<p>If you think it is an unbelievable theory to think that <a title="Aircraft" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft">aircraft</a>, or flying machines are being described in the <a title="Book of Ezekiel" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Ezekiel">book of Ezekiel</a>, and would like to believe, or mock the idea, I wonder what you think happened in this next theory of mine, that no one else has thought of as far as I know.</p>
<p>The story should be familiar to most of us, but we have never questioned the cause or the outcome.</p>
<p>We have the case of <a title="Sodom and Gomorrah" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodom_and_Gomorrah">Sodom and Gomorrah</a> where in Genesis we have the event of the cities being destroyed because of all the sinful things taking place, which made god angry enough to carry out the deed, but what we have to ask is, how was this deed carried out so completely with the armament that was around in these times?</p>
<p><a title="Bow (weapon)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_%28weapon%29">Bows and arrows</a>, which was the main weapon in these times, cannot destroy a building never mind a city, and we have to remember it was two &#8220;Cities&#8221; we are talking about not two small towns or villages, so where was the power to carry out the deed when nothing explosive was invented then?<br />
Natural volcanoes yes, but the description of the devastation left is nothing like the damage a volcano makes, bad though it may be.</p>
<p>If you read Genesis, chapter nineteen verse one, it reads, &#8220;And there came two angels to Sodam at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodam; and he bowed himself with his face towards the ground;&#8221; No mention of feathers when angels appear, but why should there be when they have none.</p>
<p>Lot was told by the angels to flee the city because it was about to be destroyed, and to take some of his family with him.<br />
He did as he was told, so he must have known the task was possible by these people called angels.</p>
<p>In Genesis chapter 19, verse 17 It reads &#8220;And it came to pass when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said. Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain lest thou be consumed.&#8221;</p>
<p>They had to be miles away from the city to make sure they were out of reach of the blast, but what weapons in these times could cause so much devastation?<br />
Verse 24 of the same chapter reads &#8220;Then the lord rained upon Sodam and upon Gomorrah <a title="Fire and brimstone" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_and_brimstone">fire and brimstone</a> and fire from the lord out of heaven.</p>
<p>OUT OF HEAVEN&#8230;&#8230;not from the earth, but the crafts in the skies, that brought this advanced race of people here.</p>
<p>Now reading that story one hundred years ago even, you might not understand what was happening, but it should be clear enough now.</p>
<p>The next few verses makes it a bit clearer, 25, reads &#8220;And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.&#8221;<br />
Verse 26, refers to the line in verse 17 &#8220;Look not behind thee&#8221; and quotes<br />
&#8220;But his wife looked back and became a pillar of salt.<br />
Verse 28, And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain; and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.&#8221;</p>
<p>When you think of the devastation left behind, people from this day and age should only have one clear thought in their heads, HIROSHIMA and NAGASAKI, the two cities destroyed by nuclear bombs to end the second world war.</p>
<p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GqOSFt4HRoo/Suoln9CE-EI/AAAAAAAAAXs/MHYh0fVGe8I/s1600-h/Hiroshima_Nagasaki_in_1945_1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;text-align: center;cursor: pointer;width: 294px;height: 400px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GqOSFt4HRoo/Suoln9CE-EI/AAAAAAAAAXs/MHYh0fVGe8I/s400/Hiroshima_Nagasaki_in_1945_1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Only a power such as that could come anywhere near to causing all that destruction, and the blast cause Lots wife to be turned into a pillar of salt.</p>
<p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GqOSFt4HRoo/SuomR-zR77I/AAAAAAAAAX0/qQ4D9wetfLE/s1600-h/Hiroshima_Nagasaki_in_1945_3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;float: left;cursor: pointer;width: 300px;height: 300px" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GqOSFt4HRoo/SuomR-zR77I/AAAAAAAAAX0/qQ4D9wetfLE/s400/Hiroshima_Nagasaki_in_1945_3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>All we have to do in this day and age is to look up the Internet and compare the destruction of the Sodom and Gomorrah and the scene described by Lot in the bible, to the scenes described by the pilots who overflew the Japanese cities, and look at the pictures taken of the aftermath, and the devastation caused by the nuclear bombs.<br />
