UFOs in the Bible – The flight of the gods – 1 of 2

This means that the considerations about the Hebrew word “ānān” (cloud) will be valid only for the passages taken from the Old testament, as in the New, being this latter written in Greek and not in Hebrew the word used is not “anan but the” Greek “nephelē” (νεφέλη), cloud. (See: 3507 – nephelé)

1. Exodus 40: 36-38 – The UFO Glowing cloud

This cloud is undoubtedly bizarre. 

First of all, it has an owner, Yahweh: “the cloud of Yahweh(עֲנַ֨ן יְהוָ֤ה)“. 

Additionally, the marching times of crossing the desert depend on it. Whenever the cloud above the tabernacle lifted, they would proceed on their travels. However, if the cloud remained stationary, they would not move until the day it finally lifted.

From the biblical account its clear that the cloud lead the Israelites throughout their forty-year journey through the wilderness, with the people faithfully following its lead as they receive precise instructions linked to the strategic defense of the camp and the army. 

Finally, this peculiar aerial object had cloud-like appearances during the day and emitted a glowing light at night, reminiscent of descriptions often associated with modern UFO sightings.

Have you ever witnessed a cloud that remains stationary for days or years, glows at night and serves as a constant guide?

2. Exodus 13: 21.22 – Ufo cloud and the Pillar of fire

Exodus 13: 21.22:

“And Yahweh went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night. He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people..”

During the day, Yahweh led them forward on something that the text describes as “pillar of a cloud”, and by night in a “pillar of fire”. The Bible leaves little clues at this specific point as to what it might have been, but tells us that it served to guide the Jews, to show them the way during the crossing of the desert. 

The concept of Yahweh, regarded as God by theologians, leading his people through a “pillar of fire” is, indeed, bizzare. What was this cloud really? and how to explain the striking resemblance with some modern ufological manifestations?

The verse tells us that during the night this “pillar of fire” remained stationary and gave light to the camp.

It sounds very much like a huge light column being released by the UFO, a sort of huge laser beam that, at least in these circumstances, gave directions to the Hebrews and and acted as a light source during the night.

3. Exodus 14: 24,25 – Ufo cloud and direct intervention in battle.

Exodus 14: 24,25:

And took off their chariot wheels, that they drove them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians.”

With this passage the situation further escalates. It plainly shows that Yahweh was definitely not God and it gives us further insights into the “cloud”. The text states that Yahweh looked at the camp of the Egyptians from his “pillar of fire and cloud“. It would appear that Yahweh is inside the “cloud” and is in control of it.

The “pillar of fire and cloud” seems to be capable of directly intervene in battle. The text tells us that in an act of combat against the Egyptian army, “Yahweh looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,And took off their chariot wheels, that they drove them heavily“. 

It appears that the UFO is somehow inflicting heavy material damages to the enemy chariots. Yahweh, through the “pillar of fire and cloud” casts a mighty “look” upon the Egyptians, exerting a force so formidable that it crushes them. Egyptians are crashed by the divine “look” from the UFO positioned above them. 

Some kind of advanced technology is involved in this. If it is not the light beam that is responsible for this attack, then it must be some other unspecified weapon possessed by the “cloud”.

It becomes evident that Yahweh, within the “pillar of fire and cloud,” exercises control and directly intervenes in battle, inflicting significant damage to the Egyptian army. The overwhelming force exerted by the UFO-like phenomenon suggests the involvement of advanced technology, challenging traditional interpretations.
