IS THERE LIFE OUT IN THE UNIVERSE?

By David Ben Yakov

At the Delusion Resistance Ministries we are involved in exposing elements of what the Bible calls the "Great Delusion" to the public. While we offer our articles to the general public we especially want to warn believers in Yeshua (Jesus) about the Great Delusion so that they do not fall for the lies that are coming upon the earth. Whether people listen is up to them and to the leading of the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit). If anyone reads what we present and they accept it then that is wonderful and they will be blessed and prepared. If however someone reads the material and they mock it or just dismiss it then we feel confident that they have received the information and how they handle it is between them and Yahweh (The LORD). As always, we encourage everyone who reads our articles to check them with scripture, just like the Berean's did when presented with the New Covenant.

Because the subject matter of this article deals with enforcing that we are alone in the Universe; and because we use scripture we feel that believers in Yeshua will be the focus of this study. We also know that there are unbelievers who are seeking truth and we welcome you to read this material and ponder it in your heart.

There seems to be many thoughts flowing through mankind as a whole as it searches for the truth about its origins. Many ask about where we come from. The main purpose for that question is really the final destination of the linear pathway that our origins flows to; that being where are we going. Mankind is obsessed with the future, spurred on by the question of where we all end up when our life here on Earth ends. Do we just lie in the ground where we are eaten by worms; futility being our final end? If not, is there an answer to the mystery of death? Do we live on, and if we do, what happens in that afterlife. The three monotheistic religions all point to the fact that there is much more after our short life on earth ends. The problem however is which message to trust. The answer to the question lies in faith and many want the answers to life without having to practice faith. They would rather have someone come to tell modern society the answers to life. They don't want to have to rely on ancient books and dead prophets and eyewitness accounts of people who have been dead for centuries, even millennia. No, divine revelation isn't of any use to them. They would rather have someone come in person to explain the answers to them; someone that they can touch and see. They want front row seats in a live performance.

Since secular society doesn't believe that the promises of Yahweh are true they are looking for an outside source for the information that they seek. They know that they cannot trust another man because people are faulty and sooner or later they seem to fall to hypocrisy. They look for someone more advanced than humankind, someone who perhaps is so much more advanced that they are; that is closer to Yahweh for that very reason. Enter the search for Intelligent Life in The Universe. For some reason there is an assumption that just because a being might be more advanced technologically they must therefore be advanced morally and spiritually. One just has to look at how mankind acts compared to many animals in the fauna kingdom and that notion will quickly be dispelled. Money would be better spent looking for or promulgating intelligent and moral life here on earth.

When I am asked if there is life in the universe, or when someone declares to me that they believe that there is life in the universe I first have distinguish what they mean when they use the word "life." We know that there are two kingdoms in this world; the animal kingdom and the plant kingdom. Of course there are some organisms that seem to fall into a middle class because they have characteristics from each kingdom, but for our discussion in this article, there are only two kingdoms. We know that there is a basic intelligence of sorts in both kingdoms When we say that there is a basic intelligence we are referring the ability of everything to act in accordance to the way that DNA forms the structure. When we're talking about intelligence we refer to animals of a higher order that can create things; can communicate with speech, have independent thought and can reason so that they can create technology. On earth, mankind is the only creature who fits into this mold. We believe that mankind is the only one in the universe who can create in this way because we are unique. We will attempt to prove this using Biblical scripture and common sense.

Intelligent Live Versus Non-Intelligent Life:

Many times when this discussion is brought up in conversation the person asking the question will ask me if I think that there is life out in the universe. That question has to be answered by throwing back a question at the person asking them if they are talking about intelligent life or simple life. Sometimes that question will baffle that person because they weren't expecting to answer a question. I'll explain to them that by intelligent life I mean life that is technologically advanced; life similar to human beings who can make tools and reason; beings who can think and reason and apply their thoughts practically. By unintelligent life I mean simple life forms like plants or like animals that exist without really knowing that they exist, like the animal kingdom that lives on earth apart from human beings. In essence, animals that have a body and maybe even a soul, but not a spirit.

