Serpent Gods

      What is the nature of the space aliens?  To what life form on earth might we compare them?  Researcher Icke points to numerous Chinese, Mayan, Irish, and Hopi Indian legends that indicate they are serpent-like or dragon-like entities, and that we are descended from them.[1]  Among the oldest civilizations, Egypt worshipped snakes, and China paid homage to dragons.  The ancient near eastern civilizations of Babylon, Canaan, and Israel all spoke of a primordial serpent-like monster of the ocean, which was called Tiamat in Babylon, Yamm in Canaan, and Leviathan in Israel.  Likewise, the most ancient scriptures of India assert that the chief god Indra is associated with serpentine shape shifters, and the second most important god, Agni, is called a "raging serpent."[2]  The god of India to whom most devotion is paid, namely Krishna, had this to say about himself:

 

Among serpents, I am the serpent that lasts forever.[3]

 

The more knowledgeable and occult minds among the ancient Greeks also paid homage to serpent-gods, such as Asclepius.  The Peratic Gnostics believed that Jesus Christ was a serpent-god,[4] and the Naas, another Gnostic group, believed an omniscient serpent watches over us from above.  Specifically, Hippolytus had this to say about their beliefs:

 

They think that the serpent dragon is situated at the North Pole looking down on everything.[5]

 

Something Wicked from the North

      This idea that something wicked is hovering around the North Pole echoes through the ages down to the present.  Meyer points out that the official flag of the United Nations is a view of the globe from a region of space above the North Pole looking down, and relates it to the Biblical Prophet Isaiah, who said that Lucifer also exalts himself to lofty positions in the north.[6] [7] 

      The 1^st century Christian leader Elchasai believed that war rages among the evil angels of the northern stars, and therefore immoral nations are in a state of confusion.[8]  This is echoed in 2^nd Enoch, from about the same time, which states that there is a hell of black fire in the heavens of the north, and a bunch of witches, vampires, and pedophiles dwell there in torment.[9]

      The Prophet Zarathustra was also informed of an evil entity that comes from northern climes, as the holy texts of the Zoroastrians record:

 

The Lord of Wisdom said, "Listen Spitama Zarathustra; the liar Nasu attacks dead bodies as soon as the soul leaves after death.  Nasu comes from the north, in the image of a filthy fly…"[10]  Die you liar!  Go back to the north and die!  And don't come back!  You bring death to the living realm of the Holy Spirit![11]

 

This quote is actually part of an exorcism ritual for expelling this demonic northern entity.[12]

 

Serpent Messiah

      Snakes in the Bible are both evil and good.  Pharaoh had evil snakes, but Moses had a good snake.[13]  Poisonous snakes killed the Israelites in the desert, but a bronze snake named Nehushtan saved them.[14]  Jesus claimed to be that bronze snake.[15]  Interestingly, that same bronze snake was destroyed by King Hezekiah,[16] who had also allowed the Jerusalem temple priests to take over the nation.[17]  Hezekiah also tore down the altars of Yahweh and made an unholy alliance with Babylon, upon which the Prophet Isaiah placed a prophetic curse.[18]  Hence Hezekiah was a type of antichrist who brought the wrath of God upon the Israelite nation.  Such was his penalty for destroying the snake-god Nehushtan, for Nehushtan was a prototype of Christ.

 

Jesus, Lucifer, and the 888 Prophecy

      Jesus and Lucifer are actually both snakes.  According to the Hebrew numerological system, the word mashiach, which means "Messiah," calculates to 358, as does also the Hebrew word nachash which means "snake" or "serpent."  Nachash is used in Genesis for the snake in the Garden of Eden, and nachash is also used for the snake in the wilderness that represented Jesus.  The same was called Nehushtan, which is akin to the Hebrew words nechash and nechosheth meaning "bronze" or "shiny."  Heiser takes this to mean that the entity which deceived Adam and Eve was not really a serpent, but a luminous shining being.[19]  If this view is accepted, then it provides the basis for calling Satan the Devil by the name of Lucifer, for the name Lucifer is derived from two Latin words – luci is the possessive of lux, meaning "light," and fer is the root of the verb ferere, meaning "to carry;" hence, Lucifer is a shining one, a nechash, because he is the "Carrier of Light."  Serpents are symbols of knowledge because they bring light – they illuminate.

