Military Drones and Revelation 9 Prophecy?

A closer look at the emerging Military Drones and Revelation 9 Prophecy in the Book of Revelation. Technology is making huge advances in these modern times and we are becoming increasingly reliant on technology in our lives as a result. Technology always has and always will be prevalent in the military and a lot of the technology makes itself seen in civilian society, some years after their first release in the military. This article will be specifically focusing on Drone Technology and its possible relation to Prophecy fulfillment especially in the Book of Revelation.

The latest development is Drone Technology, which is being adopted by Amazon in the commercial arena and is available on the streets now, but the military are also starting to employ drone technology for warfare especially the US. Other nations are not far behind and China is reportedly also showing significant interest.



Here´s a sample quote from a recent Wired Magazine article on how this new Drone Technology in the US Military is and will manifest itself in the future.

"In the past, small numbers of extremely expensive manned aircraft were the norm, but, in the next few years, large numbers of cheap, expendable drones will be deployed in real-world situations. The US Navy's Low-Cost UAV Swarming Technology (LOCUST) programme is fusing unmanned aircraft into a swarm, and will demonstrate 30 drones flying together somewhere over the ocean"

This looks to be the future of air warfare at least, the cost benefits are staggering and these Drones will have the ability to be aware of the other Drones in a swarm and harmonise with their movements. So how do these drones work in a battle scenario?

"It has a mission that it has to carry out, and it is self-reconfiguring so that if one drone gets taken out, the others autonomously change their behaviour to complete the mission." Any aircraft, manned or unmanned, can be brought down by a single missile, but a swarm can take multiple hits and keep going. Being able to absorb this type of damage makes the drone swarm hard to stop, especially when defences are geared towards shooting down single planes. Designing a system in which drones are aware of each others' movements is a big breakthrough"

via Wired

Drones at present can be remotely controlled from vast distances and therefore the loss of human life is reduced. They can fly relatively undetected and can prove difficult to target and destroy with conventional missile systems designed for much larger aircraft and helicopters. Even a large quantity of drones cost a fraction of a typical military aircraft"

According to Wired

"individual drones will position themselves autonomously, flying in formation without being told explicitly where to go".

The whole objective behind this military move is the cost effectiveness or relative throwaway nature of Drone technology.

" This is why "low cost" is part of the name -- the drones must be cheap enough to be expendable. "Reaching the point where an entire swarm of UAVs costs less than a single missile is the general objective," Mastroianni says. The goal seems realistic enough when you consider that the US Navy's Harpoon anti-ship missiles cost around $1.2 million (£770,000) each."

Which brings us onto Bible Prophecy especially the Book of Revelation. There is a strong coincidental reference in Chapter 9 strangely enough to "Locusts" but upon reading the Bible verses in this Chapter it becomes immediately apparent that these are no ordinary Locusts.

Revelation 9:1-11
1. And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11. And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

The above verse was written by St John the Divine on the Island of Patmos and forms part of the Book of Revelation which is a horrific vision of future events. What was St John Divine seeing and also hearing here? Was it a symbolic form of Locusts, or was he just describing something that he didn't really understand, but tried his best in describing something that was happening 2000 years in the future.

These locusts as mentioned in Verse 4 were quite specific on what their mission was. They do not show the same animal behaviour as normal locusts. These are instructed to uncharacteristically touch NO vegetation which is what normal locusts would do. Instead they are to attack only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were also instructed not to kill, but just to torment for 5 months, to the extent that these people will want to seek to take their own life, but they are unable to do so.

The sound they make or the sound made by their wings "was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle". Many before the Drone technology surfaced said that what St John was seeing and hearing were military helicopters but the image of a Drone or a vast number of them seems to fit the description in Revelation 9 much more accurately and would make a similar sound as mentioned in Chapter 9 in Revelation.