It is not inconceivable to think that there is unintelligent life in the universe, although my personal thought is that this is not the case. Could there be life on other planets, such as lower life forms that have no spirit; possibly. Could there be planets that have lush forests and wheat fields as far as the eye can see; again it is possible. But if we're looking it with any sort of scriptural insight then we have to suspect that these worlds do not exist. Let's look at what the Bible says about this matter.

Sin Has Affected All of Creation:

To get things started and to see how the fall of mankind threw a wrench into all of creation we first have to look as scriptures pertinent to this fact. The first is found in Paul's letter to the Romans:

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Romans 8:18-22 NKJV

We have to realize that when Adam and Chava sinned their sin not only corrupted mankind and earth, but it corrupted all of creation. The entire universe became a fallen realm. Because the whole of creation is corrupted, Yahweh is going to have to create a whole new heaven and earth. This is found in the two scriptures that follow:

Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:13

And:

Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Revelation 21:1

The Greek word for "heaven(s)" in the two scriptures is "ouranos" and it means either the enveloped expanse of atmosphere around the earth, or the heavens that we see at night or the place where Yahweh lives. Needless to say that there will be a new universe; the creation of a new earth and the rest of creation. This will not include the third heaven as it is separated from the creation and not part of the fallen order. Earth seems to have a particular significance to Yahweh over the other places of the universe. Had Yahweh seen earth as just one of thousands or millions of other inhabited planets then I am sure that He would have had his inspired writers state this in their writings. Instead, we see a new earth and a new heaven.

If there were extraterrestrial entities living on other worlds then this judgment would be absolutely unfair to them. To make a point, imagine if you will a race of beings on another planet somewhere out in the universe. They are living peacefully and perhaps they even know Yahweh as their God. Then, one day they don't hear from Yahweh anymore and their land doesn't produce food and their once perfect world starts to decay. They didn't deserve any of this but because a man and woman on a distant planet fell from Yahweh's grace they did too. Yahweh is not unjust and he would not subject them to this fate. But, we have to remember that they are part of the same creation and since Yahweh has made it quite clear that what happens on earth affects all of creation; they have to fall under the same judgment.

Let's take things a step farther. If the universe was perfect before the fall of Adam and Chava, which we believe the Bible proves quite emphatically, then the fall of mankind brought difficulties to beings on other planets. In other words, before the fall of mankind there were no asteroid impacts; no exploding comets, no nova or supernova and there were no black holes. But because of Adam and Chava's fall all of the other beings in the universe are now subject to those things? Again, I cannot see nor do I see the Bible providing evidence for such things.

Messiah's Ministry and Death and Resurrection Were For Earth Only:

One of the most wonderful provisions of the Mosaic Law was that of the Goel (go-el) or the Kinsman Redeemer. Without going into some long exegesis about the Goel, we can sum up this Mosaic provision by saying that the Kinsman Redeemer was a close relative who was commissioned to pull his kinsman out of a jam. In a modern day scenario he would be the rich brother who would pay off the loan-sharks, or the lawyer who would represent you in court or perhaps the big brother who protects the little brother from the bullies at school. The interesting thing is that in the Mosaic Law, this person was only qualified to be a kinsman redeemer if he was a blood relative. Let's review the scripture in Romans again to build more upon this:

because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Romans 8:21 NKJV

It is quite obvious that the term, "children of God" refers to people who are born of the Ruach Ha Kodesh through faith in Yeshua and by this act they become adopted "sons of God." But notice something important about the scripture. The creation is not delivered from bondage until the people who come to know the Father through Yeshua actually attain their sonship. It is only after we obtain our liberty that the creation can be delivered.

