The Issue Of Other Inhabited Worlds. 08/11/2015 (Evening thought)

Job 38:1  Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,  3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.  4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.  7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Job 2:1  Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.

These two passages of scripture teach us that our planet is not the only inhabited one in the universe, for in contrast with the other inhabited worlds, we are just a speck of dust on the sea shore. The sons of God referred to in the above passages are the heads of the other worlds, to whom God gave jurisdiction, just as he did with Adam. These "Sons of God" are not angels nor human beings, but entirely different breeds of which we know absolutely nothing. In addition to this, they are not permitted to interact with sinful human beings for any reason, because our planet being the only one that fell into sin, is quarantined by the providence of God, and it is only holy angels who are allowed entrance and interaction with us, for purposes pertaining to salvation, and God's will.

The evil angels who fell after sinning in heaven are now restricted to our planet, and have been permanently debarred from the gates of heaven, and from interacting with any of the other leaders and inhabitants of the other worlds. This we know for certain from the scriptures which describe in the clearest language, the fall and expulsion of one third of the angelic host who fell together with satan. Let's read:

Revelation 12:3  And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon"...  4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth"..... 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,  8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.  9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

We need to be very careful in these last days of earth's history, lest we fall victim to the many sophistries and theories which are scheduled to proliferate just before Christ returns. Any UFO sightings, or accounts of aliens invading our space, is nothing but the manifestation of demons, seeking to get the attention of the entire world, before the great final conflict is unfurled. Case in point is that recent photograph taken by NASA, in which the apparition of a woman is seen supposedly walking on Mars. There cannot be any human beings living on Mars, because the Bible has already stated that all humans are restricted to this earth as far as inhabitants go, and therefore, any claim of human life elsewhere is a falsehood, or an interference from the enemy of souls, seeking to distract our minds from preparing for that great day. Let's read:

Acts 17:24  God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;  26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.

When this world has finally come to an end, and the righteous are saved forever in the earth made new, then Jesus will explain and reveal to our wondering minds, the mysteries of His creative power and work, and then we will have the opportunity to visit the myriad of other unfallen worlds, from which we are now excluded on account of sin. So let's wait in faith until such time, and not be carried away by any whimsical sophistries and so-called discoveries of science, which try in vain to make the word of God of none effect.

We therefore end with a passage of scripture which reiterates the consummation of our hopes and dreams, and if we are faithful it will all become a living reality, sooner than later. Let's read:

1st Corinthians 15:40  There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.  44 "There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.  51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,  52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

May God add His blessing to the study and practice of His word. "Good night" and God bless!