According to Popular Science these new Military Drones demonstrate that

“They are a collective organism, sharing one distributed brain for decision-making and adapting to each other like swarms in nature,”

according to Strategic Capabilities Office Director William Roper, before emphasising that there was a human in the loop.

The human in the loop seems to be the key words here, as the Locusts that are mentioned in Revelation 9 do not show the same animal type behaviour as normal Locusts but show almost human like behaviour in their ability to select their target and also avoid vegetation which would ordinarily be their natural target.

Locusts are mentioned a few times in the Bible in Leviticus and Joel and also in Psalms:

Proverbs 30:27 - The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;

Firstly it is Proverbs 30 that demonstrates that these Locusts are not your regular Locusts. Proverbs clearly states that the Locusts have no king. But the Locusts mentioned in Revelation 9:11 clearly DO have a King

Revelation 9:11
And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

Secondly it is in Exodus where the Ten Plagues are unleashed on Pharaoh and all of Egypt especially the plague of locusts which demonstrates what locusts normally do and how they behave as demonstrated in Exodus 10.

Exodus 10:15 - For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

You could say that the Locusts in Revelation 9 demonstrate the exact opposite behaviour of the plague of Locusts in Exodus 10. The Locusts in Exodus 10 were concerned with vegetation. The Locusts in Revelation 9 will be concerned with people. Watch this video below of a Drone attack simulation and listen to the sound they make at the end. Is this the sound that St John the Divine was describing in Revelation 9?

Taking things a step further, even more recent developments have shown the surfacing of a new technology called Nano Drone Technology or MAV's. These are micro versions of the military drones and can be the size of a butterfly. Their intended use is more geared for surveillance purposes due to their small size and can stay in one location for days or even weeks via self powering options such as solar power.

Conclusions:
Many modern day developments are fulfilling Bible Prophecy as we speak but this technological breakthrough really does have all the hallmarks of Revelation Chapter 9 written all over it. These drones can fly in formation like birds and can be as destructive as locusts.

The locusts that St John describes in Revelation are not the same Locusts mentioned in Exodus, these are far more sophisticated in nature and demonstrate an almost human quality which is exactly the same as these Drones, as they are remotely but human controlled. Revelation 9 is a strange one at best, but only time will tell whether the Locusts mentioned in Revelation 9 are symbolic, actual or the emerging military drone technology that is being developed right now in these modern times right under our very eyes?

The Human Pig Chimera and Bible Prophecy Matthew 24:37

The First Human Pig Hybrid (Chimera) was created last week according to Wired, National Geographic and a host of other online news sources, and is apparently a step toward custom organs for humans? This article will take a look at this groundbreaking headline and how it ties in with Bible Prophecy with the following words from Jesus himself warning that you will definitely know when you are in the Last Days mentioned both in Matthew and in Luke:

Matthew 24:37
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Luke 17:26
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

This headline hasn't got the mass coverage that I thought it would get hence this article with a look from a Biblical perspective.




What is a Chimer?
Chimeras are the result of the mixing of two or more species of say human, animal or even plant DNA to produce a new species, a sort of hybrid which is called a Chimera. If you've ever watched the Hollywood Film starring Jeff Goldblum called The Fly, you will get the idea. The word "Chimera" has Greek origins from Greek mythology. The Greek mythological character, Medusa, who was part woman and part snake with hair made of individual snakes, was a Chimera and also the Egyptian Sphinx which was half man and half lion is another example of a Chimera. Half human and half dog was also depicted in Egyptian paintings amongst others!

There is mention of this in the Bible with interaction between Fallen Angels (sometimes referred to as The Watchers) and humans in the following verses:

Genesis 6:1-4
1. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Looking at these verses the "sons of God" mentioned are Angels that came to earth and which some are saying are "Fallen Angels". It states quite clearly that these Fallen Angels found the human women attractive what is described in Genesis as "fair" and married them and they had children from this coupling. The children are mentioned as "Giants" but are referred outside of the Bible as "The Nephilim". The word Nephilim never appears in the Bible. This is the first Biblical instance of a Chimera or Angel/Human hybrid which went against the natural laws which were created in Genesis 1.