For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. Colossians 1:19-20

When a word study is done of the scripture above something interesting is found. We notice that the word, "things" is found in this scripture three times. There really is no Greek word for "things" in the Greek text of this scripture. So, it can be written differently without taking away from the meaning of the scripture. The way it could read is:

For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all to Himself, by Him, whether on earth or in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

This seems to suggest that not only is mankind going to be reconciled back to Yahweh, but every atom in the universe will be brought back into Yahweh's will. The Greek word for "reconcile" apokatallassō is defined as, "to bring back to a former state of harmony." Someday in the near future Yeshua will come back to redeem not only mankind, but all of creation.

Getting back to the kinsman redeemer; we know that he has to be someone who is a close relative. In other words, he has to be a human, or have a human genetic makeup. We see this quite clear in the incarnation of Yeshua:

But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, bornof a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. Galatians 4:4-5

Just as it was because of a kinsman (Adam) that we became a fallen race, it had to be a kinsman that would have to redeem us from our fallen condition. Yeshua is called "the last Adam," as we see in the following scripture:

But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.....And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:20-22, 45

If we turn to the book of the Prophet Isaiah we see that in the fifty third chapter there is a description of Yeshua and his ministry. Interestingly, this prophecy was written more than seven hundred years before Yeshua actually walked the earth. Let's read it and then explore its meaning where our subject matter is concerned:

He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. Isaiah 53:3-8

This scripture talks exclusively about the ministry of Yeshua Ha Mashiach where His suffering is concerned. It is talking about the atoning sacrifice that Yeshua performed for us. Notice that the whole passage above is talking about human beings. But we must look at the last sentence that is presented above. The passage says, "For the transgressions of My people He was stricken." Notice that it doesn't say that He was stricken for the transgressions of the whole universe, nor does it mention any other beings, only humans. Looking at the Strongs concordance of the Bible we can do a word study of a word in this sentence that should prove who the sacrifice was for:

The word that we will examine is the Hebrew word for "my people." The Hebrew word is `am and it has the following meanings:

1) nation, people

a) people, nation

b) persons, members of one's people, compatriots, country-men

2) kinsman, kindred

Notice that the Hebrew word for "people" has only meanings that exclusively deal with human beings. There are those who might contend that by people could mean any "humanoid" beings. We see however that in Yahweh's eyes, and by His definition, He is referring to human beings. This point is driven home by definition number two that states that "people" doesn't just mean human beings, but it means kinsman, which refers exclusively to the "human family." If you were conceived by two human beings and have only human chromosomes in your DNA then you fall into this category. If you don't then you have bigger fish to fry.

The word "people," is still defined in our modern language as meaning exclusive human family. If one does a study of the word "people," in a modern day dictionary one can find the following.

The Cambridge Dictionary defines "people," as:

1. men, women and children

Merriam Webster defines “people,” as:

1. human beings making up a group or assembly or linked by a common interest

2. human beings, persons — often used in compounds instead of persons

3. the members of a family or kinship

It would be foolish to argue that in Yahweh’s eyes, the atonement of Yeshua was for anyone other than the human family. So that we can finally drive the point home, let’s look at one more scripture that proves that Yeshua’s atonement is for mankind and mankind alone:

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16-17

Notice that the scripture only mentions our world. It does not mention other worlds nor does it mention the universe or any other aspect of creation. To retain fidelity in our message we must study the word "world" in the passage because it could have more than one meaning. The Greek word for "world" in this passage is the word "Kosmos," and it does have more than one meaning. Let's look at those meanings:

1. the world, the universe

2. the circle of the earth, the earth

3. the inhabitants of the earth, men, the human family

4. the ungodly multitude; the whole mass of men alienated from God, and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ

There are three other definitions but they are totally outside of the any context that we are studying here. There are those who could construe through the first definition that it could mean other worlds in the universe. This meaning however is a generalized term and it is basically using the places of the world and the universe to describe what we in modern times know as space/time, or the material universe. In essence, it is not talking about any certain place or places, only the general creation.