They are almost identical, and the reason for that is, it was the same method used in both instances.</p>
<p>So you might say, there were no nuclear bombs in biblical times, but you also thought there were no aircraft flying around the skies, so what is your conclusion now you know such a bomb exists.</p>
<p>Lot, and the people of his time have an excuse to wonder at the destruction, but WE should know the cause, and now realize there are people around the skies who are way ahead of us in developments, who used <a title="Nuclear weapon" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon">nuclear weapons</a> years before we invented them, and have reached us from their planet in crafts we are still trying to come to terms with.</p>
<p>What other answer could there be?</p></div>

<p>If we are going to believe some elements of the bible, then we should really believe all aspects of it, as it is the same person that is responsible for the final draft of it, and I do not mean the heads of the christian churches who only put into print the gospels they wanted us to read while omitting more enlightening ones, that put a different slant on the actual facts God wanted use to read.</p>
<p>God had the final say on what was written about the time he was here, helping to create the earth and the people to populate it, and it was only when his presence here started to fade in the memories of the people that the records were altered by church elders, trying to manipulate the people, plus the fact that it was translated into so many languages that other important features in it got distorted,which all led up to the confusing mess the religions are in now.</p>
<p>All in all there is still the basics there to work on, and with various versions of the same stories being the same, fundamentally, there must be truth in them, as the people of that era had no other reason to write such things other than to record for future generation the strange  events that took place in their time.</p>
<p>With the knowledge of space travel we have now, we would still feel the need to record any events of  life from an other planet landing on earth, as indeed we do, but have still to come up with definite proof to convince the majority of the population on earth.</p>
<p>The fact is, until space ships arrive in the skies above us, where they can be viewed by everyone, that is the only way to convince us that life from beyond the stars really exits.</p>
<p>Try as we might, we will not be the ones to go out there to find them, it is they that will return here to prove once and for all that life exsited out there long before it appeared on earth.</p>
<p>It is written in Genesis, that God created Adam, but before Adam was created there was the people who came with God from his planet, making them possibilities of fathering children on earth because it also states in genesis chapter six verse four,  that &#8220;there were giants on the earth in those days and the sons of God came unto the daughters of men, and they bare children.&#8221;</p>
<p>As God only made us in his image it does not mean he made us in the same stature as him, and the people he brought with him, which could mean that the giants were from heaven, Gods planet.</p>
<p>The wickedness that brought about the building of the Ark was the interbreeding of people from Gods planet with the people who originated on earth. Now if all of these wicked people were drowned once the great flood came, except Noah and his family, are we ancestors of Adam, through to Noah by way of the interbreeding, or was all the offspring killed in the flood, and we are all desendants of Noah, who&#8217;s children might not have been bred from the mixing of genes from an other planet, and were pure earth people.</p>
<p>There is no clear explanation of who or where the giants came from, but where else could they have come from but another planet, brought here in Gods ships?</p>
<p>There are bound to be an abundance of inhabited planets out in the vastness of space, and at least one has progressed enough in technology to allow them intergalactic travel, otherwise where did God and the machines Ezekiel tells about come from? (I will discuss Ezekiel and the machines in a later post)  God, if you believe in him at all, did not appear out of thin air, and just because you think he is sacred, does not mean that he did not evolve out of the same elements as we did, albeit somewhere far away and many many billions of years before we did.</p>
<p>If it is possible for God and the people from his planet to reach earth and be involved in the forming of it, then it is just as likely that he assisted other planets along the same lines as earth.</p>