God had strict view on the different types of Flesh on the Earth and not mixing with one another for good reason.

1st Corinthians 15:38-39
38. But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

Genesis 1:24-25
24. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Basically God is saying in the Bible verses above that every thing should reproduce after its own kind. The Watchers and Nephilim were in complete violation of these natural laws hence the term "In the days of Noah"!

This unnatural coupling produced in God's eyes much evil on the earth and he decided to eradicate mankind and everything associated with it by creating The Flood. Miraculously there is conclusive evidence in the Bible that these Nephilim survived the Great Flood as they are mentioned a number of times (see video) a long way after the flood on the Old Testament of the Bible with Goliath who was killed by David being the most famous. Were they on the ark with Noah???

Chimeras in the News
The recent headline is not the first ever Chimera created there have been many others including: rats with human brains, sheep with human hearts - 15% human-animal chimera, rabbit eggs fused with human cells, pigs with human blood, tomatoes mixed with flounders, firefly genes mixed with tobacco plants = glow in the dark plants amongst others.

Chimeras in Mythology
In mythology a Man + Goat is called a Satyr, a Man + Horse is called a Centaur, Man + Bull is called a Minotaur, Bird + Horse is called Pegasus, Bird + Lion is called a Griffin. Outside of Greek Mythology itcould be said that a Bird + Dinosaur + Man = T-Rex. Certainly Teradactyls were a combination of Bird and Reptile and yet another example of a Chimera.

Heading back to the Days of Noah (Noe)
Before the Great Flood in Noah's time Chimeras existed but inside the Bible there is just a vague mention of these creations. To get more information on this topic you would have to go outside the Bible iby consulting the Apocryphal Books ncluding the Book of Enoch (Enoch is mentioned in the Bible) and the Book of Jasher (mentioned by Joshua and David in the Old Testament). The Book of Enoch actually exists but many say the copy of the Book of Jasher that is available today may not be the original proper copy. According to the Book of Enoch, 200 of Lucifer's Fallen Angels, (a class of beings called The Watchers) landed on Mt. Hermon in the days of Jared. The Book of Jasher mentioned in the Bible was according to some sources lost and has not survived to modern times.

Here is one verse (unverified) for those who are interested.

The Book of Jasher, mentioned in the Bible in Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18, says,

“After the fallen angels went into the daughters of men, the sons of men taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order to provoke the Lord” (4:18)

Other Apocryphal books include 2 Esdras, Genesis Aprocryphon. These books expand and add that the sin of the "Fallen Angels" grew to include genetic modification of animals as well as humans.

Summary
What we have witnessed in the news just last week with the creation of the first Human/Pig Chimera or Hybrid is mankind coming full circle and creating pretty much the same thing and violating the natural laws and creating Chimeras just as it was "in the days of Noah". Times change...........mankind doesn't.
Of course these Chimeras are used for organ research and replacements but just like with the newly found CRISPR technique that can change DNA we are on the doorsteps of man playing God and thinking he can replace God but what are we creating to achieve that aim.

As proven many times examples being cloning sheep, you can recreate an exact copy in appearance terms but step outside the natural order of things and the thing you have created will have FRankenstein tendencies and what will not have The Spirit of God in it as it is in violation of the laws of nature created from the very beginning when God created the world and the Universe in 6 days.

There is not much mention of the Nephilim in the Bible for good reason and nay investigations will lead to a dead end. A verse that has no cross referencing whatsoever which would include a verse such as Daniel 2:43

As Jesus said in his warning to the disciples on how to recognise The Last Days

Matthew 24:37
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

If you ever doubted we were in the Last Days this Pig/Human Chimera headline is confirmation of that fact. The question is, are the Nephilim or even Fallen Angels here as well, or will they be re-created again.......... but this time in a laboratory?