The second definition doesn't fit the context of the passage either because it is in essence narrowing the generalization of the first definition. It is obvious that Yahweh doesn't love the material world because it is in a fallen state and Yahweh showed John in Revelation that Yahweh would someday destroy the universe and create it anew (a new heaven and a new earth).

The only definitions that fit the context of the passage are the third and fourth definitions. They are describing fallen humanity as the one needing salvation. Note that again this is exclusively for humans, not any other race.

Since mankind is the only race that is fallen then it is quite obvious that there are no other races throughout the universe. Remember, that when mankind fell, his fall corrupted all of creation and all of creation travails and groans for the correction that only Yahweh can bring about.

Could It Be That Yeshua Goes To Each Planet and Dies for Each Race Throughout The Universe?

From what we have seen so far it would seem quite bleak for any extraterrestrial civilization that might exist. They would obviously be subject to the fallen nature of all of creation and therefore would be subject to the penalty of sin:

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

Remember that the gift of eternal life was procured through Yeshua for mankind alone. If there were civilizations out in the universe they would be forever lost and would ultimately spend eternity swimming in the lake of fire. Some have proposed a sort of loophole that would allow any civilization in the universe to be saved. That provision would be that Yeshua would visit every planet that contained intelligent life (beings with spirit, soul and body) and that he would die a sacrificial death, be buried and would rise again. We believe that Yahweh provided scripture because this argument would some day come up. This scriptures read:

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Romans 6:8-1

And:

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. 1 Peter 3:18

And:

He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. Hebrews 9:26-28

These scriptures do well to tie things up even more. First, Yahweh is telling us that Yeshua died once and isn't going to die again. All that He could do has been done. Second, it implies that there is nobody else to die for. It implies that life on earth is the only life in the universe. Third, He died on the earth, solely for mankind.

Yahweh Is Not A Polygamist:

One of the beautiful things about our relationship with Yahweh is that He considers the Church of true believers to be a Bride for Yeshua Ha Mashiach. We cane see that in a couple of scriptures where it is so beautifully penned:

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. Ephesians 5:25-27

And:

And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Revelation 19:6-8

In the beginning, in the Garden of Eden, Yahweh made a provision for a man and a woman to be married, and that a wife would have one husband and a husband would have one wife. This is seen in the very beginning, in Genesis:

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife [not wives]: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2:24 [Brackets mine]

If we were to suppose that Yeshua would go to one planet after another, dying and raising from the dead then we would have to suppose that He would found a church on every world. As we saw in the scriptures in Ephesians and Revelation, the Church is the Bride of Messiah. That being the case, if Yeshua would go to one planet after another to procure salvation and resurrection they He would take unto himself a bride on every planet. The sum of this theory would be that Yeshua would have a bride on each planet and in fact would be a polygamist. He would be violating the very precepts that He founded, making Him a hypocrite. Yahweh is not a hypocrite and He is not a polygamist.

What Yeshua Did Was A New Thing:

There are other things that go against the idea that Yeshua is crisscrossing the universe living, dying and resurrecting on many planets. We learned above that what Yeshua did was once and for all. He never has to die again. Since the fall of mankind corrupted the whole universe it would be unfair if other races on other planets suffered because of the human race, and Yahweh would not cause others to suffer because of what was done on one planet. Second, Yeshua became a kinsman redeemer. He became a human to offer salvation to humans. There is no mention in the Bible that there is life on other worlds nor does it mention that Yeshua's death was a expiation for any other race than mankind. Some like to use the scripture in the tenth chapter of John and equate it as meaning that there are inhabitants on other worlds:

