Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,531 --> 00:00:03,897
Winged creatures...
2
00:00:04,976 --> 00:00:06,703
Carrying messages from the heavens.
3
00:00:08,981 --> 00:00:11,557
Unearthly guardians, entrusted
4
00:00:11,804 --> 00:00:15,473
to both observe and protect.
5
00:00:15,508 --> 00:00:17,976
Powerful warriors, bringing
6
00:00:18,010 --> 00:00:23,214
about everything from plague to peace.
7
00:00:23,249 --> 00:00:25,216
But are angels merely the
8
00:00:25,251 --> 00:00:28,620
product of mankind's imagination...
9
00:00:28,654 --> 00:00:32,324
Or do they really exist?
10
00:00:32,358 --> 00:00:35,493
If so, where do they come from?
11
00:00:35,528 --> 00:00:38,797
When angels appear,
they begin to do things
12
00:00:38,831 --> 00:00:41,666
that defy our laws of physics.
13
00:00:41,701 --> 00:00:44,235
I don't think they actually had wings.
14
00:00:44,270 --> 00:00:45,470
It was ancient man's way of
15
00:00:45,504 --> 00:00:47,706
saying, they had the power of flight.
16
00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:49,240
Are angels really
17
00:00:49,275 --> 00:00:51,976
supernatural beings from heaven,
18
00:00:52,011 --> 00:00:53,011
or something more?
19
00:00:53,045 --> 00:00:56,548
It's essentially a misinterpreted
20
00:00:56,582 --> 00:00:58,717
flesh-and-blood extraterrestrial
21
00:00:58,751 --> 00:01:03,855
who visited earth a long, long time ago.
22
00:01:03,889 --> 00:01:05,023
Millions of people
23
00:01:05,057 --> 00:01:07,025
around the world believe we have
24
00:01:07,059 --> 00:01:08,393
been visited in the past by
25
00:01:08,427 --> 00:01:10,829
extraterrestrial beings.
26
00:01:11,593 --> 00:01:13,314
What if it was true?
27
00:01:14,361 --> 00:01:18,129
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?
28
00:01:19,288 --> 00:01:22,346
If so, might angels really be
29
00:01:22,481 --> 00:01:23,849
travelers visiting the earth
30
00:01:23,929 --> 00:01:26,345
from distant planets?

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000

Angels and Aliens
Original Air Date on December 09, 2010
32
00:02:04,777 --> 00:02:06,645
According to a Nielsen survey
33
00:02:06,679 --> 00:02:10,415
taken in 2010, nearly 70% of
34
00:02:10,483 --> 00:02:14,653
Americans believe in their existence.
35
00:02:14,687 --> 00:02:18,023
But what are they?
36
00:02:18,057 --> 00:02:19,958
Winged visitors from God,
37
00:02:19,993 --> 00:02:23,195
as depicted in the Bible?
38
00:02:23,229 --> 00:02:24,730
Smiling cherubs who peer down
39
00:02:24,797 --> 00:02:28,567
at us from billowing clouds?
40
00:02:28,635 --> 00:02:33,639
Or something much, much more?
41
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:36,175
The concept of angels is obviously
42
00:02:36,209 --> 00:02:39,378
very widespread, and certainly
43
00:02:39,412 --> 00:02:40,812
in American culture.
44
00:02:40,847 --> 00:02:47,186
And you find it in latin culture,
greek culture, babylonian culture.
45
00:02:47,220 --> 00:02:49,387
When we think of angels,
46
00:02:49,421 --> 00:02:51,489
we immediately think to the Bible,
47
00:02:51,523 --> 00:02:54,192
but when you go onto the Internet,
48
00:02:54,226 --> 00:02:55,560
when you read books,
49
00:02:55,594 --> 00:03:01,133
you will find that people have
visitations of angels every single day.
50
00:03:01,201 --> 00:03:05,170
In the hebrew Bible's Book of Genesis,
51
00:03:05,238 --> 00:03:07,372
angels first appear as divine beings
52
00:03:07,407 --> 00:03:11,376
sent to earth as messengers of God.
53
00:03:11,411 --> 00:03:12,811
They wanted to have
54
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:14,713
God interacting with the human
55
00:03:14,747 --> 00:03:16,448
beings, but it seemed somewhat
56
00:03:16,516 --> 00:03:19,651
undignified to have God directly
57
00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:22,821
operating, and so he sent messengers.
58
00:03:22,855 --> 00:03:27,593
The word angel is a mistranslation.
59
00:03:27,627 --> 00:03:33,198
In Hebrew, the word for angel is malach.
60
00:03:33,233 --> 00:03:36,201
However, the correct translation
61
00:03:36,236 --> 00:03:39,238
is not angel at all, but it is,
62
00:03:39,305 --> 00:03:41,039
in fact, "messenger".
63
00:03:41,074 --> 00:03:45,844
In greek, the word angelos is not angel.
64
00:03:45,878 --> 00:03:49,514
It is intermediary, middleman.
65
00:03:49,582 --> 00:03:52,751
And so what do we have in these stories?
66
00:03:52,785 --> 00:03:55,020
We have these intermediaries,
67
00:03:55,054 --> 00:03:57,055
these messengers, bringing
68
00:03:57,090 --> 00:04:00,559
information from quote, unquote God.
69
00:04:00,593 --> 00:04:02,394
By definition,
70
00:04:02,462 --> 00:04:06,365
angels are otherworldly.
71
00:04:06,432 --> 00:04:09,001
Angels are extraterrestrial.
72
00:04:09,068 --> 00:04:11,103
They're not from this planet.
73
00:04:11,170 --> 00:04:13,238
So really, by definition, ETs
74
00:04:13,273 --> 00:04:14,973
and angels are the same.
75
00:04:15,008 --> 00:04:19,077
Now our modern conception
of ETs have changed.
76
00:04:19,112 --> 00:04:21,513
But go back thousands and
77
00:04:21,547 --> 00:04:22,814
thousands of years when angels
78
00:04:22,882 --> 00:04:25,884
lived among our biblical ancestors.
79
00:04:25,918 --> 00:04:28,186
They didn't call them ETs.
80
00:04:28,221 --> 00:04:29,521
They called them angels, but
81
00:04:29,555 --> 00:04:31,556
they knew they were not of this
82
00:04:31,591 --> 00:04:35,060
world, not of this planet.
83
00:04:35,061 --> 00:04:42,167
But could some of these so-called messengers
of God have served another function?
84
00:04:42,201 --> 00:04:46,204
One not so benevolent or benign?
85
00:04:46,272 --> 00:04:48,573
According to the Book of Enoch,
86
00:04:48,608 --> 00:04:51,176
the so-called lost biblical text
87
00:04:51,210 --> 00:04:53,345
that was rediscovered among the
88
00:04:53,379 --> 00:04:55,613
dead sea scrolls in the late 1940s,
89
00:04:55,647 --> 00:05:01,554
the first angels to arrive
on earth were the fallen angels.
90
00:05:04,590 --> 00:05:06,757
It was on mount Hermon
91
00:05:06,792 --> 00:05:08,193
that angels came down
92
00:05:08,227 --> 00:05:10,095
from the heavens... fallen
93
00:05:10,129 --> 00:05:12,030
angels... to inhabit earth.
94
00:05:12,065 --> 00:05:15,567
They were trying to assume power.
95
00:05:15,601 --> 00:05:16,902
And because of that, they were
96
00:05:16,936 --> 00:05:20,472
cast out from heaven
and cast down to earth.
97
00:05:20,506 --> 00:05:25,043
Now to me, this sounds
more of a mutiny story
98
00:05:25,111 --> 00:05:27,479
where extraterrestrials arrived here,
99
00:05:27,513 --> 00:05:29,481
and there was a type of rift,
100
00:05:29,515 --> 00:05:34,486
and so, they split into
two different factions.
101
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,488
And the faction that split off
102
00:05:36,522 --> 00:05:39,091
is what today is referred to as
103
00:05:39,125 --> 00:05:42,327
the fallen angels.
104
00:05:42,328 --> 00:05:46,865
Enoch was a believer in angels,
105
00:05:46,933 --> 00:05:50,235
fallen angels, visitations,
106
00:05:50,303 --> 00:05:57,509
but everything he put in his
scriptures seemed to imply,
107
00:05:57,543 --> 00:06:03,148
to me, extraterrestrial visitation.
108
00:06:03,182 --> 00:06:06,051
From craft that he saw,
109
00:06:06,119 --> 00:06:08,587
to mountainsides that they would land,
110
00:06:08,654 --> 00:06:14,693
to them taking him around
and telling him things.
111
00:06:14,727 --> 00:06:16,961
Both in the Book of Enoch
112
00:06:16,995 --> 00:06:18,330
and in the Hebrew Bible,
113
00:06:18,398 --> 00:06:21,333
the fallen angels act in direct
114
00:06:21,367 --> 00:06:23,935
opposition to God's will by
115
00:06:23,970 --> 00:06:27,939
interbreeding with humans.
116
00:06:27,974 --> 00:06:30,142
In Genesis 6,
117
00:06:30,209 --> 00:06:33,311
it talks about the sons of gods...