The Dangers of our Modern Screen Based Society

Where is our modern screen based society heading?

A completely right out there topic based on modern technology that a few people may be aware of and many are not, or just choose not to be aware, and that is our Modern Screen Based Society and our increasing dependency on it. What on earth has this got to do with End Times or even the Bible and Book of Revelation and End Times Prophecy. It has a lot to do with it.............intrigued...... better read on.

This article was inspired like most of my articles by some unusual circumstances which bumped into me literally. Walking down Oxford Street you notice most people these days are completely engrossed looking at their mobile screens and walking down the road not looking where they are going and even crossing the street whilst checking their emails or Twitter completely oblivious to the world around them and nearly getting run over. Ten years ago this would have been classed as completely mad and psychotic behaviour, but now in our high tech mobile age this is classed as normal behaviour. In fact I would go as far as to say, if you are not doing this...... then you are totally Uncool.

One day, (recently)I got so fed up walking round people who were potentially just going to walk straight into me with their faces looking down at their screens, I decided to keep walking in a straight line just like the good old days and see what happens heading for a collision course for one of these what I call "zombie apocalypse" types. Within a micro distance (we´re talking a hands length) this particular one suddenly, looked up, stopped, changed direction just in time and looked at me, sort of emitted a grunt, like I was interrupting what he was watching or doing and sort of silently said "why don´t you look where you are going" and "it´s your responsibility to get out of the way because I´m checking my mobile and you are not"?. Is this the NEW really Cool Hipster Highway Code??

Lets switch back a couple of months to a video that had a big impact on me, (don´t see many of those) and that is one about The Times of Noah produced by Barney Winner 5 at You Tube. Many things were discussed in that video on how the times we are in now are very similar to the times back in the day when Noah was around..... just before The Flood. He covers a vast number of topics including the Nephilim and others, all related to this End Times Scenario (the video is 1 hour long) but mentions some initially bizarre things which eventually click into place and one of those topics is strangely..........Entertainment.

He raises a very interesting scenario about how do you keep someone distracted from what is going on around themselves to the point that they do not notice anything else. You entertain them.....it´s......that simple. Hollywood knows this, the music industry knows this, so does the media and guess who owns all of them.The word you are thinking of begins with I. Also most of this entertainment these days tends to be screen based. Everything we do is based on a screen. Checkouts at Supermarkets, Banking, Communication, Computer Gaming, Video Billboards and Advertising, In Car Navigation, Video calls, PC/Laptop, TV, Photography and Video.

With an increasingly screen based world, we are becoming more and more dependent on them, to the extent that many prefer the virtual world presented on the screen rather than the real world that we actually live in. People are spending more and more time interacting with screens and less and less time interacting with people as in human beings. What finally prompted me to write this article was a Tweet I saw this morning from a Tech Twitter feed called Quartz @QZ of a couple in bed facing away from each other checking their mobiles but the picture has been edited where the mobiles have been deleted and all you see is their hands minus mobiles. Check it out....this is what our world is heading towards.....very sad indeed. This reminds me of another famous example, which is a Banksy Artwork called Mobile Lovers from way back in 2014 as shown at the Blog post photo at the top, showing a couple in an embrace both looking over their partners shoulder and looking longingly at their mobiles. This another example how screen based technology is taking over our lives.

What is rapidly happening in our world is instead of loving people and having relationships with them, we are starting to love our technology more and have relationships with these things instead at the expense of our relationships with people. We are moving away increasingly from a Christian world to a more Demonic world.

https://twitter.com/qz/status/808921969185947648

Yes this is all very interesting but what does this have to do with End Times and Bible Prophecy. It has everything to do with it. There is a spiritual battle currently underway. It is a global one, it is happening right under our very noses, and it is not one that is in the headlines. Very few are aware of it, but those who are aware including myself do not spend their lives being distracted by screens If they use them it is to raise awareness, like with this article, that something is going down. Amazing advances in technology that some wonder how on earth did mankind come up with such ideas and why has there been a massive acceleration almost out of nowhere in the last 20 years or so. Why....because we haven´t been watching what is going on around us, we have been too busy being entertained by screens and been distracted from these new things slipping into our world under our very noses.