      According to the English numerological system by increments of 6, whereby A= 6, B=12, C=18, etc, the number of the name of Jesus is 444, and the number of the name of Lucifer is also 444.  Hence, Jesus = Lucifer.  Both are shining serpentine beings, and both have at one time or another been bringers of light.  Not that they are the same entity, but rather they are the same or similar species.

      In Jesus' last words of the New Testament, he said, "I am that bright morning star,"[20] which hearkens back to Isaiah, where it is written, "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!"[21]  The Hebrew here for "Lucifer" is hilel ben shaker, which refers to the bright morning star, Venus.  Hence, Jesus is that bright morning star, the son of the morning, symbolically Venus, and he is called by this name because he is the carrier of light.  Jesus replaces the first carrier of light who fell from grace, and thus Jesus is the new Lucifer.

      This is further borne out by the fact that when 444 and 444 are added together, that is Jesus and Lucifer being added together, the sum is 888.  888 is the number of the name of Jesus according to the Greek system of numerology.  Hence, Jesus + Lucifer = Jesus, 444 + 444 = 888; which ironically also means that Lucifer mathematically is a zero, a looser, if the equation is changed to Jesus + looser = Jesus, that is 888 + 0 = 888.  This makes sense because Lucifer fell from grace, and so he is counted as a zero, a looser. 

      The forces that make crop circles have signaled that 888 is a holy number.  A crop circle in the shape of an "8" appeared on August 8, 2008, that is 08/08/08, over Wiltshire England.[22]  From the pictures, you can tell it was not made by plank and string; rather, the vegetation was whirled and twisted together, and laid down flat without breaking the stock.  This is the sign of a true crop circle, because it is impossible for hoaxers to duplicate.  On the same day, 08/08/08, a beneficial event happened to me that enabled me to establish the continuous promotion of the ideas written in this book, as well as other good things.  This was not by my own design, but the particular day was chosen by a power other than myself.

      It is well documented that 888 has always been the number of the name of Jesus.  For example, Hippolytus stated "888 is the number of Jesus,"[23] and Irenaeus likewise "This is the name of Jesus:  If you count up the numerical value of the letters you get 888."[24]  If seeking Biblical confirmation, one may look to the book of Revelation, since it also implies that Jesus is 888.  The chronology of Revelation is as follows:  The beast, 666, is followed by the wrath of the apocalypse, which in Revelation is 7 trumpets, 7 plagues, and 7 bowls of wrath, 777, and this is followed by the triumphant second coming of Jesus, 888, who then says "I am the bright morning star," which is Lucifer, 444, and when added to himself, who is also 444, the sum is 888.  And so there is a numerological pattern to Revelation.   

      The actual calculation of the number of the name of Jesus is as follows:  The Greek letters of his name, IESOUS, carry the values 10 for Iota, 8 for Eta, 200 for Sigma, 70 for Omikron, 400 for Upsilon, and 200 for Sigma, which when added together total 888. 

      Numerology is by no means arbitrary, for the values of the letters do not change from word to word, but stay constant; thus, there are most certainly a very limited number of interpretations for any given word.

      Moreover, the number 888 is borne out by an Old Testament prophecy that foreshadowed Jesus long before his coming.  The famous prophecy that Judah would continue its government until Shiloh came, that is, until the kingdom of Judah came to whom it belonged,[25] has traditionally been interpreted to be a prophecy that when Jesus came, the nation of Judah would cease to exist – a fact which actually happened in history, because shortly after Jesus came, the Jewish nation was abolished by the Roman Empire.  The Hebrew word Shiloh calculates to 345.  When combined with the Holy Name of God which was spoken through the burning bush to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM,"[26] which calculates to 543, these two added together are 888.  Jesus claimed to be the I AM of that statement,[27] and so it too is traditionally interpreted to be a foreshadowing of him.  The calculations are as follows:  Shiloh in Hebrew letters is SYLH, which carry the numbers 300 for Shin, 10 for Yod, 30 for Lamed, and 5 for Heh – these added together are 345.  I AM WHO I AM in Hebrew is AHYH ASR AHYH.  Aleph is 1 and Reish is 200.  Hence, we have AHYH 1+5+10+5 and ASR 1+300+200 and AHYH 1+5+10+5, which is 21+501+21 = 543.  Thus, when I AM WHO I AM is added to Shiloh, which symbolically means that when the Unfathomable God becomes king of the Jewish nation in the form of the Messiah, then his numerological equation will be 543+345 = 888, that is, I AM WHO I AM + Shiloh = Jesus.  Hence, this numerological prophecy of the Old Testament confirms that Jesus is the Messiah.