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. John 10:16

As mentioned above, those who hope that there is life on other planets like to use John 10:16 for proof that there is life on other planets. They try to assert that Yeshua was using some sort of code when talking to some of the Pharisees and others who were following him and that in this code he was talking about extraterrestrial life. But first we must look at whom Yeshua was talking to. He was talking to a hostile crowd who weren't really taking his message to heart. He wouldn't use any sort of code with those who were really out to trap him and those who didn't care. The Pharisees knew what Yeshua was talking about. They knew that he was referring to the Gentiles when he referred to the other sheep. He was taking a clear separation that the Jewish leaders of the time had enforced; that Jew and Gentile were different species of human beings and he was telling them in no mixing of the words that the Gentiles would be welcomed into the Kingdom of Yahweh. He was telling the Pharisees something to this effect, "well, I have spoken to you for some time and you will not accept that I am have been sent from Father God and that I am God. Since you refuse to hear, I will see to it that my Gospel is preached to the Gentiles and they will hear my Words and they will accept me. I will put them with the sheep of the Jewish fold and they will all be one people and I will be their shepherd."

We have to examine a bit farther the words of the above scripture in the original Greek language. This is necessary so that we can see without the shadow of a doubt what Yeshua was saying here.

The first word that we will examine is the Greek word for "sheep." The word in Greek for "sheep" is probaton. In its broadest definition it could be any four footed domesticated grazing animal, but in the New Testament it exclusively is defined as sheep.

The word fold is mentioned twice in this scripture. The Greek word for the first mention of "fold" is aulē and instead of meaning the fold of sheep themselves, it means the stable or house that the sheep are kept in. Interestingly, many times when Yahweh addresses Israel in the prophets he refers to them as, "the house of Israel."

The Greek word for "one" as in "one fold" is mia. There is an emphasis in the definition of this word in that it just doesn't me "one," but it means "only one."

As I mentioned before, there are two times that the word, "fold," is mentioned. In the last part of this scripture the Greek word for "fold," is poimnē. This is the word that is defined as a flock of sheep.

So what Yeshua was really telling the Pharisees was the following:

Other believers I have, which are not of the House of Israel: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be only one flock of sheep, and one shepherd (which is Yeshua).

The Bible is so much easier to understand when word studies are done in original languages. Things are brought out into much more clarity and we understand Yahweh's thoughts without the conjecture that sometimes comes when humans interpret Yahweh's word using fleshly eyes.

There are other scriptures that bear witness to Earth being unique as the only bastion of life and mankind as a special creation of Yahweh. Let's take a look at just a couple more:

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. Romans 8:28-30

We see quite clearly in the scripture above that Yeshua is called, "The Firstborn among many brethren." The last time that I looked, the firstborn was the first and this means that there were no others before him. It also means that before his incarnation on Earth, Yeshua had never died before and as we saw in another scripture, He died once and for all.

Another scripture that proves that the process of salvation is a new thing can be found in 1 Peter. In this scripture, Peter tells us:

Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which angels desire to look into. 1 Peter 1:10-12

We know that sometime before the creation of Earth and mankind Yahweh created the angels. Angels are ministering agents. The names for angel both in Hebrew and Greek mean "messenger." Since the angels are in Yahweh's presence quite a bit of the time it would be assumed that they know much of what Yahweh has done in the past. Peter tells us that the gospel is something that the angels desire to look into. This indicates that salvation and grace are new things that the angels have never seen before. If salvation was an act that is perpetual, happening on planet after planet throughout the universe that it could be most assured that the angels would have had a chance to look into it and understand it. If however it is new and unique to earth then it would even stymie them.

Finally, we have the word of Yeshua himself. As he hung on the cross, bleeding and broken because of our sin and experiencing separation from the Father for the first time ever, he uttered these words that prove that it never has to happen again:

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. John 19:28-30

So in the words of the creator of the universe, it was completed. Adam brought corruption to the universe by bringing the sin nature upon mankind and through no choice of our own we were born with a sin nature that caused us to be rebellious toward Yahweh. This same Yeshua brought about a remedy and gave a choice to everyone in the world to become right again with Yahweh and to walk outside of the corruption. Someday soon He will return to our planet to put an end to the corruption of creation.