118
00:06:33,346 --> 00:06:38,250
gods plural... mating with
the daughters of men.
119
00:06:38,317 --> 00:06:41,987
And there was a certain
evil connotation to it.
120
00:06:42,021 --> 00:06:45,323
How can angels have sex?
121
00:06:45,358 --> 00:06:47,993
Enoch describes of it.
122
00:06:48,027 --> 00:06:50,529
Some of the extraterrestrials
stood on earth.
123
00:06:50,596 --> 00:06:54,132
They had sex with some of our girls.
124
00:06:54,167 --> 00:06:57,002
That is what is written down in Enoch.
125
00:06:57,069 --> 00:06:58,870
It's not my invention.
126
00:06:58,905 --> 00:07:01,706
Enoch never calls them gods.
127
00:07:01,741 --> 00:07:08,346
He calls them guardian
of the skies, or watchmen.
128
00:07:08,347 --> 00:07:11,817
According to ancient texts,
the fallen angels
129
00:07:11,851 --> 00:07:13,452
not only physically mated with
130
00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:14,820
the women of earth,
131
00:07:14,854 --> 00:07:17,689
they produced offspring...
132
00:07:17,723 --> 00:07:20,725
the Nephilim, a race of giants,
133
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,461
similar to those portrayed in
134
00:07:22,528 --> 00:07:25,163
the story of David and Goliath.
135
00:07:25,198 --> 00:07:28,166
But ancient astronaut theorists
136
00:07:28,201 --> 00:07:30,168
suggest the use of the term
137
00:07:30,236 --> 00:07:32,270
giants is misleading.
138
00:07:32,305 --> 00:07:34,172
They theorize that the term
139
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,174
refers not to the Nephilim's
140
00:07:36,242 --> 00:07:38,610
physical size, but to their
141
00:07:38,644 --> 00:07:41,646
almost superhuman ability.
142
00:07:41,714 --> 00:07:43,915
Were they giants,
143
00:07:43,983 --> 00:07:46,718
or is that the wrong word,
144
00:07:46,752 --> 00:07:48,386
and the correct word should be
145
00:07:48,454 --> 00:07:51,523
extraterrestrial?
146
00:07:51,557 --> 00:07:54,025
Because then, in my opinion,
147
00:07:54,093 --> 00:07:56,194
it makes more sense, because so far,
148
00:07:56,229 --> 00:07:59,364
I have not seen an original
149
00:07:59,432 --> 00:08:04,302
fossil of a giant bone.
150
00:08:04,337 --> 00:08:06,371
But if, as many
151
00:08:06,439 --> 00:08:07,639
ancient astronaut theorists
152
00:08:07,673 --> 00:08:10,208
believe, fallen angels were
153
00:08:10,276 --> 00:08:11,910
really extraterrestrials that
154
00:08:11,944 --> 00:08:12,944
first arrived in the middle east,
155
00:08:12,979 --> 00:08:15,080
wouldn't they have also
156
00:08:15,114 --> 00:08:19,084
appeared elsewhere in the world?
157
00:08:19,118 --> 00:08:21,820
For proof, researchers point to
158
00:08:21,854 --> 00:08:23,655
thousands of carvings and other
159
00:08:23,689 --> 00:08:25,657
depictions of winged guardians,
160
00:08:25,691 --> 00:08:29,127
strange creatures and other
161
00:08:29,161 --> 00:08:30,762
half-man and half-beasts that
162
00:08:30,796 --> 00:08:32,931
commonly appear on ancient
163
00:08:32,999 --> 00:08:35,433
walls and artifacts.
164
00:08:35,434 --> 00:08:36,835
There is such an
165
00:08:36,869 --> 00:08:38,570
enormous amount of evidence to
166
00:08:38,604 --> 00:08:40,672
suggest that angels are not
167
00:08:40,706 --> 00:08:41,773
something which christianity
168
00:08:41,841 --> 00:08:43,275
invented, but that they were
169
00:08:43,309 --> 00:08:44,676
somehow physically present in
170
00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:46,144
all civilizations.
171
00:08:47,146 --> 00:08:49,414
Ancient cultures that depicted
172
00:08:49,482 --> 00:08:51,283
the gods as winged creatures are
173
00:08:51,317 --> 00:08:55,120
the sumerians, the babylonians,
174
00:08:55,187 --> 00:08:57,756
certainly the egyptians.
175
00:08:57,790 --> 00:09:02,193
All of these civilizations had
176
00:09:02,228 --> 00:09:03,762
symbols where there may have
177
00:09:03,829 --> 00:09:05,697
been a winged disc, or there
178
00:09:05,731 --> 00:09:07,399
may have been what we would call
179
00:09:07,466 --> 00:09:09,968
today probably a UFO.
180
00:09:10,002 --> 00:09:12,137
I believe they were just letting
181
00:09:12,171 --> 00:09:16,508
us know that these beings flew.
182
00:09:19,145 --> 00:09:22,514
In the middle east in particular,
183
00:09:22,582 --> 00:09:24,783
there were depictions of supernatural
184
00:09:24,817 --> 00:09:28,520
beings with wings... the demons
185
00:09:28,588 --> 00:09:32,691
of Mesopotamia; Pazuzu, which
186
00:09:32,758 --> 00:09:34,259
had the head of a lion and the
187
00:09:34,327 --> 00:09:38,330
body of a human and the wings of a locust.
188
00:09:38,364 --> 00:09:41,800
They were primarily soldiers of
189
00:09:41,867 --> 00:09:46,237
the higher gods, servants of the higher gods.
190
00:09:46,272 --> 00:09:50,709
The higher gods depended on these messengers.
191
00:09:50,776 --> 00:09:52,344
They would run back and forth
192
00:09:52,411 --> 00:09:56,081
and gather information.
193
00:09:56,115 --> 00:10:00,218
The Bible may be the most thoroughly
194
00:10:00,252 --> 00:10:02,520
documented account of
195
00:10:02,555 --> 00:10:05,890
extraterrestrial contact ever in
196
00:10:05,925 --> 00:10:08,393
written history here on earth.
197
00:10:08,394 --> 00:10:10,595
We just simply have not learned
198
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:12,864
how to interpret and how to
199
00:10:12,898 --> 00:10:15,533
identify the clear and obvious
200
00:10:15,601 --> 00:10:19,504
evidence that the Seraphim,
201
00:10:19,538 --> 00:10:22,841
the Cherubim, the archangels,
202
00:10:22,875 --> 00:10:25,310
the angels, all of these different
203
00:10:25,344 --> 00:10:27,145
hierarchies of beings described
204
00:10:27,179 --> 00:10:28,880
in the old and the new testament
205
00:10:28,948 --> 00:10:31,216
literally do refer to visitors
206
00:10:31,250 --> 00:10:33,151
who come here.
207
00:10:33,219 --> 00:10:38,223
Use the word "extraterrestrials"
instead of the word of "angel".
208
00:10:38,257 --> 00:10:39,895
Use a word of, uh,
209
00:10:39,925 --> 00:10:43,060
"leader of extraterrestrials"
instead of "archangel".
210
00:10:44,196 --> 00:10:45,730
If you change few words in the
211
00:10:45,765 --> 00:10:48,466
old texts... a few key words...
212
00:10:48,501 --> 00:10:51,870
you change the sense of the old texts.
213
00:10:51,871 --> 00:10:53,738
It's all not coincidence.
214
00:10:53,773 --> 00:10:55,573
It was on purpose.
215
00:10:55,608 --> 00:10:57,475
It's time to wake up to see
216
00:10:57,510 --> 00:11:00,645
these things with modern eyes.
217
00:11:02,548 --> 00:11:06,551
But if, as ancient
astronaut theorists maintain,
218
00:11:06,585 --> 00:11:08,453
angels are not ethereal winged
219
00:11:08,521 --> 00:11:10,722
beings but actually flesh and
220
00:11:10,756 --> 00:11:12,724
blood creatures visiting us from
221
00:11:12,758 --> 00:11:16,690
other planets, why are they here?
222
00:11:17,758 --> 00:11:22,990
And if they are messengers,
just who, or what, do they represent?
223
00:11:28,495 --> 00:11:32,098
Mount Sodom, Israel.
224
00:11:36,103 --> 00:11:38,104
A pillar of rock salt known as
225
00:11:38,138 --> 00:11:39,939
Lot's wife overlooks the
226
00:11:40,007 --> 00:11:41,440
southwestern part of the dead sea,
227
00:11:41,475 --> 00:11:45,444
near the presumed location
228
00:11:45,479 --> 00:11:49,749
of the biblical cities
of Sodom and Gomorrah.
229
00:11:49,783 --> 00:11:54,487
In both the Hebrew book of
Genesis and the islamic Koran,
230
00:11:54,555 --> 00:11:56,088
angels traveled to this spot to
231
00:11:56,123 --> 00:11:58,491
warn Abraham's nephew Lot that
232
00:11:58,525 --> 00:12:04,297
God was about to unleash
terror upon the world.
233
00:12:04,298 --> 00:12:08,100
And the angel finally says to Lot,
234
00:12:08,135 --> 00:12:09,936
"if you don't come now with your
235
00:12:09,970 --> 00:12:11,671
family... two girls and the
236
00:12:11,738 --> 00:12:15,041
wife... I cannot help you "anymore".