The Screen or Digital Society is the front runner to the emerging New World Order as mentioned in the Agenda 2030 and as has been mentioned many times on this website before ties in very closely with the society that will emerge called The Beast System mentioned in Revelation 13. How do you introduce a system that takes away privacy, results in central control and monitoring, erodes civil rights and results in loss of freedoms reducing the human condition to just a number and destroying Christian values, as so brilliantly demonstrated in the Orwellian Film 1984. How do you introduce such a system without people noticing, without much in the way of resistance..............it´s simple..............you keep them entertained and staring at their screens!

Times may have changed since The Times of Noah but in real terms nothing has changed and God never changes. We are in exactly the same situation again as we were back then just before the Wrath of God and the Global Reset called The Great Flood. Only this time the judgement will not be the total flood of the planet, this time around the judgement will be The Book of Revelation.

Bible Quotes:

Why is there life on Earth and nowhere else?

The Billion dollar Question. Why is planet earth the only planet that can support life? OR Why is there only life on earth? OR Why is earth the only planet to sustain life OR Why does life exist on earth and nowhere else? I don't have the answer, I don't think anybody really does but that doesn't mean you can't attempt to find an answer either via Science or Religion.

This is a personal question and open ended article, that has been on the back of my mind since writing the The Big Bang Theory V God Created the Universe?  where the question was raised near the end with mutterings on this very subject........ excerpt below

On a final note, If science says that our world and our universe were created via The Big Bang, why is it that even now after discovering planetary systems outside our solar system and knowing now all the planets within our solar system, Planet Earth is the only one that has the capability to sustain life and importantly human life. Why is that………….is there a scientific explanation for that or is it an act beyond human grasp and the realms of science in what can only be called “Divine Intervention” by a higher superior power??

I'm not a Scientist or Astronomer but this question has also become more prominent with the Juno probe getting closer to Jupiter as we speak with it's ETA being 4th July 2016 which just happens to be Independence Day in the US. What will it find (if anything) will it find life even in it's primitive form or evidence there was life millions or billions of years ago..........but not now? Do the Moons of Jupiter instead of the Planet itself maybe hold the key to the existence of life. Will it provide answers to many questions, or will it merely provide answers that generate more questions with no answers?



Theories about Life on Earth and whether there is life beyond earth?

There are many theories why Earth can sustain plant, animal and human life and other planets in our solar system cannot. Here's some of those theories starting with the simpler theories that anybody can understand and onto the more complex answers which most people can't understand or don't want to understand..

1. The Goldilocks Zone. If you know the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story then this principle can apparently be applied to Planet Earth. Basically it's not so far away from the Sun that it is too cold to support life nor is it too close to the Sun that everything get's burnt to a frazzle.

2. The "We Don't Know" Theory. Some say yes there is life on this planet and the other planets in our solar system apparently do not have life, but are we really sure that is the case. We haven't conclusively proved that there is no life on other planets neither have we proven that there is life either. We don't have at present the technology or means to find out such things in short "We Don't Know" enough to say there is or is not life beyond earth, but that doesn't mean that there is no other life out there.

3. The "There is an Earth in every Solar System" Theory. This theory states that every solar system has a Sun or Bright Star of which there are planets at varying distances orbiting around it. These planets in similar solar systems will demonstrate the same properties as our solar system with life only being supported on the planet in the sweet spot or in the "Goldilocks Zone" such as Earth or it's equivalent and the rest will not be able to support life in any form. The only problem is we have no proof of that fact or the technology to prove that fact either. A recent NASA discovery back in 2013 proves this point. These planets seem earth like in appearance but can they sustain life. See the video below, again there is a chance that these planets are capable of supporting life BUT there is no evidence at present to prove that fact.