What If ET's Civilization is Older Than Earth And Not Subject To All of This:

A conjecture has arisen before when I have talked to Christians about all of this stuff. That conjecture is that perhaps there is a civilization that is older than ours and that for some reason the fact that they would predate us would somehow nullify them from the sin of Adam, or perhaps Yeshua went there and died first and then came to Earth. Scripturally speaking, that is impossible and we will prove it.

The first thing that we need to look at is the Genesis account of Creation. We're assuming that people who are reading this text believe that the Bible is Holy Spirit inspired and has someone has said, "If God says it, I believe it, that settles it." In other words, we assume that if you're reading this you believe that the Bible is the Word of God, inerrant, Holy Spirit inspired and that you take it literal. For instance, when Yahweh says "six days" in Genesis that he means a literal six days.

Many people make mistakes when using the English language, especially when they take some of the words from the King James Bible. It is often forgotten that the King James Bible was written in King James English; therefore some of the words in its pages might have different meanings than they do today. Take for instance some recent words that have had changes or expansions to their meanings. The word "gay" used to mean happy. In our modern vernacular it can still mean that, but the word has been bastardized to mean "homosexual," so much so that almost all people refrain from using it to equate happiness to the person that they are trying describe to others. Today you cannot walk up to a person who has a fever and tell them that they look hot because that word has been bastardized to mean that someone is sexually appealing. I think that we understand the premise now.

There are many who have bought into the theory of evolution; yes even many in the Christian realm. I used to be amazed at how many Christians believe that evolution has been used in part by Yahweh to bring about the animal and plant kingdom that we have today. This comes from two things; listening to worldly people too much and not reading their Bible's enough. When we start to listen to the world and we believe what they say we start to see their gospel conflicting with the Gospel of Messiah. Over the centuries science has proven to us that it is a viable way of explaining many things and through the centuries men like Galileo and Newton brought scientific truths to this world that can bear witness to scriptural truths and vice versa. The blessings that true science has brought to us have been hijacked by our modern false sciences that have slowly replaced or manipulated the once solid foundation and have built a house on that new and unstable foundation. Where once scientists tried to prove Yahweh right and explain scripture through natural processes; now they have proceeded in a unholy quest prove that everything exists independent of Yahweh, and that is taking them down a slippery slope that will land them in the occult mystery sciences.

Because the world and many Christians too, have seen the wonderful advances and conveniences that modern science has brought to us, many tend to think that everything science brings to us is good and wholesome. This has caused many Christians to attempt to meld modern science with scripture and that will never be possible, unless the person who is trying to do that corrupts scripture to meld with corrupt science.

One case in point is that there are Christians who believe that a civilization existed before Adam and Chava were created. They assert that there was a wicked creation on earth and that Yahweh had to destroy the whole earth and start all over again. The scripture that they use for this false doctrine is:

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28

And they back up their point by using the only other scripture in all of the Bible that uses the word, "replenish":

And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Genesis 9:1

The English language is hard to understand and to dissect. There are many words in English that have a the prefix "re" in the beginning, such as "revitalize," which means to bring new life to, or "renew," which means to make new again. In essence, when we see that prefix in front of a word we immediately process that whatever our subject matter is the "re" in front of the word means that a process is going to be repeated. Many have taken this to mean that when Yahweh told both audiences to "replenish" the earth, they were being told that they needed to repopulate the earth. In Noah's case this was true, but when Yahweh was talking to Adam and Chava this was not the case. If we look at earlier dictionaries of the English language we see that "replenishes'" only meaning was to "fill." In essence, Yahweh was telling Adam and Chava, as well as Noah and his sons that the earth was empty and that it needed to be filled, not refilled, although as was the case with Noah and his sons, the word refilled would be adequate in addition to the true meaning of what Yahweh was telling them.