 

The Trinity and the Goddess of Christianity

      888, when turned on its side, is three infinity symbols, which symbolizes the infinity of the Holy Trinity. 

      The Trinity is by no means particular to traditional orthodoxy.  To be sure, a lot of ancient so-called "heretics" believed in the Trinity too, along with the ancient Orthodox-Catholics who also believed in it.  Some Gnostics called the Trinity the "Triple Power," the "Triple Powered Aeon," the "Triple Male," or the "Triple of Both Genders."[28]  Others "expressly declared that there are three Gods, three Logoses, three Minds, and three Men."[29]  Still others, like Simon Magus, understood the Triune God to manifest as the Son to the Jews, the Father to the Samaritans, and the Holy Spirit to the gentiles.[30]  Some of the Gnostics even used the traditional Trinitarian formula, "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."[31]

      Among the most ancient Christians it was understood that the Holy Spirit is female.  The earliest gospel, Mark, states that the Holy Spirit descended like a dove.  The word for "dove" in Greek is peristera, and it carries the feminine gender.  The Hebrew word ruach meaning "Spirit" is also feminine.  Here are some quotes from early Christians:

 

The primordial consciousness permanently exists as three: Father, Mother, and Son.[32] 

 

The Holy Spirit is the mother of all living.[33]

 

Elchasai asserts that the male is the Son of God, and that the female is the Holy Spirit.[34]

 

Christ sits on a throne at the right hand of God, and "On God's left sits a Virgin on a throne, the Holy Spirit, and she praises him.  Seven virgins are at her command."[35] 

 

The seven virgins are apparently a reference to the seven spirits of the Holy Spirit mentioned by the Prophets.[36]  The Gnostics called the primordial Goddess "Mother," "Virgin," "Womb," and "Voice."[37]  Indeed, there are so many Gnostic sources that clearly assert that the Holy Spirit is female that space does not permit me to quote them all, but I have listed the remainder in this footnote.[38] 

      Early Catholic circles were no exception.  They also declared the femininity of the Holy Spirit, calling her "Sophia," which is the Greek name for Divine Wisdom personified as a woman. 

 

The Logos, who is the Son, was always with the Father.  Sophia also, who is the Spirit, was in God's presence before anything was created.[39]

 

The Trinity is God, his Logos, and his Sophia.[40]

 

This was before the Virgin Mary replaced the Holy Spirit as the primary symbol of female divinity in the Orthodox and Catholic Churches – something that did not happen until several hundred years after Jesus walked the earth. 

      As for the Virgin Mary, she was not the real biological mother of Jesus.  Mary was only a womb into which he was placed after he was conceived.  The real mother of Jesus is the Holy Spirit.  Jesus himself testifies to this effect, as did his early followers:

 

My Mother, the Holy Spirit, took me by one of my hairs and carried me to Mount Tabor…[41]  My mother, my true mother, gave me life…[42]

 

People say Mary got pregnant by the Holy Spirit, but they are wrong.  Since when has a woman procreated with another woman?  Mary is a virgin.  Nothing had sex with her.[43] 

 

This idea is corroborated by Luke, where the angel says to Mary,

 

The Holy Spirit will come to you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.  Therefore, that holy one to whom you shall give birth will be called the Son of God.[44] 

 

We have all heard that the Holy Spirit came to Mary, but who is this other character named the "Most High?"  Translated into Hebrew, the "Most High" is Elyon, who is mentioned many times in the Old Testament, and in the English Bibles is translated consistently as the "Most High."  Elyon is a derivative of El, the Father-God of the ancient Hebrews and of their Western Semitic kinfolk. 

