Have you ever wondered if extraterrestrials have been in touch with us and we didn’t know it? What if the extraterrestrial influence on our lives was so commonplace that we had trouble distinguishing its unearthly origin? What if an extraterrestrial message was nearby at your fingertips—would you want to know what it said?
These are interesting questions, but they are not a flight of fancy. There is startling evidence that the words of the Bible were written from a perspective beyond the space/time we call home.
I know, you’re probably saying, “TC, did you take all your meds today?”, but keep an open mind. I’m drawn to this subject today because we are in the Easter season. What is so fascinating about this time is how much of Jesus’s life and death were presented in stunning detail generations before His birth. That can’t happen within the confines of our four-dimensional existence. They transcend time in a manner indicating a much higher perspective.
Today I want to talk in particular about a psalm written by King David a thousand years before Jesus was born. It is extremely interesting because it is a first-person account of crucifixion, a punishment that wouldn’t enter the historical scene for several hundred years. The fact that it was written in the first person is uncanny—David would have had no relevant experience in writing it, and even if crucifixion had been invented, no crucified individual would live to provide a first-person account. These words literally had to have been communicated to David by an entity outside our human existence and outside our timeline! Here’s a snippet:
“ I am poured out like water,
And all My bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It has melted within Me.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And My tongue clings to My jaws;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.
For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
They pierced My hands and My feet;
I can count all My bones.
They look and stare at Me.
They divide My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.”
A read through the gospels shows us that this is exactly what happened to Jesus at the crucifixion. Moreover, this particular psalm begins with the words, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me.” These are the very words Jesus cried out from the Cross. The words have confounded casual readers of the Bible with the idea that Jesus may have had a lapse in faith at this time. However, the exact opposite is true. In his day, the psalms were not numbered; they were referenced by the first line. When Jesus cried these words from the Cross, he was recalling the very psalm that detailed His passion a thousand years before His birth!
What is even more astonishing is that this psalm is one example of about 300 very specific prophecies of Jesus’s life. I invite anyone interested in the idea of proving the Bible’s extraterrestrial origins to get the DVD Prophecy 101 from Chuck Missler (available on Amazon). In this video, Chuck applies the rules of statistics to the 300 prophecies pertaining to Christ’s life to show that the odds of one man happening to fulfill them is roughly equivalent to choosing by happenstance a specific atom in all of the universe! Statistically, there is zero chance that Jesus fulfilled these very detailed prophecies as some fluke. He was God, who foretold centuries in advance what He would do for us.
In the This Generation Series, a group of people is so taken with the prospect of extraterrestrial contact that they fall for a great deception. All the while they disdain the real extraterrestrial message of the Bible. In The Challenge, I’ll discuss how the true extraterrestrial message can change lives.