237
00:12:15,042 --> 00:12:17,410
It looks as if a countdown was
238
00:12:17,477 --> 00:12:18,945
working which could not be
239
00:12:19,012 --> 00:12:20,746
stopped anymore, if even the
240
00:12:20,781 --> 00:12:23,849
angel cannot stop it.
241
00:12:33,193 --> 00:12:37,029
Sure enough, they walk
away and there is this
242
00:12:37,064 --> 00:12:39,332
mayhem and destruction.
243
00:12:39,366 --> 00:12:41,033
His wife turns around and she
244
00:12:41,101 --> 00:12:44,770
turns into a pillar of salt.
245
00:12:48,942 --> 00:12:50,876
Since the ancient astronaut
246
00:12:50,944 --> 00:12:54,380
theory proposes that angels were
247
00:12:54,414 --> 00:12:57,316
nothing else but misinterpreted
248
00:12:57,351 --> 00:13:00,317
flesh and blood extraterrestrials,
249
00:13:00,352 --> 00:13:09,795
this means that extraterrestrials
did side with certain people.
250
00:13:09,796 --> 00:13:11,230
Were angels,
251
00:13:11,298 --> 00:13:14,066
or extraterrestrials, interfering
252
00:13:14,134 --> 00:13:17,403
with human development?
253
00:13:18,939 --> 00:13:20,973
But if angels saved
254
00:13:21,041 --> 00:13:22,408
Lot and his family from the
255
00:13:22,442 --> 00:13:25,344
wrath of God, is this proof that
256
00:13:25,412 --> 00:13:27,213
angels are more than just
257
00:13:27,247 --> 00:13:30,449
otherworldly messengers?
258
00:13:35,455 --> 00:13:37,423
Might they be more actively
259
00:13:37,491 --> 00:13:39,225
engaged in helping their human
260
00:13:39,259 --> 00:13:42,228
counterparts, even to the extent
261
00:13:42,262 --> 00:13:43,429
that they might still be
262
00:13:43,497 --> 00:13:47,900
affecting the outcome of human history?
263
00:13:47,934 --> 00:13:49,969
Once again, ancient astronaut
264
00:13:50,003 --> 00:13:51,804
theorists look to the book of
265
00:13:51,838 --> 00:13:54,540
enoch for their answer and claim
266
00:13:54,608 --> 00:13:56,142
to have found evidence in its
267
00:13:56,176 --> 00:13:58,077
references to a race of fallen
268
00:13:58,111 --> 00:14:01,580
angels known as watchers.
269
00:14:01,615 --> 00:14:05,117
There is much debate amongst religious
270
00:14:05,152 --> 00:14:10,656
scholars about the fallen angels.
271
00:14:22,336 --> 00:14:24,303
And some say they were
272
00:14:24,338 --> 00:14:30,309
deliberately sent here to watch over man.
273
00:14:30,344 --> 00:14:31,644
And in the Book of Enoch
274
00:14:31,678 --> 00:14:35,147
specifically, we have 20
275
00:14:35,182 --> 00:14:36,849
watchers which are sort of in
276
00:14:36,917 --> 00:14:39,452
charge of all the other angels
277
00:14:39,486 --> 00:14:42,922
that are in Enoch's presence.
278
00:14:42,956 --> 00:14:44,156
You have the commanders and the
279
00:14:44,191 --> 00:14:47,059
officers and the lieutenants,
280
00:14:47,094 --> 00:14:51,697
and those 20 deliberately teach
281
00:14:51,732 --> 00:14:54,333
enoch in various disciplines,
282
00:14:54,368 --> 00:14:57,770
such as meteorology, astronomy,
283
00:14:57,838 --> 00:14:59,972
how to make better swords.
284
00:15:00,006 --> 00:15:01,874
Now, would something like this
285
00:15:01,942 --> 00:15:04,777
really happen in the kingdom of God?
286
00:15:04,845 --> 00:15:07,246
I think the answer is clear.
287
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,249
Where did they come from?
288
00:15:10,283 --> 00:15:12,585
What do they want?
289
00:15:12,586 --> 00:15:14,220
And if we're dealing with one or
290
00:15:14,254 --> 00:15:16,522
more intelligences... that maybe
291
00:15:16,590 --> 00:15:18,791
they have different agendas,
292
00:15:18,859 --> 00:15:20,092
but maybe there is something out
293
00:15:20,127 --> 00:15:22,828
there that has been an ally to
294
00:15:22,863 --> 00:15:28,834
evolving hominids, and
we're the latest model.
295
00:15:33,940 --> 00:15:35,775
In the Bible,
296
00:15:35,842 --> 00:15:38,110
angels often appear to humans as
297
00:15:38,178 --> 00:15:39,945
physical entities that can be
298
00:15:39,980 --> 00:15:44,316
seen, heard, and even touched.
299
00:15:45,318 --> 00:15:47,386
But today many people believe
300
00:15:47,421 --> 00:15:49,488
angels are present whether they
301
00:15:49,523 --> 00:15:53,926
can see them or not.
302
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,929
According to a 2008 survey by
303
00:15:56,963 --> 00:15:58,597
baylor university's institute
304
00:15:58,665 --> 00:16:01,934
for studies of religion, 55% of
305
00:16:01,968 --> 00:16:04,570
all American adults believe a
306
00:16:04,604 --> 00:16:07,540
guardian angel protects them.
307
00:16:07,541 --> 00:16:10,943
The popularity of
guardian angels in modern
308
00:16:10,977 --> 00:16:13,312
culture I think has to do with
309
00:16:13,380 --> 00:16:15,247
the idea that we want some kind
310
00:16:15,282 --> 00:16:16,749
of supernatural protection in a
311
00:16:16,783 --> 00:16:18,517
world where we don't really feel
312
00:16:18,552 --> 00:16:22,321
very safe oftentimes.
313
00:16:22,322 --> 00:16:23,956
The islamic faith
314
00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:25,858
teaches that every human being
315
00:16:25,892 --> 00:16:28,160
has not one but two guardian
316
00:16:28,195 --> 00:16:32,431
angels, one for each shoulder.
317
00:16:32,499 --> 00:16:33,966
These celestial beings are
318
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,769
called writing angels because
319
00:16:36,803 --> 00:16:37,970
they write down the good deeds
320
00:16:38,004 --> 00:16:42,308
and the bad deeds in each person's life.
321
00:16:45,512 --> 00:16:47,446
The first so-called guardian
322
00:16:47,514 --> 00:16:49,148
angel to appear in judeo
323
00:16:49,216 --> 00:16:51,350
Christian texts is the angel
324
00:16:51,418 --> 00:16:53,452
Raphael, who was featured in the
325
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:54,487
book of Tobit, written sometime
326
00:16:54,521 --> 00:16:57,189
between the eighth
and second century B.C.
327
00:16:57,190 --> 00:17:00,626
Tobit is off on a very difficult mission.
328
00:17:00,660 --> 00:17:01,994
He's going to go to Persia to
329
00:17:02,062 --> 00:17:04,230
find a wife, and he runs into
330
00:17:04,264 --> 00:17:05,498
all sorts of problems on the
331
00:17:05,532 --> 00:17:08,634
way, so God sends the angel
332
00:17:08,668 --> 00:17:10,169
Raphael, and now we have the
333
00:17:10,203 --> 00:17:12,371
angel not just as a messenger from God.
334
00:17:12,405 --> 00:17:14,406
He becomes a guardian angel,
335
00:17:14,474 --> 00:17:17,144
he becomes a special protector.
336
00:17:20,712 --> 00:17:22,981
The idea of guardian angel, is it just
337
00:17:23,016 --> 00:17:24,950
because we wish it, we believe it,
338
00:17:24,984 --> 00:17:26,118
that somebody's protecting us,
339
00:17:26,152 --> 00:17:28,520
or does it come from the past?
340
00:17:28,554 --> 00:17:29,788
Has it to do maybe something
341
00:17:29,856 --> 00:17:31,056
with extraterrestrials?
342
00:17:31,124 --> 00:17:32,791
In the sense that some
343
00:17:32,825 --> 00:17:34,960
extraterrestrials said to some human,
344
00:17:34,994 --> 00:17:38,797
"We protect you. Don't be afraid."
345
00:17:39,331 --> 00:17:41,766
What is the guardian
angel guarding us from?
346
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,835
Why is that guardian
angel protecting us?
347
00:17:43,903 --> 00:17:45,837
And is there more than one?
348
00:17:45,905 --> 00:17:48,006
The short answer to that
is absolutely, yes.
349
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,040
He's guarding us from what?
350
00:17:49,074 --> 00:17:51,042
The fallen angels.
351
00:17:53,012 --> 00:17:54,178
In judeo-christian,
352
00:17:54,213 --> 00:17:55,947
and islamic tradition, there
353
00:17:55,981 --> 00:17:57,282
was an idea that there will be
354
00:17:57,316 --> 00:17:59,484
some kind of final warfare when
355
00:17:59,518 --> 00:18:03,555
God defeats Satan, once and for all.