      In other words, it was God the Father and the Holy Spirit who conceived Jesus Christ.  The "biological" parents of Jesus are the other two members of the Trinity.  Mary had nothing to do with it.  Rather, her womb was merely used to incubate Jesus after conception.  God did this in order to deceive the hound of hell, the princes of the pit, and the archons of Abaddon into believing Jesus was more human than he really was, so that when he descended into the underworld to preach the gospel to the dead, Abaddon would believe he was only a dead man, and fail to recognize him as a living God.  Thus Jesus was a Trojan horse in hell who "led captives out of hell and gave gifts to human kind – for what does it mean that he ascended but that he first descended?"  As the Apostle wrote, "The gospel was preached to the dead."[45]

 

UFO's and the Meaning of Christmas

      The Annunciation with Saint Emidius is a painting from 1486 AD.  It commemorates the Virgin Mary's pregnancy with Jesus.  Oddly, there is a very conspicuous and unmistakably disk-shaped UFO in it.  The UFO is beaming down a thin yellow ray of light onto Mary's head as she is praying.  Even more bizarre, Mary is indoors, where an object in the sky would normally not shine its light.[46]  This is consistent with reports of alien abduction, which often tell of people being safely indoors when strange lights appear and the abduction begins.  Is it possible that the Virgin Mary was abducted by space aliens, and that Jesus was incubated during the abduction?

      In the Basilica at Notre-Dame, there resides another painting, this one called The Magnificat.  The word Magnificat is another name for the Song of Mary recorded in the gospel, which Mary sang in response to the angel who told her that she would become pregnant with the Christ.[47]  In the painting, a hat-shaped UFO can be clearly seen in the sky.[48] 

      In still a third painting, this one depicting Mary with the baby Jesus, a disk-shaped UFO can be seen in the sky above Mary's head.  A man and a dog can also be seen in the background, looking up in the sky at the UFO.[49]

      All three of these paintings are from in the 15^th century.  Leonardo Da Vinci was painting fabulous war machines around that time, some of which looked much like UFO's.  Therefore, one might argue, these are simply extensions of Da Vinci's influence, and not necessarily indicative of UFO's being present at the conception of Jesus. 

      However, this explanation fails to account for yet a fourth painting – this one from a much later time and significantly different in style.  The Battesimo de Cristo, painted in 1710, depicts a yellow distinctly disk-shaped light shining through the clouds, and beaming four yellow rays on Jesus as he is baptized.[50]  Unlike the UFO's in the other paintings, this UFO is not clearly seen.  Only a yellow disk of light beyond the clouds is visible.  Hence, the painting is clearly not intending to depict a Da Vinci flying war machine, yet it still very much resembles a UFO. 

 

Christology Meets UFOology

      Who, or what, was Jesus Christ?  Within just a few short decades after he walked the earth, a vast array of completely different theories had emerged to answer this question.   These theories often had little in common with each other.  Many of them were entirely heretical, even downright blasphemous, by traditional Christian standards.  Christian historians recorded the beliefs and origins of these theories in great detail.  By the early date of 110 AD, a large mosaic of differing opinion was already established.   The theological differences between competing groups of early Christians were so great that they make modern day differences between Catholics and Protestants look rather insignificant.  The early Christians were very deeply divided over who Jesus Christ was.

      Yet they all had one thing in common.  They all acknowledged that Jesus Christ was not entirely human.  He was more than just a man.  He was more than just another Prophet.  There was something definitely unearthly about him. 

      Besides this agreement, the early Christians reached no consensus of opinion.  There was no consensus that he was the Creator.  There was no consensus that he was born of a virgin.  There was no consensus that he was God in the flesh.  There was no consensus that he was even flesh at all! 

      This is interesting because it fits well with Jesus Christ being a space alien.  If he were the Almighty Creator God in the flesh, there would have been more of a consensus to that effect.  If he were merely a mortal man around whom a legend of divinity evolved, there would have been at least one so-called "heretic" on record who taught that.  As it is, the earliest histories indicate that every early group agreed that there was a component of his nature which was not of this world.  This situation seems natural if Jesus Christ was a space alien, for a space alien would appear to be in some way divine to ancient eyes, yet not entirely congruent with a monotheistic concept of God.

