Are aliens fallen angels??

[Ezra]

So what does that "many rooms" phrase mean to you?

The context will make things very clear (Jn 14:1-3):

¹Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

²In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

 

Who is speaking? Christ before His passion

 

Who is being addressed? His disciples (believers)

 

Who is the Father?  None other than God

 

What is the "Father's house"? The New Jerusalem (presently in Heaven)

 

What is in the New Jerusalem?  Dwelling places for those who are Christ's

 

What is Christ doing at present?  Preparing mansions for His own

 

What will Christ do at the Rapture? Receive the saints unto Himself

 

Where will they be after the Rapture? With Christ in the New Jerusalem

 

While modern translations use the word "rooms", that does not adequately describe what Christ is preparing.  "Mansions" is more in keeping with the glory of the New Jerusalem and the glorious inheritance of the saints.  Note below what the Greek word means:

moné: an abiding, an abode

Original Word: μονή, ῆς, ἡ

Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine

Transliteration: moné

Phonetic Spelling: (mon-ay')

Short Definition: lodging, dwelling-place, room

Definition: lodging, dwelling-place, room, abode, mansion.

Lets keep our eyes upon Jesus shall we? He's more important than UFO's no?

Amen, brother Fez.

It seems reasonable to conclude many UFO encounters are demonic in nature, though I wouldn't use that as a blanket statement to describe all strange phenomena regarding UFOs. There does seem to be a connection between new age, the occult, and alien phenomena. Whether it is supernatural or man-made, it does act as a deception to get people to question God and turn their attention to something else. In that sense, I do feel it is demonic, as Satan does everything he can to drive a wedge between us and God. While many new age practitioners are led further astray by these means, it's important for Christians not to become too preoccupied with this type of phenomena.

If it is something that is not bringing you closer to God, I can tell you with near 100% accuracy what it is

The Truth is the only reality. Truth expressed is Unconditional Love. To maintain this Truth requires Faith. Anything outside of this is deceptive.