356
00:18:03,622 --> 00:18:06,424
That's been interpreted,
357
00:18:06,458 --> 00:18:08,092
by some people, to say that,
358
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,627
the aliens will come back;
359
00:18:09,662 --> 00:18:12,730
They will fight it out
again, one final time.
360
00:18:12,798 --> 00:18:14,098
Both the book of
361
00:18:14,133 --> 00:18:15,934
Enoch and the New Testament
362
00:18:16,001 --> 00:18:18,469
Book of Revelation refers to a
363
00:18:18,504 --> 00:18:22,574
final cosmic battle of good versus evil.
364
00:18:37,556 --> 00:18:39,824
Other biblical stories include
365
00:18:39,892 --> 00:18:42,093
accounts of angels wielding
366
00:18:42,161 --> 00:18:44,095
extraordinary powers.
367
00:18:45,898 --> 00:18:48,865
Angels who are not just guardians,
368
00:18:48,933 --> 00:18:53,705
but who intervene in human affairs.
369
00:18:53,772 --> 00:18:57,108
But who are these celestial warriors?
370
00:18:57,142 --> 00:18:59,243
The New Testament's Acts of the
371
00:18:59,311 --> 00:19:01,846
Apostles tells of one such
372
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,248
story, that of Saint Peter, who
373
00:19:04,316 --> 00:19:06,417
was imprisoned in Jerusalem by
374
00:19:06,485 --> 00:19:09,120
King herod in 34 A.D.
375
00:19:09,154 --> 00:19:12,323
Peter is asleep between two soldiers.
376
00:19:12,358 --> 00:19:16,327
So the angel walks through the wall.
377
00:19:16,328 --> 00:19:17,595
He's a physical being because
378
00:19:17,630 --> 00:19:19,330
he touches Peter, tells Peter
379
00:19:19,365 --> 00:19:22,567
to wake up, come with me.
380
00:19:22,568 --> 00:19:25,436
He unshackles Peter, and he
381
00:19:25,504 --> 00:19:27,438
says to Peter, "follow me".
382
00:19:32,010 --> 00:19:33,977
The prison cell opens,
383
00:19:34,012 --> 00:19:35,879
Peter walks out, and the
384
00:19:35,913 --> 00:19:37,148
first thing he notices,
385
00:19:37,182 --> 00:19:39,150
all the guards are asleep.
386
00:19:41,487 --> 00:19:43,154
They get out to the courtyard,
387
00:19:43,222 --> 00:19:44,789
this huge prison gate opens by
388
00:19:44,823 --> 00:19:47,191
itself and Peter walks out and he's free.
389
00:19:47,226 --> 00:19:49,060
Angel walks with him a little bit longer...
390
00:19:49,094 --> 00:19:49,929
He's gone.
391
00:19:52,430 --> 00:19:58,402
Is the freeing of Saint Peter
an alien encounter story?
392
00:19:58,436 --> 00:20:01,305
Or is it a true story of
393
00:20:01,339 --> 00:20:02,873
heavenly angels commanding
394
00:20:02,908 --> 00:20:05,676
otherworldly powers?
395
00:20:05,744 --> 00:20:07,578
A lot of the times
396
00:20:07,612 --> 00:20:08,846
modern contactees say,
397
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,516
"well, these beings have
come to me in my dreams.
398
00:20:12,551 --> 00:20:14,652
They can come through my walls.
399
00:20:14,686 --> 00:20:16,787
All my doors are locked, my
400
00:20:16,855 --> 00:20:18,422
windows are shut, and all of a
401
00:20:18,456 --> 00:20:19,757
sudden, I open my eyes and there
402
00:20:19,791 --> 00:20:22,560
is a being there."
403
00:20:22,561 --> 00:20:25,196
Some might say these
404
00:20:25,230 --> 00:20:29,200
accounts of visitations by
405
00:20:29,234 --> 00:20:31,502
angels are a result of
406
00:20:31,536 --> 00:20:35,072
imagination or projection,
407
00:20:35,106 --> 00:20:38,409
but I take them as actual historical
408
00:20:38,476 --> 00:20:41,779
accounts because they're
presented that way.
409
00:20:46,718 --> 00:20:48,851
If we look at the case of religion,
410
00:20:48,886 --> 00:20:51,422
we can see clear evidence of
411
00:20:51,489 --> 00:20:53,224
extraterrestrial human visitors
412
00:20:53,258 --> 00:20:54,692
who have come here and have
413
00:20:54,759 --> 00:20:56,760
tried to help improve conditions
414
00:20:56,795 --> 00:20:58,796
in our civilization.
415
00:20:58,797 --> 00:21:00,431
And they have been consistently
416
00:21:00,498 --> 00:21:02,066
trying to help the earth along,
417
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:04,034
which may, in fact, be leading
418
00:21:04,069 --> 00:21:05,869
up to a galactic family reunion,
419
00:21:05,904 --> 00:21:07,438
where after a certain point
420
00:21:07,505 --> 00:21:09,240
when we're ready, they no
421
00:21:09,274 --> 00:21:10,874
longer have to follow the prime
422
00:21:10,909 --> 00:21:12,910
directive, if you will, and can
423
00:21:12,944 --> 00:21:15,879
again show themselves to us.
424
00:21:18,016 --> 00:21:19,250
But whether angels are,
425
00:21:19,284 --> 00:21:23,087
in fact, supernatural or
426
00:21:23,121 --> 00:21:25,990
extraterrestrial beings,
427
00:21:26,024 --> 00:21:28,359
artists have nearly always
428
00:21:28,426 --> 00:21:29,994
depicted them as having large,
429
00:21:30,028 --> 00:21:32,630
almost bird-like wings.
430
00:21:32,664 --> 00:21:36,066
But where does this notion come from?
431
00:21:36,101 --> 00:21:38,335
From ancient texts?
432
00:21:38,370 --> 00:21:42,740
Or from a more mysterious source?
433
00:21:42,774 --> 00:21:46,076
A source, not from the heavens,
434
00:21:46,111 --> 00:21:47,911
but from places thousands of
435
00:21:47,979 --> 00:21:50,914
light-years away?
436
00:22:01,796 --> 00:22:03,897
Rome, Italy.
437
00:22:03,931 --> 00:22:06,166
Stored in the treasury of Saint
438
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,169
Peter's basilica in the Vatican
439
00:22:09,203 --> 00:22:13,840
is the sarcophagus of Junius Bassus.
440
00:22:13,874 --> 00:22:16,810
Constructed in 359 A.D.,
441
00:22:16,844 --> 00:22:18,912
the sarcophagus features what some
442
00:22:18,946 --> 00:22:20,547
believe to be the earliest
443
00:22:20,581 --> 00:22:22,549
known depiction of winged
444
00:22:22,617 --> 00:22:27,354
angels in all of christianity.
445
00:22:27,388 --> 00:22:29,256
In the centuries that followed,
446
00:22:29,290 --> 00:22:30,824
angels were almost always
447
00:22:30,858 --> 00:22:33,260
depicted as having wings.
448
00:22:33,294 --> 00:22:36,296
But why?
449
00:22:36,364 --> 00:22:38,265
Especially since the actual
450
00:22:38,299 --> 00:22:40,567
biblical texts rarely describe
451
00:22:40,668 --> 00:22:44,404
angels as having bird-like appendages?
452
00:22:44,472 --> 00:22:46,373
The vast majority
453
00:22:46,407 --> 00:22:47,574
of the stories in the old
454
00:22:47,675 --> 00:22:49,676
testament, angels aren't
455
00:22:49,710 --> 00:22:51,544
described as having wings at all.
456
00:22:51,579 --> 00:22:53,647
Some of them, they look human.
457
00:22:53,648 --> 00:22:55,582
When the angel comes to visit
458
00:22:55,683 --> 00:22:59,452
Abraham, this angel does not have wings.
459
00:22:59,487 --> 00:23:00,453
He looks like a man.
460
00:23:00,488 --> 00:23:02,956
Abraham bows to him, which is interesting.
461
00:23:03,024 --> 00:23:04,958
How did Abraham know?
462
00:23:04,992 --> 00:23:07,460
If he looks like a human being,
463
00:23:07,495 --> 00:23:09,462
what was it that gave Abraham
464
00:23:09,497 --> 00:23:12,032
the clue to run over and bow down to him?
465
00:23:12,099 --> 00:23:13,600
And so there's a supernatural
466
00:23:13,668 --> 00:23:15,302
quality, there's a superhuman
467
00:23:15,336 --> 00:23:17,470
quality that they acknowledge.
468
00:23:17,505 --> 00:23:19,239
That this was a person who was
469
00:23:19,273 --> 00:23:24,611
a little more than human.
470
00:23:24,679 --> 00:23:27,881
The concept of the angel as such comes
471
00:23:27,915 --> 00:23:31,051
directly out of the graeco-roman tradition.
472
00:23:31,118 --> 00:23:32,619
Stories of Hermes and Iris kind
473
00:23:32,687 --> 00:23:33,653
of coming down and giving
474
00:23:33,688 --> 00:23:36,790
messages, envisioning them as
475
00:23:36,857 --> 00:23:39,926
beings like human beings, kind
476
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,396
of looking like human beings
477
00:23:43,397 --> 00:23:44,798
there are plenty of other
478
00:23:44,865 --> 00:23:46,232
beings which have these
479
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:47,667
beautiful wings, these kind of
480
00:23:47,702 --> 00:23:49,502
forms and shapes.