      Below are some quick summaries of the theories that attempted to explain who Jesus Christ really was.  All of these emerged within living memory of the first generation after Jesus Christ’s time on earth.  These are the very earliest interpretations:

      The Simonians believed that God got reincarnated from body to body.  Jesus Christ was one incarnation.  Simon Magus was another.  Simon’s disciple Menander was a third.  This theory had its origin with Simon Magus, whom Saint Peter is said to have rebuked.[51]

      Cerinthus and Theodotus believed that Christ and Jesus were actually two different people.  Jesus was human in every normal biological sense, but Christ was divine.  Christ entered into Jesus, such that they shared the same body, while remaining two different people.[52]  The Ebionites agreed with Cerinthus on these points, and they were mentioned at a very early date by Ignatius of Antioch about 100-110 AD.[53]  Cerinthus was very early, for it is recorded that he was a hostile acquaintance of Saint John the Apostle.[54] 

      Apelles agreed with Cerinthus, except that he believed Jesus Christ's body was not entirely human, but rather was composed of various states of matter that exist throughout the cosmos.[55]

      Carpocrates believed Jesus was a human conceived in the normal way, but that he was different because he was pure, and because he had a perfect memory, and because he had a special ability to escape from the evil angels who created the cosmos.[56]

      Other Gnostics asserted that Jesus Christ was "born as God,"[57] and they affirmed that he was born of a virgin.[58] 

      Marcion taught that Jesus was eternally unbegotten and that he descended from heaven.  Moreover, Jesus only appeared to be flesh, but was really a phantasm.  Jesus' Father was not the God of the Old Testament, but was rather a different God above him.[59]

      Likewise, the Docetae believed that Jesus Christ was entirely divine and heavenly.  As such, he was not human at all.  He only looked like he was human.  The earliest evidence for the existence of this theory occurs in the New Testament,[60] and also in the writings of Ignatius of Antioch.  These date from 80-110 AD.[61]

      The Peratae saw Jesus as a three-fold power who descended from heaven without ever being born, and contained within himself the fullness of all the potentialities of the cosmos.[62]

      The most popular branch of Gnosticism asserted that in the beginning, there were a certain number of primordial elements from which everything has its essence.  They believed Jesus Christ was the "fullness" of these "elements" – in Greek, the pleroma of the aeons.[63]  Different Gnostic groups argued extensively over precisely what this meant.  The earliest mention of this type of theory occurs in the New Testament book of Colossians, "the elements of the world… all the fullness of the Godhead…"[64]  Colossians is dated from 50-68 AD by Bible believing Christians and 60-90 AD by more secular critical scholars.  This view reached the height of its popularity with Valentinus, who went further by separating Jesus from Christ, alleging Jesus was of the animal nature and Christ of the spiritual.[65]

      Basilides saw Jesus as the manifestation of a heavenly conglomerate of seeds, who sits at the right hand of the demiurge in the heights of the firmament and advises him, and that the reason for his passion was to accomplish the ordering of the seeds – that is, to distinguish things and to put all things in the cosmos in their proper order.[66] 

      Saturninus believed Jesus only appeared to be human, but was really unbegotten and incorporeal, and that the Father who is above all sent him to overthrow the god of the Jews, and to bring salvation to those who believe in him.[67]

      The Catholics were first mentioned by Ignatius of Antioch about 100-110 AD.[68]  They believed that Jesus Christ was both fully God and fully human united in a single person.  The earliest definite and explicit mention of this belief occurs in the New Testament book of John, "in the beginning was the Word… The Word was God… and the Word became flesh."[69]  John wrote the rough draft himself, and asked his associates to edit it for him.[70]  John is dated from 80-110 AD.  Ignatius of Antioch concurred that Jesus was "God existing as flesh."[71]  By the late 2^nd century, Catholic theology had become dominant.  Today, nearly all Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, accept this opinion.

      Then there are other interpretations that cannot certainly be dated until after apostolic times, yet are still ancient: 

      The Sethians believed that the Father produced the Son from some kind of cosmic heated turbulence, and that the Son "was transformed into the shape of a serpent and entered a womb."  To justify their concept of Christ's divine nature, the Sethians quoted Paul, "Who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God."[72]

      Another group of Sethians or Ophites believed that the heavenly Christ joined with Sophia and descended into the man Jesus Christ, and that this is why he was able to perform miracles.  These miracles enraged other powers, and so they killed him.  Christ and Sophia departed from Jesus before he died on the cross, yet Christ was nice enough to resurrect Jesus afterwards.[73]

      The Noetians believed that Jesus Christ was divine, but not as the Trinity says, for they asserted that the Father and the Son are really the same person, not distinct.[74]  Their opinion was originally conceived toward the end of the 2^nd century, and still survives today among those who style themselves "Apostolic Pentecostals."