4. The UFO Effect. If you believe in aliens and UFO's then with all the sightings (confirmed or otherwise) there just has to be other forms of life out there and Planet Earth is not the only planet to support plant, animal or human life. There could be undocumented forms of life out there in the form of Alien life that doesn't fit into the normal three categories but is still a form of life none the less. Again we have no answers on this?

5. The "Life Comes to Us" Theory. Humans have only FOUND one planet with life....the one we are on. There could be tens, hundreds, or thousands of planets with life...we just can't find them. We might never find them. Unless...they find us.

6. "The Fermi Paradox" Theory or Fermi's paradox, named after Enrico Fermi, is the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence and high probability estimates, for the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations. The basic points of the argument, made by physicists Enrico Fermi (1901–1954) and Michael H. Hart (born 1932), are:

There are billions of stars in the galaxy that are similar to the Sun many of which are billions of years older than Earth.
With high probability, some of these stars will have Earth-like planets and if the Earth is typical, some might develop intelligent life.
Some of these civilizations might develop interstellar travel, a step the Earth is investigating now.
Even at the slow pace of currently envisioned interstellar travel, the Milky Way galaxy could be completely traversed in about a million years.
According to this line of thinking, the Earth should have already been visited by extraterrestrial aliens?

7. The "Drake Equation". Apparently to detect any form of life in Space it's all down to a certain formula called The Drake Equation which answers the question How can we estimate the number of technological civilizations that might exist among the stars? The Drake Equation, was first presented by Frank Drake in 1961 and identifies specific factors thought to play a role in the development of such civilizations. Although there is no unique solution to this equation, it is a generally accepted tool used by the scientific community to examine these factors. Within the limits of our existing technology, any practical search for distant intelligent life must necessarily be a search for some manifestation of a distant technology according to Drake.

Here's the equation

[caption id="attachment_1046" align="aligncenter" width="540"] The Drake Equation Where,[/caption]

N = The number of civilizations in The Milky Way Galaxy whose electromagnetic emissions are detectable.

R* = The rate of formation of stars suitable for the development of intelligent life.

fp = The fraction of those stars with planetary systems.

ne = The number of planets, per solar system, with an environment suitable for life.

fl = The fraction of suitable planets on which life actually appears.

fi = The fraction of life bearing planets on which intelligent life emerges.

fc = The fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space.

L = The length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space.

The Biblical Explanation?

The biblical explanation doesn't have any mathematical formulas, doesn't rely on any inconclusive theories or rely on UFO's to prove that there is or is not life beyond this planet. It's all there in black and white in the first Book of the Bible called Genesis and in Chapter 1. God created the World and the Universe in Six Days and rested on the Seventh.

BUT many Christians think, ‘God must have created life elsewhere, otherwise this enormous universe would be an awful waste of space.’ This seems to be the major underlying reason why people think that there must be other life 'out there'. However, our thinking should be based on what God said He did (in the Bible), and not what we think He would, should or might have done.

There is mention of other worlds in the Bible with this verse

Hebrews 11:3: ‘Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.’

There is mention of God's creation in Psalm 8:1,3,9 which states, “O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Thy name in all the earth, Who hast displayed Thy splendor above the heavens! …When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which Thou has ordained; …O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Thy name in all the earth!”

But there is no mention of other life beyond our planet. The Old Testament refers only to the Earth and the Heavens and does not imply that stars are merely distant suns with other potential worlds in orbit, indeed, it does not even imply that there are other worlds in orbit around our own sun. There is no mention of other life in other worlds in the Bible, only on this planet. Did God plan it this way, is Earth really the only planet that has any form of life and that is how it was intended and no matter how hard we look, we will not find any other life for that reason?

Maybe you have the answer? Which brings us back to the original question. Why does life exist on earth and nowhere else?