481
00:23:49,570 --> 00:23:50,970
But all of these beings,
482
00:23:51,072 --> 00:23:53,073
however they're conceived of,
483
00:23:53,140 --> 00:23:55,775
are a way of telling us that we
484
00:23:55,810 --> 00:23:58,144
have a hard time understanding
485
00:23:58,212 --> 00:24:00,347
what it is that separates us
486
00:24:00,414 --> 00:24:02,248
from them, from the gods.
487
00:24:02,316 --> 00:24:04,718
They have to be these kind of
488
00:24:04,785 --> 00:24:08,054
weird beings who have wings.
489
00:24:08,089 --> 00:24:09,856
Angels show up in
490
00:24:09,890 --> 00:24:11,991
various cultures as probably
491
00:24:12,059 --> 00:24:14,060
misidentified technology.
492
00:24:14,061 --> 00:24:15,161
If they saw someone... a human
493
00:24:15,229 --> 00:24:16,996
being or a humanoid... flying in
494
00:24:17,064 --> 00:24:18,531
the skies, they could only give
495
00:24:18,599 --> 00:24:21,267
it a natural review, giving it wings.
496
00:24:21,335 --> 00:24:23,870
I don't think they actually had wings.
497
00:24:23,904 --> 00:24:25,271
It was ancient man's way of
498
00:24:25,339 --> 00:24:28,641
saying they had the power of flight.
499
00:24:28,642 --> 00:24:30,543
The angels that have
500
00:24:30,578 --> 00:24:31,878
wings that we're used to seeing
501
00:24:31,912 --> 00:24:33,613
depicted in pictures of the
502
00:24:33,647 --> 00:24:34,981
Bible and what have you,
503
00:24:35,015 --> 00:24:37,083
basically the wings say these
504
00:24:37,151 --> 00:24:38,885
beings can fly.
505
00:24:38,919 --> 00:24:41,821
So we believe in angels, and
506
00:24:41,856 --> 00:24:43,923
the native Americans talk about
507
00:24:43,991 --> 00:24:46,960
the star people, the Egyptians
508
00:24:46,994 --> 00:24:48,962
talk about the gods coming to
509
00:24:48,996 --> 00:24:50,964
and from the earth.
510
00:24:52,099 --> 00:24:53,900
So I believe this is the basis,
511
00:24:53,968 --> 00:24:55,468
this is the template for the
512
00:24:55,503 --> 00:24:57,337
civilizations of the Earth's
513
00:24:57,371 --> 00:24:59,072
religious practices.
514
00:24:59,106 --> 00:25:01,074
I-I believe that.
515
00:25:04,378 --> 00:25:05,645
For centuries,
516
00:25:05,713 --> 00:25:07,380
religious tradition has
517
00:25:07,448 --> 00:25:08,748
perpetuated the notion of
518
00:25:08,783 --> 00:25:10,917
bird-like wings to explain an
519
00:25:10,951 --> 00:25:13,086
angel's mode of travel.
520
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:15,021
But is such a concept even
521
00:25:15,055 --> 00:25:18,658
scientifically plausible?
522
00:25:18,692 --> 00:25:21,394
In 2009, a study at university
523
00:25:21,462 --> 00:25:24,030
college, London compared
524
00:25:24,064 --> 00:25:25,665
classic depictions of winged
525
00:25:25,733 --> 00:25:30,470
angels with actual bird physiology.
526
00:25:30,538 --> 00:25:34,374
You have to be able to
flap down and flap up.
527
00:25:34,408 --> 00:25:35,442
And you really need a separate
528
00:25:35,476 --> 00:25:37,477
muscle to do each of these.
529
00:25:37,478 --> 00:25:41,014
On the way down,
you're generating the lift.
530
00:25:41,081 --> 00:25:41,948
And you actually, you have to
531
00:25:42,016 --> 00:25:43,850
rotate the wing slightly and get
532
00:25:43,884 --> 00:25:45,218
a different angle as you come
533
00:25:45,252 --> 00:25:48,455
up, and then they actually
534
00:25:48,489 --> 00:25:49,856
generate their thrust.
535
00:25:49,857 --> 00:25:50,924
Otherwise if you just went up
536
00:25:51,025 --> 00:25:52,459
and down in the same straight
537
00:25:52,493 --> 00:25:54,227
pattern, you'd be making lift
538
00:25:54,261 --> 00:25:55,929
one way, but when you went back
539
00:25:56,030 --> 00:25:56,863
the other way, you'd just push
540
00:25:56,897 --> 00:25:58,398
yourself back down.
541
00:25:58,432 --> 00:26:00,633
So when you look at the classic
542
00:26:00,668 --> 00:26:03,470
pictures of angels, the wings
543
00:26:03,504 --> 00:26:05,405
are centered on their back.
544
00:26:05,439 --> 00:26:07,774
Very close together.
545
00:26:07,842 --> 00:26:08,775
Whereas the birds with the
546
00:26:08,843 --> 00:26:10,410
wings on the side can have
547
00:26:10,444 --> 00:26:12,212
longer muscles with the great
548
00:26:12,279 --> 00:26:13,680
strength that go into moving
549
00:26:13,747 --> 00:26:14,781
them up and down.
550
00:26:14,849 --> 00:26:15,748
With the wings on the back,
551
00:26:15,783 --> 00:26:16,950
they're gonna look like they're
552
00:26:17,017 --> 00:26:21,488
gonna flap more like this
than up and down.
553
00:26:21,555 --> 00:26:25,325
Researchers also concluded that angels,
554
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,126
given their humanoid interpretation,
555
00:26:27,228 --> 00:26:30,663
would be simply too heavy for flight.
556
00:26:30,698 --> 00:26:32,665
We're not designed aerodynamically.
557
00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:34,667
And we're quite heavy.
558
00:26:34,702 --> 00:26:37,837
I mean, we're solid bone, solid muscle.
559
00:26:37,872 --> 00:26:41,508
So those two features you have to overcome.
560
00:26:43,043 --> 00:26:44,744
But if angels could
561
00:26:44,778 --> 00:26:46,246
not have possessed actual wings,
562
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,780
how would they have managed to
563
00:26:47,815 --> 00:26:51,417
travel to and from the heavens?
564
00:26:54,988 --> 00:26:58,057
Angels were never described
to fly around like superman,
565
00:26:58,091 --> 00:27:00,159
but they sort of had
566
00:27:00,193 --> 00:27:02,528
a vertical ascent into the sky,
567
00:27:02,596 --> 00:27:04,330
or when they descended,
568
00:27:04,364 --> 00:27:05,798
it was a vertical descent.
569
00:27:05,866 --> 00:27:08,367
How was that possible?
570
00:27:08,368 --> 00:27:13,805
In 1953, Bell Aerosystems
developed the rocket belt,
571
00:27:13,873 --> 00:27:18,711
the precursor to today's
workable jet pack.
572
00:27:18,779 --> 00:27:20,780
Designed to lift individuals
573
00:27:20,814 --> 00:27:22,348
vertically into the air and
574
00:27:22,382 --> 00:27:25,184
glide them across the skies,
575
00:27:25,218 --> 00:27:26,986
today's jet packs can reach
576
00:27:27,087 --> 00:27:29,555
altitudes of over 8,000 feet
577
00:27:29,589 --> 00:27:32,525
and travel at speeds of up to
578
00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:34,527
60 Miles per hour.
579
00:27:37,264 --> 00:27:38,531
If you look at a modern jet pack,
580
00:27:38,565 --> 00:27:42,968
humans are ascending and descending
581
00:27:43,003 --> 00:27:45,838
in a vertical position.
582
00:27:45,906 --> 00:27:49,108
Now imagine if that picture was
583
00:27:49,142 --> 00:27:51,277
shown to our ancestors.
584
00:27:51,344 --> 00:27:54,747
How would they react?
585
00:27:54,815 --> 00:27:58,117
Obviously, they will say,
586
00:27:58,151 --> 00:28:01,654
"wow, this creature must be divine.
587
00:28:01,688 --> 00:28:03,989
This creature must be some type
588
00:28:04,024 --> 00:28:06,392
of a god because they've got
589
00:28:06,460 --> 00:28:08,761
the capability of flight.
590
00:28:08,829 --> 00:28:12,198
They're like birds.
591
00:28:12,299 --> 00:28:16,368
Not even the sky is the limit "to them".
592
00:28:16,470 --> 00:28:17,903
But could a device
593
00:28:17,938 --> 00:28:19,839
similar to modern day jet packs
594
00:28:19,873 --> 00:28:22,208
really explain how biblical
595
00:28:22,309 --> 00:28:24,043
angels were capable of
596
00:28:24,111 --> 00:28:27,379
ascending bodily into the heavens?
597
00:28:27,481 --> 00:28:29,081
Could they have had other
598
00:28:29,116 --> 00:28:31,383
methods of flight unfamiliar
599
00:28:31,485 --> 00:28:33,385
to our ancient ancestors?
