FLYING SAUCERS: THE BIBLE CONNECTION
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Bible scholar, Barry Downing, firmly believes that biblical teachings were
|
|||
|
|
inspired by extraterrestial beings who camw to earth in flying sausers. Downing
|
|||
|
|
was so convinced, he wrote a book about his theory called THE BIBLE AND FLYING
|
|||
|
|
SAUCERS (Lippincott,New York, 1968).
|
|||
|
|
In the book, Downing says the bible clearly points out how UFOs played a
|
|||
|
|
strong role in the evolution of the Hebrew-Christian faith. For example,
|
|||
|
|
Downing believes the Scriptures suggest that Jesus' resurrection occured when
|
|||
|
|
he was beamed up from Earth by a flying saucer.
|
|||
|
|
Downing also believes that the bright cloud that led the people of Israel
|
|||
|
|
through the Red Sea, parting the waters and then engulfing the Egyptions, was a
|
|||
|
|
UFO.
|
|||
|
|
The Author even claims it was space beings who spoke to Moses from the
|
|||
|
|
middle of a glowing thicket, and later spoke to Elijah outside the cave,forcing
|
|||
|
|
the prophet to sheild his eyes because of the brightness. A UFO took Jesus away
|
|||
|
|
at the Ascension, and hovered over Paul and his followers on the Damascus Road,
|
|||
|
|
Downing contends.
|
|||
|
|
Further, the author claims the three wise men probably followed a UFO to
|
|||
|
|
Bethlehem, since stars do not move or abruptly stop in the manner the bible
|
|||
|
|
describes.
|
|||
|
|
Downing claims that evidence proving UFOs could be hazardous to human health
|
|||
|
|
can also be found in the Bible. He points to references to the Egyptians
|
|||
|
|
drowning in the Red Sea, warning Moses not to approach too near the burning
|
|||
|
|
bush, and warnings given his followers not to approach Mount Sinai, as proof.
|
|||
|
|
The author points out other mystifying events in the Bible that he believes can
|
|||
|
|
only be interpreted to mean the participants had contact with UFOs,
|
|||
|
|
For example, he points out that when Moses decended from Mount Sinai with
|
|||
|
|
two tablets in his hands, Exodus records that the skin of his face shone from
|
|||
|
|
talking with God. And he says the NEW TESTAMENT describes how Jesus began to
|
|||
|
|
glow when in contact with a bright object on a mountain.
|
|||
|
|
When the Tabernacle was built, Downing cotends the priests serving it were
|
|||
|
|
told by ETs what clothing to wear to protect themselves against radiation,
|
|||
|
|
because the UFO hovered like a cloud over the tent enclosing the Tabernacle.
|
|||
|
|
Downing believes this precaution could have brought about the Jewish custom of
|
|||
|
|
wearing skullcaps into houses of worship. The author even suggest mutations in
|
|||
|
|
the growth of biological life caused by radiation could have resulted in the
|
|||
|
|
plagues described in Exodus.
|
|||
|
|
Downing further theorizes that Einstein's curvature of space theory provides a
|
|||
|
|
clue to the place where heaven is located. The author contends Jesus may have
|
|||
|
|
meant that the kingdom of heaven quite literally rests in the midst of us,
|
|||
|
|
meaning that heaven is on an entirely different plane or wave length, invisible
|
|||
|
|
to us, but existing parallel to our own and connected by bends or warps in the
|
|||
|
|
space-time continuum.