We're not finished yet though. We've looked at the older English in this matter, but what about the language of the original script? What does the Hebrew word in the passages mean? When we find out this meaning we will truly know the true intent of Yahweh. The Hebrew word for "replenish," is male' and it's only definition is "to fill." The only way to come up with any other sort of definition is through ignorance or deliberate deceit. Every believer in Yeshua must come to a truth and their walk with Yahweh will soar to the heavens or fall to the earth depending on what they believe in this matter. If a believer comes to the determination that the Bible is the Word of God and that it has been uncorrupted throughout the ages and that Yahweh says what He means and means what He says, then they will understand Yahweh and they will prosper in His Ruach (Spirit). If however they question the Bible, they question its inspiration. And, if they spend their lives trying to invent new meanings to what Yahweh has already made clear, then they condemn themselves to disobedience, and then to iniquity and finally death.

Frankly, the premise that there could have been an older civilization that could have been older than earth and outside of the curse is preposterous. The first issue that is addressed in this topic is that the earth was created before the moon, the sun and the stars. Scripture clearly points this out:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day........Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day. Genesis 1:1-5; 14-19

Looking at the scripture itself we can see that Yahweh created the Earth on the first day and He created the sun, moon and stars on the fourth day. Therefore, Earth existed well before the all of the luminaries and therefore it is older. Sure Yahweh created the "heavens and the earth," on the first day, but he only made the expanse on the first day. He replenished (filled) the universe with stars and our own two luminaries on the fourth day. This proves that if anything, any life that would live in space is younger than the Earth and it would be far less technologically advanced.

Some submit their theory that when Yahweh talked about days in Genesis' first chapters, he was really talking about epochs. This is an interesting theory except that it holds some deadly problems for creation. Almost all plants on earth survive because they make food through photosynthesis. This mechanism's main generator is sunlight. Since Yahweh made the plants two days (or many epochs) before the sun then plants would not have been able to survive and the plant kingdom would have died out and never survived. The gravitational pull of the sun and moon also affect the tides which regulate many things on earth that are important to life.

The assertion that the days were really epochs falls into another problem. While it is true that the Hebrew word for day, which is "yom" could mean periods of time there is one problem that those who subscribe to this notion fail to take notice of, or if they do, they choose to ignore. Elohim himself; the one who was there when the world was made and the maker of the universe himself bore witness to the days of Genesis being literal days:

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 20:11

The assertion that the earth was created in six literal days and that the seventh day is a day of rest is peppered all throughout the Torah, Neviim and Ketuvim (The Law, Prophets and the Writings) and also throughout the New Testament. It is quite clear that the days of creation were literal 24 hour days and not epochs.

There is another problem for any supposed extraterrestrial civilization. At the end of time and just prior to Yeshua's return there will be some celestial events that could be detrimental for any space brothers. The writer of Revelation talks about the sun, moon and stars not shining at one time in the future.

And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. Revelation 8:12

This seems to be Yahweh reiterating what He said through the Prophet Joel:

The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. Joel 3:15

Yahweh tells in Revelation that the stars will fall from the skies:

And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. Revelation 6:13

There is some speculation that the word "stars" here is speaking about fallen angels. We are not contending the meaning, and it might have two meanings, one spiritual which would be the angels and another physical which would be the literal stars. If the meaning is literal stars then it is going to be a bad day for ET because without notice their stars will stop shining and their planet will be plunged into absolute zero conditions almost immediately. Yahweh's judgment will affect the whole universe and there will be no place that will go unscathed. For this reason and all of the reasons that we have illustrated above, we know with surety that there is no life outside of life on earth in the universe.

There is however other life on earth that cannot be seen at will; insidious beings that live in other dimensions of our own reality. They have been responsible for many of the ills that have affected mankind throughout our scant six thousand year existence here on earth. You can read more about them by visiting our website, The Delusion Resistance at: www.delusionresistance.org and there you can read more about these beings. They are the ones who masquerade as extraterrestrials and other beings that seem to elude mankind while at the same time causing all sorts of trouble, speculation and doubt.