600
00:28:33,453 --> 00:28:38,224
Ezekiel talks about a flying chariot.
601
00:28:38,291 --> 00:28:39,492
Ancient hebrews talk about the
602
00:28:39,559 --> 00:28:41,093
pillar of cloud by day, and
603
00:28:41,128 --> 00:28:43,195
the pillar of fire by night.
604
00:28:43,196 --> 00:28:45,131
So, clearly, these are physical
605
00:28:45,198 --> 00:28:50,569
machines that the angels are using.
606
00:28:50,670 --> 00:28:52,671
The story of Jacob and the
607
00:28:52,739 --> 00:28:55,241
angel in Genesis 28 is a
608
00:28:55,308 --> 00:28:58,410
classic UFO scenario.
609
00:28:58,512 --> 00:29:00,946
Jacob falls asleep, and in this
610
00:29:00,981 --> 00:29:04,416
dream, he dreams that there's
611
00:29:04,484 --> 00:29:06,285
angels going up and down a ladder,
612
00:29:06,319 --> 00:29:09,588
and this ladder comes from heaven.
613
00:29:09,689 --> 00:29:11,123
If you look at,
614
00:29:11,158 --> 00:29:13,792
let's say, a spaceship, and it
615
00:29:13,860 --> 00:29:15,227
opens its door, and there's a
616
00:29:15,262 --> 00:29:16,562
ramp coming out.
617
00:29:16,596 --> 00:29:18,597
I mean, that almost looks like a ladder.
618
00:29:18,665 --> 00:29:21,600
So it is possible that what is
619
00:29:21,668 --> 00:29:24,703
described there is nothing else
620
00:29:24,738 --> 00:29:28,474
but a technological event that
621
00:29:28,508 --> 00:29:32,077
was described as a ladder.
622
00:29:32,078 --> 00:29:33,879
Did our ancestors
623
00:29:33,947 --> 00:29:36,615
try to explain an ancient alien
624
00:29:36,683 --> 00:29:38,884
technology by suggesting that
625
00:29:38,919 --> 00:29:41,787
extraterrestrial visitors were
626
00:29:41,888 --> 00:29:46,158
heavenly visitors with bird-like wings?
627
00:29:46,193 --> 00:29:49,395
If the answer is "yes",
628
00:29:49,429 --> 00:29:51,897
the implications are both profound
629
00:29:51,965 --> 00:29:55,634
and potentially disturbing.
630
00:29:55,702 --> 00:29:58,070
For if angels are actual
631
00:29:58,138 --> 00:29:59,905
visitors from other worlds,
632
00:29:59,973 --> 00:30:02,508
then what is their mission?
633
00:30:02,542 --> 00:30:05,678
Are they simply watching us?
634
00:30:05,712 --> 00:30:09,081
Or is there, perhaps,
635
00:30:09,149 --> 00:30:11,083
a more sinister purpose?
636
00:30:15,914 --> 00:30:21,052
Temple Mount, Old City, Jerusalem.
637
00:30:21,119 --> 00:30:23,521
It was here that many biblical
638
00:30:23,588 --> 00:30:25,623
stories reportedly occurred,
639
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:28,125
including the binding of Isaac,
640
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,127
from Genesis 22.
641
00:30:32,164 --> 00:30:34,799
In this story, God asks Abraham
642
00:30:34,866 --> 00:30:36,400
to sacrifice his son, Isaac,
643
00:30:36,435 --> 00:30:38,969
on Mount Moriah.
644
00:30:39,004 --> 00:30:42,973
Abraham sets out to obey God's command.
645
00:30:43,041 --> 00:30:44,675
But after binding his son and
646
00:30:44,709 --> 00:30:46,677
preparing for the sacrifice,
647
00:30:46,711 --> 00:30:50,714
he is stopped at the
last minute by an angel.
648
00:30:50,782 --> 00:30:53,584
Conventional interpretations of
649
00:30:53,618 --> 00:30:56,320
the story usually conclude that
650
00:30:56,354 --> 00:31:00,791
God only wanted to test Abraham's faith.
651
00:31:00,859 --> 00:31:02,893
But ancient alien theorists
652
00:31:02,994 --> 00:31:05,262
suggest that the tale has
653
00:31:05,330 --> 00:31:08,199
another interpretation.
654
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:14,371
In my opinion "God-God"
would never ask such a question.
655
00:31:14,406 --> 00:31:17,508
So is it possible that it was a
656
00:31:17,542 --> 00:31:20,344
fallen angel, slash, alien
657
00:31:20,378 --> 00:31:26,784
extraterrestrial who posed as God?
658
00:31:27,318 --> 00:31:30,687
God never demands human sacrifice.
659
00:31:30,755 --> 00:31:31,855
Human sacrifice is totally
660
00:31:31,923 --> 00:31:33,490
anathema to christianity and
661
00:31:33,558 --> 00:31:37,494
it's totally anathema to God as a creator.
662
00:31:37,495 --> 00:31:39,429
The french philosopher Sartre
663
00:31:39,497 --> 00:31:41,698
very famously wrote,
664
00:31:41,733 --> 00:31:43,867
"if an angel were to tell me I needed
665
00:31:43,935 --> 00:31:48,338
to sacrifice my son,
I'd ask for some id".
666
00:31:48,339 --> 00:31:52,509
Maybe somebody else
impersonating a God.
667
00:31:52,577 --> 00:31:53,677
And do we then have somebody
668
00:31:53,711 --> 00:31:55,445
stepping in to actually prevent
669
00:31:55,513 --> 00:31:56,680
this from happening?
670
00:31:56,714 --> 00:31:57,981
Are we, in fact, maybe
671
00:31:58,049 --> 00:31:59,750
confronted with two warring
672
00:31:59,784 --> 00:32:02,619
civilizations trying to control
673
00:32:02,687 --> 00:32:04,054
what is happening in the
674
00:32:04,122 --> 00:32:06,790
stories of the Bible?
675
00:32:06,791 --> 00:32:09,626
Just like there are
good people and bad people
676
00:32:09,694 --> 00:32:11,795
here on earth, there is good
677
00:32:11,896 --> 00:32:14,965
and bad extraterrestrials out there.
678
00:32:15,066 --> 00:32:19,336
Good and evil permeates
the entire universe.
679
00:32:19,370 --> 00:32:20,337
Yin and Yang.
680
00:32:20,405 --> 00:32:23,073
There's a balance.
681
00:32:23,107 --> 00:32:27,544
Deep inside the middle
eastern country of Oman,
682
00:32:27,612 --> 00:32:30,247
a mysterious cavern lies hidden
683
00:32:30,314 --> 00:32:32,516
far beneath the surface.
684
00:32:32,550 --> 00:32:34,785
Called majlis al jinn, or
685
00:32:34,819 --> 00:32:37,521
"meeting place of the jinn",
686
00:32:37,555 --> 00:32:39,990
it stretches more than 14 acres
687
00:32:40,091 --> 00:32:42,359
underground, and is one of the
688
00:32:42,427 --> 00:32:44,995
world's ten largest caves.
689
00:32:45,096 --> 00:32:47,531
Many omanis still believe this
690
00:32:47,598 --> 00:32:49,266
cavern and others like it are
691
00:32:49,333 --> 00:32:51,435
actually inhabited by
692
00:32:51,469 --> 00:32:52,969
supernatural creatures of
693
00:32:53,004 --> 00:32:56,006
islamic folklore called jinn
694
00:32:56,074 --> 00:32:59,076
or genies; mystical creatures
695
00:32:59,143 --> 00:33:03,013
that are usually invisible to man.
696
00:33:03,014 --> 00:33:05,882
One interesting aspect of the jinn
697
00:33:05,917 --> 00:33:07,284
is an element of free will.
698
00:33:07,351 --> 00:33:08,885
They're like angels, but we
699
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,520
think of angels in the west as
700
00:33:10,621 --> 00:33:15,459
under the direct command
of the divine powers.
701
00:33:15,460 --> 00:33:17,828
But the jinn can make some
702
00:33:17,862 --> 00:33:19,296
decisions for themselves, and
703
00:33:19,363 --> 00:33:20,363
some of them are a little
704
00:33:20,431 --> 00:33:23,734
contrary or curious in their way of being.
705
00:33:23,768 --> 00:33:26,569
According to islamic theology,
706
00:33:26,636 --> 00:33:29,740
genies often reveal themselves to humans
707
00:33:29,807 --> 00:33:31,942
with messages, which can be
708
00:33:32,009 --> 00:33:35,345
either benevolent or deceptive.
709
00:33:35,379 --> 00:33:40,350
But is it possible that
genies actually exist?
710
00:33:40,384 --> 00:33:43,353
If so, where did they come from?
711
00:33:43,387 --> 00:33:45,822
When we talk about genie,
genie in a bottle,
712
00:33:45,857 --> 00:33:47,357
it's very interesting because
713
00:33:47,391 --> 00:33:48,925
you rub the bottle and then the
714
00:33:48,993 --> 00:33:50,260
genie comes out of it,
715
00:33:50,294 --> 00:33:51,661
and it fulfills your wishes.
