Aliens and the Antichrist: Unveiling the End Times Deception (9 page)

God’s presence creates holy ground, and God’s presence flowing through his servants can create holy ground as well. As the apostle Peter walked through the streets, his shadow healed people when it passed over them. As for the Old Testament prophet Elisha, even the bones of his dead body held enough spiritual residue of God’s presence that they resurrected a man from the dead (2 Kings 13:21).

Acts 5:15

Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

2 Kings 13:21

And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

Angels create holy ground and holy water as well, which is the aquatic equivalent. The pool of Bethesda that Jesus visited during his ministry (John 5:2-4) was a place that contained holy water. Just as I theorized about cursed ground creating portals where beings of lower realms can penetrate our own realm, this place of holy ground seemed to be a portal where beings from a higher realm entered our current realm. Angels would periodically touch the waters of this pool. On such occasions, the first one to touch the water when it stirred would be healed.

John 5:2

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

5. Interplanetary/Interdimensional Travel

I began by speaking about the heavens, then about holy and cursed ground and their relation to overlapping realms of existence in a multidimensional universe. I then fell into the tangent of ghosts when speaking of how beings from other dimensions may be perceived by people from our own dimension (or level of glory). I will now bring relevance to the tangent of ghosts, by backing away from Earth and redirecting my focus back into the heavens. The same concept of inter- dimensional beings (ghosts being one example) can be examined at the macro level.

Among the highly advanced beings who exist throughout the cosmos, some have achieved the ability to access other worlds or dimensions (whether through innate abilities, technological means, or other methods). Following are a few of the caveats of said activity.

5.1. Interplanetary/Interdimensional Travel Conducted by Cursed Beings

Scripture provides a number of examples of cursed beings who achieved or were innately capable of interplanetary/interdimensional travel. This access appears to have certain limitations, however. Concerning fallen angels, Satan once had unlimited access to the highest heaven, but since his fall from glory, his kingdom was destroyed (Isaiah 14:12—14; Ezekiel 28:11—19), and his access to the highest heaven has been limited.

Isaiah 14:12—16
(bold emphasis added)

How art thou fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How art thou cut down to the ground,
which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms?

Currently, Satan and his band of fallen angels are still allowed to attend divine counsels with God and his faithful angels, as described by the Old Testament prophet Job (Job 1:5—6; 2:1). For the most part, he attends in order to make accusations against the saints (Revelation 12:10).

Job 1:5—6
(bold emphasis added)

And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and
Satan came also among them.

Revelation 12:10
(bold emphasis added)

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for
the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Concerning Satan’s access to glorified realms in the second heaven, this too was (or is still in the process of being) eventually terminated. In Ezekiel 28:1516, “stones of fire” most likely refers to solar systems (suns) in the heavens.

Ezekiel 28:15-16
(bold emphasis added)

Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and
thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

Satan’s restriction from the “stones of fire” did not occur, however, before he spread his rebellious campaign across the universe (glorified realms in the second heaven). Scripture states that Satan deceived one-third of the inhabitants of the host of heaven: In Revelation 12:4, “the third part of the stars of heaven” that Satan deceived, refers to angels, which live among the stars.

Revelation 12:4
(bold emphasis added)

And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven,
and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

Currently Satan still has access to the glorified realm of the first heaven of the Earth (mentioned earlier when discussing the first heaven), and most likely every cursed world throughout the universe he managed to deceive during his rebellion, just as he had obtained dominion over Earth by deceiving Adam and Eve. His access will eventually be restricted to only Earth (Revelation 12:9; 12-13), at which time he will have his greatest level of authority over Earth he will ever achieve, through the person of the Antichrist. Fortunately this will only be a short period (about seven years) (Daniel 9:26-27).

Revelation 12:9-12

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to those who inhabit the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he hath but a short time.

Daniel 9:26—27
* (bracketed comments added)

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week [seven years]: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

*Each day of Daniel’s seventieth week represents one year.

