life of Christ. Take the following example where Jesus is talking to the disciple Nathanael:

Nowhere in the Gospels is this event actually recorded, but if we take Jesus at his word, it must have happened sometime during Nathanael's lifetime. Kind of makes you wonder how many other extraordinary events like this never made it into our current version of the Bible.

What Does All This Mean?

IMPORTANT: Please note that I am NOT implying that all encounters with UFOs are related to Jesus. In fact, many could actually be working to try to prevent Jesus' return (a foolish and misguided attempt in my opinion) and in a lot of cases the argument that aliens are "demonic" may well be true. Just as in Biblical times, there are two sides at work today.

The fact that there are two sides at work makes it even more important that people get to know the real Jesus. He himself predicted that many would come claiming to be him. He also said that many would fall for those kinds of tricks. Certainly, anyone trying to imitate Jesus would play on common stereotypes about what the popular culture believes Jesus would be like.

How many people have actually taken the time to get to know the REAL Jesus personally well enough to tell the difference? If he came back in a UFO today - riding on the clouds as he put it - how many people do you think would recognize him? Would you?