716
00:33:51,729 --> 00:33:53,096
Well, let's look at this from a
717
00:33:53,131 --> 00:33:55,365
modern day perspective.
718
00:33:55,399 --> 00:33:57,834
If you have a little container,
719
00:33:57,869 --> 00:34:00,137
and you push a button and a
720
00:34:00,204 --> 00:34:01,938
hologram comes out, then could
721
00:34:02,006 --> 00:34:04,374
that be a genie in a bottle?
722
00:34:04,408 --> 00:34:06,376
And according to the ancient
723
00:34:06,410 --> 00:34:07,744
astronaut theory, that is
724
00:34:07,845 --> 00:34:09,412
exactly what happened.
725
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,415
Where extraterrestrials used
726
00:34:12,483 --> 00:34:16,686
holograms in order to relay messages.
727
00:34:16,754 --> 00:34:20,390
That is essentially a genie in a bottle.
728
00:34:22,260 --> 00:34:25,762
Like angels, jinn are said
to be able to appear
729
00:34:25,863 --> 00:34:28,465
and disappear at will, and are
730
00:34:28,499 --> 00:34:33,403
sometimes only heard
as disembodied voices.
731
00:34:33,437 --> 00:34:36,139
But while some ancient
astronaut theorists believe
732
00:34:36,207 --> 00:34:38,208
this behavior resembles that of
733
00:34:38,242 --> 00:34:41,411
extraterrestrials, others claim
734
00:34:41,445 --> 00:34:43,480
that angels, jinn and other
735
00:34:43,514 --> 00:34:45,315
supernatural creatures have
736
00:34:45,349 --> 00:34:48,418
origins right here on earth.
737
00:34:48,452 --> 00:34:51,688
They call these beings,
"ultra-terrestrial."
738
00:34:51,689 --> 00:34:53,957
Ultra-terrestrials
739
00:34:54,025 --> 00:34:55,792
are possible beings that travel,
740
00:34:55,860 --> 00:34:58,495
and visit us, from other dimensions.
741
00:34:58,529 --> 00:35:00,230
We know that, we all vibrate in
742
00:35:00,298 --> 00:35:01,798
the three-dimensional space,
743
00:35:01,866 --> 00:35:03,333
at a certain frequency.
744
00:35:03,367 --> 00:35:04,668
It's very possible that other
745
00:35:04,702 --> 00:35:06,503
beings vibrate, at a higher
746
00:35:06,571 --> 00:35:07,804
frequency, and are able to pass
747
00:35:07,872 --> 00:35:11,508
more easily into other dimensions.
748
00:35:11,576 --> 00:35:13,810
The ultra-terrestrial theory would also
749
00:35:13,878 --> 00:35:16,979
explain the folkloric creatures,
750
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,347
the angelic creatures,
751
00:35:18,381 --> 00:35:21,351
any sort of experience of a strange,
752
00:35:21,385 --> 00:35:23,420
supernatural, or alien being,
753
00:35:23,487 --> 00:35:26,556
that has occurred throughout history.
754
00:35:26,557 --> 00:35:29,426
But could so-called
755
00:35:29,493 --> 00:35:31,862
fallen angels, jinn and other
756
00:35:31,896 --> 00:35:33,864
mysterious ultra-terrestrial
757
00:35:33,898 --> 00:35:36,600
creatures really help to explain
758
00:35:36,634 --> 00:35:38,869
more recent stories of people
759
00:35:38,903 --> 00:35:40,003
who claim they are directed
760
00:35:40,071 --> 00:35:44,174
toward violent ends by the word of God?
761
00:35:44,275 --> 00:35:47,277
David Berkowitz, better known
762
00:35:47,345 --> 00:35:50,280
as son of Sam, claimed a demon
763
00:35:50,348 --> 00:35:51,882
who took possession of his
764
00:35:51,916 --> 00:35:55,886
neighbor's dog commanded him to kill.
765
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,321
Herbert Mullin, who committed
766
00:35:58,356 --> 00:36:00,357
13 murders in California in the
767
00:36:00,424 --> 00:36:03,960
early 1970s, claimed voices in
768
00:36:03,995 --> 00:36:06,196
his head told him he had to make
769
00:36:06,264 --> 00:36:07,898
human sacrifices to prevent a
770
00:36:07,965 --> 00:36:10,734
cataclysmic earthquake.
771
00:36:10,801 --> 00:36:13,270
Marshall Applewhite, the leader
772
00:36:13,337 --> 00:36:14,738
of the UFO cult known as
773
00:36:14,805 --> 00:36:17,641
heaven's gate, inspired a mass
774
00:36:17,675 --> 00:36:19,376
suicide based on a vision that
775
00:36:19,443 --> 00:36:23,647
led him to believe he was related to Jesus.
776
00:36:23,681 --> 00:36:28,752
Ancient literature is
full of characters who are
777
00:36:28,819 --> 00:36:30,553
claiming that they have been
778
00:36:30,655 --> 00:36:33,556
influenced by gods, angels,
779
00:36:33,658 --> 00:36:35,091
extraterrestrial beings, right?
780
00:36:35,159 --> 00:36:37,394
Which is rather like when
781
00:36:37,461 --> 00:36:39,262
Charles manson, or the son of
782
00:36:39,297 --> 00:36:42,532
Sam claims, say, metaphysical
783
00:36:42,566 --> 00:36:44,567
reasons or theological reasons
784
00:36:44,669 --> 00:36:45,835
for what they're doing now.
785
00:36:45,870 --> 00:36:47,370
So it's not a matter of whether
786
00:36:47,405 --> 00:36:48,672
we believe them or not.
787
00:36:48,706 --> 00:36:50,540
They very much believe it,
788
00:36:50,574 --> 00:36:52,275
and that's what's important.
789
00:36:52,310 --> 00:36:53,543
What matters is that from the
790
00:36:53,577 --> 00:36:55,011
ancient world to the modern,
791
00:36:55,079 --> 00:36:57,113
there are mysterious forces.
792
00:36:57,148 --> 00:36:58,581
Whether they are fictions or not,
793
00:36:58,649 --> 00:37:01,117
we don't have the ultimate answers.
794
00:37:01,185 --> 00:37:03,219
What matters is the similarity.
795
00:37:03,254 --> 00:37:04,921
And those discourses are, to a
796
00:37:05,022 --> 00:37:09,559
certain extent, transhistorical.
797
00:37:09,593 --> 00:37:12,762
Angels and demons.
798
00:37:12,830 --> 00:37:15,665
Good versus evil.
799
00:37:15,733 --> 00:37:19,769
But if, as many ancient
astronaut proponents maintain,
800
00:37:19,870 --> 00:37:22,105
extraterrestrials have been
801
00:37:22,173 --> 00:37:24,808
masquerading as angels, jinn
802
00:37:24,842 --> 00:37:26,609
and otherworldly creatures for
803
00:37:26,644 --> 00:37:31,548
thousands of years,
where did they come from?
804
00:37:31,582 --> 00:37:33,616
Why are they here?
805
00:37:33,651 --> 00:37:38,621
And could they be all
around us in plain sight?
806
00:37:40,337 --> 00:37:45,141
Mount Hermon, high
above the holy land.
807
00:37:45,175 --> 00:37:48,911
At 9,230 feet, this mysterious
808
00:37:48,946 --> 00:37:50,880
mountain straddles the borders
809
00:37:50,914 --> 00:37:55,851
of Lebanon, Syria and Israel.
810
00:37:55,919 --> 00:37:58,287
Sitting above the Golan heights,
811
00:37:58,322 --> 00:38:00,489
Mount Hermon has been contested
812
00:38:00,524 --> 00:38:02,925
ground among christian, hebrew
813
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:07,063
and islamic faithful
for thousands of years.
814
00:38:07,097 --> 00:38:08,597
According to the synoptic
815
00:38:08,665 --> 00:38:10,866
gospels, Mount Hermon is the
816
00:38:10,901 --> 00:38:13,069
location of the transfiguration
817
00:38:13,103 --> 00:38:17,606
of Jesus, an event in which
818
00:38:17,674 --> 00:38:19,875
Jesus was transformed into a
819
00:38:19,943 --> 00:38:21,711
radiant, altered state and was
820
00:38:21,778 --> 00:38:23,980
seen to be conversing with Moses
821
00:38:24,014 --> 00:38:28,617
and the prophet Elijah.
822
00:38:28,685 --> 00:38:31,354
Mount Hermon is also the site
823
00:38:31,421 --> 00:38:33,222
where the 200 fallen angels
824
00:38:33,256 --> 00:38:37,793
descended to earth
in the Book of Enoch.
825
00:38:37,861 --> 00:38:40,429
But why Mount Hermon?
826
00:38:40,497 --> 00:38:42,064
Is there a geological
827
00:38:42,132 --> 00:38:44,433
significance to that site?
828
00:38:44,434 --> 00:38:46,769
All across the face
of the earth there are
829
00:38:46,803 --> 00:38:49,338
particular hot spots, and it
830
00:38:49,373 --> 00:38:51,340
could well be that the reason
831
00:38:51,375 --> 00:38:52,908
the middle east is such a hot spot,
832
00:38:52,976 --> 00:38:54,777
and the reason there are
833
00:38:54,811 --> 00:38:56,178
legends that the middle east
834
00:38:56,213 --> 00:39:00,249
contains star gates,
portals to other universes.