      The Arians believed that Jesus Christ was a God separate and distinct from the Father-God, who was neither joined to him in a Trinity nor equal with him.  They emerged in the early 4^th century.  Their opinion survives today among the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses.

      The Muslims believe Jesus was only a man, and in no way divine at all.  Yet they believe that he was a great Prophet, that he was born of the Virgin Mary, and that he was the Messiah.  Like the Docetae, most Muslims think that he was whisked away while on the cross, only appearing to die when in reality he did not.  Many believe he will come again at the time of the apocalypse.  The Muslims first emerged in the 620's AD.  Thus, it took six centuries for legend to devolve Christ from God to mortal.   

 

Jesus Is a Space Alien God

      From this, it is clear that several deeply differing Christologies sprang up within living memory of Jesus Christ, and a few more in the ancient centuries afterward.  Despite their differences, these Christologies, with the exception of Islam, all acknowledged in one way or another that at least some component of Jesus Christ’s nature was definitely not of this world.  Noticeably absent from this assemblage is the belief that he was a mere human with no supernatural presence within him.  Even at Nicea, the issue was not if Jesus Christ was divine, but rather how he was divine.  Nobody at Nicea believed he was merely human.

      Christian history written before Nicea fills up ten volumes of encyclopedic books called the "Ante-Nicene Fathers."  Additionally, the Gnostic gospels and various apocryphal works of antiquity make our knowledge of the earliest Christians essentially complete.  From this material, it is apparent that Jesus Christ was not a mere man who gradually evolved from legend into God.  Instead, both proto-Catholic and so-called "heretical" sources from antiquity agree that there was some kind of divine component to Jesus Christ, and that belief in his divinity was widespread from the very earliest days of the faith.  However, the precise nature of this divine component was a matter of hot debate among them.

      Jesus Christ being a space alien god fits this pattern.  If he were the Almighty Creator God, he would have told people that, and everybody would have known what it meant.  If he had done so, there would be no reason for the vast divergence of Christologies that are known to have existed within living memory of him.  But instead of confessing that he was Almighty God in the flesh, he used vague terms to describe himself – "Son of Man," "Son of God," "Messiah," – all of which hint at something heavenly or quasi-divine, yet subtly ambiguous enough to make us wonder.  It’s as if everybody knew there was something supernatural about him, but nobody knew what it was for sure, and Jesus himself didn’t care to explain it.  Perhaps this is why the earliest gospels, Mark and Quelle, have such an underdeveloped and uncertain Christology – because the authors of Mark and Quelle were themselves uncertain, and so they intentionally left the Christology of their gospels incomplete.         

      If Jesus Christ told people he was a space alien, nobody would have known what it meant.  The ancients had no concept of extra-terrestrial life, nor of outer space.  To them, the stars were imbedded in a ceiling just above the earth.  To them, the planets were nothing but wandering stars on their astrology charts.  If they saw a UFO, it was attributed to the gods.  If they saw a space alien, it was said to be a demon or monster of some sort.  Telling people about space aliens back then would have resulted in unnecessary confusion.  If Jesus Christ were a space alien, the best thing for him to do would be to do exactly what he did – tell people he was from heaven, but leave his precise nature a mystery.  Indeed, he did just that, and his actions in this respect are congruent with what we would expect from a space alien who visited us before we had the scientific knowledge to understand him properly.  The result was a vast array of differing opinions concerning who he was, all of which emerged rather spontaneously within a few short decades of his lifetime.

