Hi! RevDeb here. The information that you will
find on this page and any of the pages following this, that has to do with spacecraft,
aliens, extraterrestrial contact, etc., is information that some of you may
feel is "over the edge". This particular section is just for you!
You see, some of us believe in these things without question, some of us believe
because it has been proved to us, and some of us are just open-minded and believe
that in this reality… anything is possible. We are introducing you to these
pages not to make a believer of you, but to show you why some of us CAN and
DO believe. Think of us as you will; it makes no real difference to us what
you think. What does make a difference to us is IF you FEEL that we are just
a bunch of mindless stupid humans that have no basis at all for our beliefs.
All we ask of you at this point is that you get out of your own personal belief
system long enough to look at the following pages with an open mind and an open
heart. On just a personal note here, if you are wondering why I believe in UFO's,
then read about my dream. Thank you!
Special Note: During this discourse you will see many pictures that have been put together from several different sites on the internet. The addresses for these sites will be given at the appropriate places. However, if you will click your mouse on these pictures you, will be shown a different version of the picture. The differences may be just in size and/or clarity, but in some of them I have taken the pictures into a graphics program and lightened them up or have played with the contrast, and I have also smoothed some of them out and possibly taken out noise. I have NOT tampered with adding or taking out images! With research you can even track down the originals, or if you have a yearning to travel, you could also go to the museums that most of the original artwork is located at.
Additional Note: For those of you that are already believers or if you are, like myself, a history buff, I KNOW you will enjoy the following!
As you are reading the following verses, if you choose to do so, then perhaps the best way that you could see things the way some of us do, is to imagine yourself 2,000-5,000 years ago. You've never seen a light bulb, you've never seen a car, a telephone, a lock, or even a drinking glass. When talking to others about this ability to see through the eyes of someone a couple of thousand years ago, I usually use the New Jerusalem from the book of Revelation in the Bible:
REVELATION 21:10-23 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and
high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending
out of heaven from God. 11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto
a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12 And had
a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels,
and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children
of Israel: 13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south
three gates; and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve
foundations, and in the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he
that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof,
and the wall thereof. 16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as
large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand
furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 17 And
he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according
to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 18 And the building of the wall
of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 19 And
the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious
stones. The first foundation was jasper
(reddish brown to brick red in color); the second, sapphire
(black, blue, pink, yellow or white in color); the third, a chalcedony
(blue in color); the fourth, an emerald
(green in color); 20 The fifth, sardonyx;(brownish
red color) the sixth, sardius
(yellow to brown color usually banded); the seventh, chrysolyte
(pale green in color); the eighth, beryl
(pale blue, colorless, deep red, green, gold or pink in color); the ninth, a
topaz
(deep yellow orange to colorless in color), the tenth, a chrysoprasus
(green in color); the eleventh, a jacinth
(deep red, yellow to colorless in color); the twelfth, an amethyst
(deep purple to almost clear in color). 21 And the twelve gates were twelve
pearls: every several gate was of one pearl, and the street of the city was
pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 22 And I saw no temple therein: for
the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city had
no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God
did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
In this exercise picture in your mind the wonderful mothership from the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Remember the colors flashing on the bottom of the ship to match the tones and colors that the humans were playing to the ship? Now… at this point sit back, relax, and just imagine that you are John - 2,000 years ago - in exile, on an island… alone in your contemplation and a mothership like the one in that movie comes out of the sky in front of you. How would you describe it? I personally think that most Christians either feel that the Bible is nothing but symbolism, especially when talking of the book of Revelation. HOWEVER, if you can open yourself up just enough to look at this through eyes from 2,000 years ago, then at least be honest with HOW you could have described this ship… better yet… how do you think that John would have described a flashlight to someone else of his age? When you can take a closer look at other things that are mentioned by John in Revelation, then perhaps you could begin to see that maybe just maybe some of the beasts that were described could be something from THIS time being described by a man of THOSE times. Helicopters, tanks, missiles, and submarines - these are things that could have been shown to John in which he would describe in the manner of his day, which to us in these times might see only as symbolism. But there is one thing that we can be sure of… right after his descriptions of the beasts there comes the quote: REVELATION 13:10 "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints." This tells us that John was definitely talking about weapons of war!
As I said earlier, I am not attempting to change
anyone's personal belief systems, I just want each of you to be able to understand
more fully how others may see things and believe things differently than you
do. Some of us believe that there are definitely signs in the sky… and
that some of these signs can be in the clouds as clouds do tend to make formations
that cannot be fully explained. Tuella, a past employer of mine, taught me that
when lenticular clouds form it is
due to three or more ships moving into our atmosphere. The more layers the lenticular
clouds have the more ships that are coming in.
One more thing that might do you well to know is that most historians believe that when the ships that brought the pilgrims to the Americas landed and unloaded… the natives of this area thought that they were seeing people come out of a whale. They had never seen a sailing vessel before; therefore it wasn't in their reality. So they simply adapted something that did fit their reality… a whale.
Now that I've hopefully taught you how we may perceive some things differently, perhaps you might now go through the following list of Bible verses that I've pulled out that show ME that the Bible speaks of ships, craft, extraterrestrials, and a few other non-earthly things. Keep in mind these are just a handful of verses, there are many many more… depending on which Bible you use *smile*.
GENESIS 15:17 And it came to pass, that,
when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning
lamp that passed between those pieces.
GENESIS 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth,
and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending
and descending on it.
EXODUS 13:21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud,
to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light;
to go by day and night: 22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day,
nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
EXODUS 14:19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel,
removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their
face, and stood behind them: 20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians
and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave
light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
EXODUS 14:24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord
looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the
cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians
EXODUS 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare
you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
EXODUS 19:11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the
Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.

descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a
furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
EXODUS 24:15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the
mount. 16 And the glory of the Lord abode upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered
it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the
cloud.
EXODUS 33:9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle,
the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the
Lord talked with Moses. 10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at
the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in
his tent door.
EXODUS 34:5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there,
and proclaimed the name of the Lord
EXODUS 40:34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the
glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35 And Moses was not able to enter
into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the
glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 36 And when the cloud was taken up
from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
37 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day
that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by
day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout
all their journeys.
NUMBERS 9:15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud
covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there
was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
NUMBERS 9:16 So it was always: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance
of fire by night. 17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then
after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud
abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents. 18 At the commandment
of the Lord the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the
Lord they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested
in their tents. 19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many
days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the Lord, and journeyed
not. 20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according
to the commandment of the Lord they abode in their tents, and according to the
commandment of the Lord they journeyed. 21 And so it was, when the cloud abode
from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning,
then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken
up, they journeyed. 22 Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that
the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining hereon, the children of Israel
abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
NUMBERS 10:11 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second

went out of the camp.

bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
NUMBERS 11:25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him,
and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders:
and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied,
and did not cease.
NUMBERS 12:5 And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and
stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both
came forth.

Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold,
she was leprous.
NUMBERS 14:14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land:
for they have heard that thou Lord art among this people, that thou Lord art
seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest
before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by
night.
NUMBERS 16:12 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered
against Moses and against Aaron that they looked toward the tabernacle of the
congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.

place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should

them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12 And Elisha
saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen
thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent
them in two pieces.
2 KINGS 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his
eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he
saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round
about Elisha. 18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the Lord,
and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them
with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
1 CHRONICLES 21:16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of

were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord's
house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