835
00:39:00,283 --> 00:39:03,185
One theory says that we were
836
00:39:03,220 --> 00:39:04,820
populated from the stars in the
837
00:39:04,855 --> 00:39:06,789
middle east at the beginning of
838
00:39:06,823 --> 00:39:12,094
what we call our own time.
839
00:39:12,129 --> 00:39:15,431
In the occult science of numerology,
840
00:39:15,465 --> 00:39:17,633
the number 33 represents the
841
00:39:17,667 --> 00:39:21,370
ultimate attainment of consciousness.
842
00:39:21,405 --> 00:39:23,105
Mount Hermon is located at the
843
00:39:23,173 --> 00:39:26,175
33rd parallel north, which is a
844
00:39:26,243 --> 00:39:31,447
latitude 33 degrees north
of the earth's equator.
845
00:39:31,481 --> 00:39:32,815
Tracing the 33rd parallel to
846
00:39:32,883 --> 00:39:34,750
the exact opposite side of the
847
00:39:34,818 --> 00:39:37,019
globe directly points to the
848
00:39:37,087 --> 00:39:39,188
site of the most famous alleged
849
00:39:39,222 --> 00:39:42,024
UFO encounter in modern history:
850
00:39:42,059 --> 00:39:44,994
In Roswell, New Mexico.
851
00:39:45,528 --> 00:39:48,797
If you take the geographic
polar opposite from Mount Hermon,
852
00:39:48,831 --> 00:39:51,166
you wind up in Roswell, New Mexico.
853
00:39:51,234 --> 00:39:53,402
Now that's not an accident, folks.
854
00:39:53,436 --> 00:39:54,703
It's not an accident.
855
00:39:54,771 --> 00:39:57,039
Fallen angels are very big on
856
00:39:57,073 --> 00:39:58,607
where they show up, what they
857
00:39:58,675 --> 00:40:00,142
do, how they do it.
858
00:40:00,209 --> 00:40:03,713
That should send shivers
up and down your spine.
859
00:40:04,714 --> 00:40:07,983
But could the global coordinates of the
860
00:40:08,017 --> 00:40:10,319
Roswell crash site and those of
861
00:40:10,353 --> 00:40:12,688
Mount Hermon have a special,
862
00:40:12,722 --> 00:40:15,157
perhaps secret, significance?
863
00:40:15,191 --> 00:40:19,629
If aliens use the 33rd latitudinal line
864
00:40:19,697 --> 00:40:23,065
as a way point, as a landing point for
865
00:40:23,099 --> 00:40:27,135
planet earth, what biblical
866
00:40:27,203 --> 00:40:29,137
people saw thousands and
867
00:40:29,172 --> 00:40:30,672
thousands of years ago on mount
868
00:40:30,707 --> 00:40:32,874
Hermon were entities that came
869
00:40:32,942 --> 00:40:34,042
down from the sky.
870
00:40:34,110 --> 00:40:38,146
They called them angels.
871
00:40:38,181 --> 00:40:42,017
We called them extraterrestrials.
872
00:40:42,018 --> 00:40:43,318
My idea is,
873
00:40:43,353 --> 00:40:44,686
these extraterrestrials...
874
00:40:44,721 --> 00:40:47,389
they landed at different points.
875
00:40:47,423 --> 00:40:48,924
Why?
876
00:40:48,958 --> 00:40:50,926
They knew that thousands of
877
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,061
years in the far future,
878
00:40:53,129 --> 00:40:57,032
the humans would know the
geometry of their land.
879
00:40:57,066 --> 00:40:58,500
And of a sudden, they say,
880
00:40:58,534 --> 00:40:59,701
"hey, what's that?"
881
00:40:59,736 --> 00:41:02,704
These are places linked together.
882
00:41:02,739 --> 00:41:04,206
It's not coincidence.
883
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:08,677
It was on purpose.
884
00:41:08,678 --> 00:41:11,380
Could the angels that
descended on Mount Hermon
885
00:41:11,414 --> 00:41:13,382
thousands of years ago, and the
886
00:41:13,449 --> 00:41:15,584
aliens who were reportedly seen
887
00:41:15,618 --> 00:41:16,952
over Roswell, New Mexico, in
888
00:41:17,020 --> 00:41:20,656
1947 belong to the same
889
00:41:20,690 --> 00:41:24,026
extraterrestrial race?
890
00:41:24,093 --> 00:41:27,129
And if so, does this mean that
891
00:41:27,196 --> 00:41:32,234
angels or aliens have been
among us all along?
892
00:41:32,301 --> 00:41:35,370
Were they left behind to monitor us?
893
00:41:35,405 --> 00:41:42,010
Or perhaps even guide us into the future?
894
00:41:42,045 --> 00:41:43,378
Probably the last
895
00:41:43,413 --> 00:41:45,113
time that we had any regular
896
00:41:45,181 --> 00:41:47,115
interaction with these ETs as a
897
00:41:47,183 --> 00:41:48,984
cultural level was during the
898
00:41:49,018 --> 00:41:50,752
time of the foundation of islam.
899
00:41:50,787 --> 00:41:53,655
For whatever reason, these guys
900
00:41:53,723 --> 00:41:55,724
seem to have followed a mutual,
901
00:41:55,758 --> 00:41:57,459
collective agreement that they'd
902
00:41:57,527 --> 00:41:58,727
withdraw from the earth after
903
00:41:58,761 --> 00:41:59,995
the time of islam, the new
904
00:42:00,063 --> 00:42:01,229
testament in the Bible,
905
00:42:01,264 --> 00:42:02,531
etcetera, etcetera.
906
00:42:02,598 --> 00:42:06,234
Stay away...
907
00:42:06,269 --> 00:42:07,536
But in the meantime, we develop
908
00:42:07,570 --> 00:42:09,337
technology, we get all proud of
909
00:42:09,372 --> 00:42:11,006
ourselves and think, oh, we're
910
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,874
the only game in town here.
911
00:42:12,909 --> 00:42:14,476
Wake up!
912
00:42:14,510 --> 00:42:16,211
They're all over the place!
913
00:42:16,245 --> 00:42:18,480
Look at the angels in the Bible!
914
00:42:18,514 --> 00:42:19,481
These are documented records.
915
00:42:19,515 --> 00:42:21,049
The people that wrote these
916
00:42:21,084 --> 00:42:23,685
books didn't think they were myths.
917
00:42:23,753 --> 00:42:25,787
They didn't think they were fake.
918
00:42:25,822 --> 00:42:28,490
They were writing down history.
919
00:42:28,491 --> 00:42:33,895
The extraterrestrials want,
that in a far future of mankind,
920
00:42:33,930 --> 00:42:36,398
we start to see these things.
921
00:42:36,432 --> 00:42:38,700
We start to translate these books.
922
00:42:38,735 --> 00:42:40,035
We start to realize that
923
00:42:40,069 --> 00:42:42,971
something on earth in geometry is wrong.
924
00:42:43,039 --> 00:42:45,173
And now we start to ask question.
925
00:42:45,241 --> 00:42:46,875
We start to ask, for example,
926
00:42:46,943 --> 00:42:48,510
how can we explain that?
927
00:42:48,544 --> 00:42:51,880
Have we maybe been visited
by extraterrestrials?
928
00:42:51,948 --> 00:42:55,717
And I think it's important
to think in this way.
929
00:42:55,752 --> 00:42:58,353
Because these extraterrestrials
have promised to return.
930
00:42:58,387 --> 00:43:02,357
And one day, they will return.
931
00:43:02,358 --> 00:43:04,993
If we humans are now
932
00:43:05,061 --> 00:43:07,729
on, we'll say the cusp of
933
00:43:07,764 --> 00:43:09,164
finally having some truth laid
934
00:43:09,232 --> 00:43:11,800
out to us about our relationship
935
00:43:11,868 --> 00:43:13,335
to other intelligences in the
936
00:43:13,369 --> 00:43:15,904
universe, I just hope that we
937
00:43:15,972 --> 00:43:18,707
will be looking at aliens...
938
00:43:18,741 --> 00:43:21,042
past, present and future...
939
00:43:21,077 --> 00:43:24,179
as not our killers and not our
940
00:43:24,213 --> 00:43:27,182
saviors, but as another
941
00:43:27,250 --> 00:43:30,252
intelligence that we will be
942
00:43:30,286 --> 00:43:31,987
able to shake hands with and
943
00:43:32,054 --> 00:43:36,124
learn something about the cosmos.
944
00:43:36,125 --> 00:43:40,262
But if, and perhaps,
when, so-called angels
945
00:43:40,296 --> 00:43:41,730
reveal themselves to us in the
946
00:43:41,764 --> 00:43:44,099
form of extraterrestrials,
947
00:43:44,167 --> 00:43:46,568
would we accept them?
948
00:43:46,636 --> 00:43:49,066
Perhaps only when we are ready
949
00:43:49,169 --> 00:43:51,849
to know the truth about our own origins
950
00:43:51,986 --> 00:43:53,418
will that day come.