<p>One of the mysteries of our planet, that we are striving to uncover, is where the human race actually originated, and the nearest we have come is to surmise that we all originated from one source in Africa, and spread rapidly around the planet even though it was mostly covered in ice at the time of this big migration, and the speed it was done in was, if not impossible, as near to  impossible as you will get.</p>
<p>First they had the distance to cover on foot, surviving the harshest of conditions, without the medical care and knowledge we have now, with fatalities occurring almost as fast as births and people dieing younger. So how could they populate the whole of the earth so quickly, including the most isolated locations, that feature unreachable islands and other places on the mainland that could not be reached or even survived on at the time.</p>
<p>Scientist think  that through DNA samples they can now prove we were all originated from the bones found in Africa of the first known humans, but where did their DNA come from?</p>
<p>If we are to believe what Moses wrote in Genesis, then the DNA found on earth can either be from Noah&#8217;s family. who might be pure earth people, or from Adam, who&#8217;s offspring interbred with giants, from who knows where.</p>
<p>The giants could have come from anywhere, if God had visited other planets, then he could have brought people here from various other sources in the universe, hence the difference in our appearance, cultures and languages and the reason our DNA has similarities is that it goes further back than the bones found in Africa, but we have not yet sourced the evidence yet.</p>
<p>As I said before, we convince ourselves that we have found the answer to something that has puzzled us, until new evidence comes along and we have to reconsider our theories.</p>
<p>Races have appeared on earth from nowhere, with a knowledge far superior to the races that was spread over most of the land, and disappeared, just as quick as they appeared.</p>
<p>The Egyptians at the time of the Pharaohs, had such an exceptional knowledge of the stars, that, if it had endured, would have extended and expanded through to our time, and would have avoided the need for us to discover the  mysteries of  the stars we still strive to find.</p>
<p>Other races in South America had the same knowledge of the skies as the Egyptians, and had  buildings similar to the pyramids although no connection can be found between them.</p>
<p>They disappeared as did their knowledge of the stars, leaving us to start from the beginning again.</p>
<p>Where did they go? Why did the knowledge they had of the stars disappear with them, and where did they get the knowledge from in the first place? Were they brought here from other parts of the universe by God and learned their knowledge from him on their way to earth?</p>
<p>As said before in this blog, we could be an experiment by God, to see how we fair, when mixed with other races, as a test for our entry into heaven. Up till now we have failed, because as you have all experienced, we cannot live in harmony with anyone on this earth. We row with neighbours, fight with other races and religions, so how do we expect the race that nurtured us to come back under these circumstances?</p>
<p>Some of the advanced races in South America I spoke about were wiped out by the Spanish, through greed for gold and land, and even though that was hundreds of years ago, things have not changed, with wars raging all over the world, mostly through religion, the one thing that teaches peace and harmony.</p>
<p>Once we decode the holy books properly, and start living the way we are meant to, then and only then, will we be allowed to uncover the real mysteries of space, and find our true origins, be it on earth or some other planet.</p>
<p>The time will come when we will need God and his people to come back here when earth&#8217;s life is at an end, because he has the means to rescue us and the place to take us to, but as is stated in the bible, if we don&#8217;t meet the standard expected of us, to blend in on heaven then we will not be rescued, and the &#8220;Hell&#8221; we might burn in could be earth itself as it is consumed by our sun.</p>
<p>If you read the holy books, and look at them from a twenty first century point of view, then you might see the real possibilities of my theories, but if you are blinded by the beliefs of the churches from the dark ages then you will only ridicule them and never be able to decode the bible, where the answers to all our questions lie.</p>
<p>God must have evolved somewhere, and on doing so we must have evolved from the same substances as him, so once we get his DNA, then we will be able to trace our roots, and not go by the oldest DNA found on earth.</p>
<p>We are so sure that all the answers are to be found on earth, but if people from other planets have been here, then some of the answers WILL be found out in space, where we still strive  to go, which might be made easier if we belived, and understood what the holy books are telling us.</p>