Aside from fallen angels, scripture may provide insight into other beings lower than the angels (the humans of Earth) obtaining access to glorified realms as well. The culmination of events that led to the destruction of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) may be a documentary of humanity’s earliest experiments with interplanetary/interdimensional travel. In my book
Aliens in the Bible,
I speculated that humanity might have developed a means of reaching into the heavens through a technique called astral projection. Astral projection is the act of separating one’s spirit from one’s physical body without dying.
²⁶
If humans (cursed beings in this example) did actually obtain access to glorified realms (the heavens) as scripture indicates in Genesis 11 (with a literal interpretation), it clearly explains why God destroyed the knowledge of this ancient civilization. Any cursed being obtaining access to glorified realms can only invite corruption to said realms.

Genesis 11:4

And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

A tall building is no big deal in my opinion—why would God care about a tall building? The buildings of today by far exceed the estimated three-hundred-foot- tall Tower of Babel.
²⁷
I think something else was at the root of God’s actions in this passage of scripture. The Tower of Babel was a Ziggurat (terraced pyramid temple), and the means by which it reached into the heavens was through a spiritual gateway.

Anthropologist Carlos Castaneda speaks of performing astral projection, under the apprenticeship of Iroquois sorcerer don Juan Matus. Astral projection is taught in numerous cults, and sometimes induced by the use of specific drugs, such as peyote or mescaline. Shamanism is one of the oldest religions in the world, dating back to the most ancient of civilizations, even to that of ancient Babylon,
²⁸
which happens to be the same location as the Tower of Babel.
²⁹
For this reason, I hypothesize that the means by which people reached into the heavens in Genesis 11 was not through the height of the Tower of Babel, but rather through the attainment and practice of spiritual knowledge that these people were not supposed to have.

In reference to the Tower of Babel, and Nimrod specifically (the king of that region), many Christian archeologists have concluded that they believe Nimrod (whose name wasn’t translated as a proper name, but rather a reference to his character, because it means “rebel” in Hebrew), was actually the same hero mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh. In an article found on Christiananswers.net, Bible archeologist Dr. David P. Livingston explains a great deal about the Epic of Gilgamesh, which is an ancient, twisted version of the Biblical account of Creation, the flood of Noah, and some of the events that transpired shortly thereafter.

While the Epic of Gilgamesh supports polytheism and the acceptance of sexual immorality as a norm, among other things, it may provide a historical glimpse into the activities occurring around the Tower of Babel, which stirred God to complete indignation. To begin with, Gilgamesh (Nimrod) may have been a Nephilim (part human, part fallen angel, as the Bible mentions in Genesis 6). Following is an excerpt from Dr. Livingston’s article on Christiananswers.net:

The Epic of Gilgamesh has some very indecent sections. Alexander Heidel, the first translator of the epic, had the decency to translate the vilest parts into Latin. Spieser, however, gave it to us straight.
³¹
With this kind of literature in the palace, who needs pornography? Gilgamesh was a vile, filthy, man. Yet the myth says of him that he was two-thirds god and one-third man.
³²

With this in mind, it should be clear to understand God’s anger against the inhabitants surrounding the Tower of Babel. Putting these pieces of information together, one could postulate that they were astral projecting from the Tower of Babel and reaching into the heavens (or at least into the first heaven). Once there, they made contact with beings there, and reinitiated the events that led to the Nephilim in Genesis 6. God’s statements in Genesis 11:6 concerning the inhabitants of the Tower of Babel appear to indicate that these people were the instigators in their own corruption, rather than fallen angels being the instigators. One fact is certain in any case; the events of Genesis 6 leading up to the Nephilim continued even after the flood of Noah (Genesis 6:4), and the Tower of Babel was most likely one of the earliest epicenters of this activity. One way or another, established boundaries were being crossed which violated a heavenly ordinance.

Genesis 11:6
(bold emphasis added)

And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and
now nothing will be restrained from them,
which they have imagined to do.