      Jesus Christ did not want people to know who he was.  In fact, he was quite satisfied to allow confusion about him to persist.  As Mark, the earliest gospel, records, he asked his disciples, "Who do people think I am?"  They answered that a variety of opinions about his nature were in circulation.  Jesus then asked, "Who do you think I am?"  They replied, "The Messiah."  Then Jesus "sternly warned them not to tell anyone this."[75] 

      On another occasion, recorded outside the Bible, a man named Abgar wrote a letter to Jesus Christ saying, "I reasoned that you must be either God or the Son of God."  Jesus wrote back to Abgar saying, "Blessed are you because you have believed."[76]  What is interesting here is that Jesus Christ did not care to answer the implicit question – was he God or was he the Son of God?  This question was responsible for the Arian schism, the debate at Nicea, and the Gothic Wars which plunged Europe into the dark ages.  It was a very important question, yet Jesus did not answer it.  He wanted people to believe in him, but didn’t really want them to know exactly who he was.  This is fully congruent with what we might expect from a space alien who never bothered to explain his precise nature because it was beyond the comprehension of his audience, or because he wanted to maintain some level of secrecy.

      Consequently, speculation about Jesus Christ’s true nature ran wild in the early days of the faith.  Nobody knew for sure who he was, so everybody started guessing.  But the speculation always assumed he was not of this world, because that was the one thing everybody who saw him could agree upon. 

 

To Prepare a Place for You

In my Father's house are many mansions.  If it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to me, so that where I am, you might also be there.[77] 

 

So said Jesus.  If we dare to take this passage at its most literal face value, then the meaning is quite clear:  Jesus' Father has a lot of big houses in his kingdom, but he doesn't have enough for us earthlings yet; and that's why Jesus left earth, to prepare a place for us, so that there would be enough room in the kingdom of God for us.  In light of the gods being physically real extraterrestrial entities, the passage becomes a lot more tangible and straightforward:  The Christian God doesn't control enough planets in the Galaxy to properly accommodate his servants, and so he is going to find some more planets in outer space that they can colonize.  Thus, he will add "mansions" to his kingdom. 

      Although this interpretation might seem outlandish, it is actually supported when read in conjunction with another dark parable of Jesus – a parable that theologians often reinterpret because of its violent nature and because of its incomprehensibility when read within the confines of the traditional Christian paradigm.  What centuries of theology have missed in this parable becomes entirely understandable when we understand that Jesus is a space god who left earth in order to conquer a planet for his servants to colonize. 

 

People were thinking that the kingdom of God would appear immediately, and so Jesus told them, "A certain nobleman went to a far away country to acquire a kingdom for himself, and to return… but his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us…' (and the nobleman replied), 'Bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them.  Bring them here, and slay them in front of me.'"[78] 

 

The nobleman is Jesus.  The far away country is a planet beyond this earth.  The citizens are the occupants of the planet Jesus intends to conquer.  They don't want to be conquered, so Jesus is going to kill them.

      This parable is part of the very early gospel source Quelle, found in both Matthew and in Luke, and as such is one of the most certainly authentic oracles of Jesus. 

      The idea that the Christian God is a God of conquest should not be surprising at all.  One of the most frequently used names for God in the Prophetic oracles of the Bible is "LORD of Hosts."  The word "hosts" is actually the Hebrew word sabbaoth, which means "armies," and so "LORD of Hosts" is actually "Yahweh of Armies."  It is a military title for God.  The prophesies of Revelation corroborate that Christ is a militant God:

 

He (Christ) judges and makes war… the armies which were in heaven followed him…  and I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him and against his army.[79] 

 

The Christian God is a God of military conquest.  The "church militant" is truly a militant church. 

      After 540 million years of animals ripping each others heads off and eating each other, it is safe to say there is certainly no Natural Law of Love.  The only Natural Law is Natural Selection, the Law of the Jungle – and everyone, both gods and mortals, must abide by this law in order to survive.  Survival of the fittest does not permit the gods to be anything better than violent creatures.  For this reason Jesus said,

 

Unless you bear your cross every day and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.  Whoever tries to save their life will loose it, and whoever looses their life for my sake and for the gospel's, the same shall save it.  If you wish to build a fortress, you should first count the cost.[80]

 

If God were the Almighty God of Unconditional Love and Grace, then shouldn't he endeavor to save all his children?  On the other hand, if God is a space alien who is locked in a violent death match with other space aliens, then it makes sense that he would only save his most loyal followers, because only those who are loyal have the will to fight for him in the never ending wars of the gods.  Jesus Christ's statement above indicates that the latter is the case, for the cost to follow him is great, on account of the incessant warfare it entails.
