and Elijah came to meet Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration via "a bright cloud". We know what these "clouds" were. The "cloud" disap- peared with them again. The poor man in Luke 16, was carried by space- men into another world. Do space-men carry away into heaven or space the "souls" of the dead? A woman in Rev. 12, was given unusual loco- motive powers to escape her enemy. These instances can be multiplied hundreds of times !!

Even God's activities now become clearer! God's presence in scripture is described "like birds hovering" (Isa. 31:5). The hovering is a hovering of some flying object. "Clouds" are called His chariot, with fire and smoke (Ps. 104). One reads of "a swift cloud" (Isa. 19:1), in other words a space-ship. Note the following description: "Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations also of the mountains trembled and quaked, because He was angry. Smoke went up from His nostrils, and devouring fire from His mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from Him. He bowed the heavens and came down. Thick dark- ness was under His feet. He rode on a cherub and flew. He came swiftly upon the wings of the wind" (Ps. 18). We have discussed these signs above. They describe a space-ship, although the observer here, in not seeing the pilot, describes the space-ship as though it were a person. Perhaps in this case this space-ship might be God's own private space- ship or the so-called "mother" ship. Why should we deny God the right to make a machine and use it too, if He wants to?

God's presence with Israel in the desert was via a "pillar of cloud" in the day and by night a "pillar of fire"; the fire of course would not be visible in the sky by day (Exo. 13). Out of this cloud God harassed the Egyptians. In Isa. 66, it is reported "for behold the Lord will come in fire and His chariots like the storm-wind with flames of fire". And a- gain, "His chariots are like the whirlwind" (Jer. 4:13). Psalms 68:17, claims that God lived on Mount Sinai for a while with 20,000 chariots. Big "clouds" settled on Mount Sinai with "fire" and "smoke" for forty days. Moses was given the tablets of the law on this mountain, through the intervention of space-men, as Paul tells us. Sinai seems to have been God's headquarters for a certain maneuver at this time. Space-men with their ships always seem to be present when God's people are in dan- ger. Even a difficult passage like "And the 'glory' of the Lord went up from the midst of the city and stood upon the mountain" (Ezk. 11:23), now becomes clear. It means that the ships took off from the middle of the city, the take-off place, and then landed on a mountain.

Neither should we forget that God is called the Lord of "Sabbaoth" in the Bible, which means the Lord of "hosts" or "armies" - real armies, space-armies. This name "the Lord of hosts", is the most used name for God in the Bible. He is the God of war. This title is used hundreds of times together with the complementary phrase "hosts of heaven", or hosts of space. Jacob once saw the whole assembled army. We read, "The angels (space-men) of God met him and when Jacob saw them he said, 'This is God's army'." (Gen. 32). These hosts were at one time an ob- ject of worship by earth-men. It seems that God often came down out of heaven or space to earth to fulfill His plans and to carry out certain campaigns.

When the space-ships were stationary and when the central turret was raised, they looked like thrones, and are so-called in scripture. "His throne was fiery flames, its wheels were burning fire, a stream of fire issued and came forth from before Him" (Dan. 7:9). No ordinary thrones these, but space-ships! In Rev. 4, we have a unique description of the "mother" ship and twenty-four others on a landing-field which looked like a "sea of glass-like crystal", and from them all came flashes of lightning, voices and peals of thunder".
