It’s Hysterically Funny That The Democratic Nominee For President Joe Biden Has A Long And Enthusiastic History Of Racism And Segregation

On May 22nd, Joe Biden said to radio host Charlamagne, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

On May 22, Biden sat down for an interview with “The Breakfast Club,” a popular radio show. Near the end of the interview, as he was questioned on policy by host Charlamagne, Biden said, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

Oh how painful it must be to be a Democrat in the woke age in which we live in 2020, how utterly stupefying it must be to support riots in the streets to ‘end racism’ while simultaneously attempting to support a candidate for president you is a racist. This is a juggling act you are forced to do to maintain your membership in the Democratic Party in 2020.

Aside from being a serial molester of women and children, Joe Biden for nearly half a century in public office has made continual racist statements, and worked to pass laws that promoted segregation and unequal treatment to people of color. The internet is forever, and video proof of his deeds and actions are very easy to come by. We have posted some at the bottom of this article for you to view and consider.

The Democrats have made a deal with the Devil in picking Joe Biden as their nominee, only choosing him because they think his reduced mental condition will make him easy to control should he win the presidency. But they have to support an avowed, lifelong racist to do that, and guess what? It is highly likely that Biden will lose to Donald Trump, and they will have supported a racist who only wound up losing.

That’s a heck of a party platform, don’t you think? #BlackLivesMatter #PowerMatters

Joe Biden is a Racist Who Loves Police Brutality

FROM LEFT VOICE: Joe Biden’s history of enthusiastic racism stretches back decades. From the moment he entered the U.S. Senate in the early 1970s, he vocally opposed busing to achieve school desegregation. Today he disputes this fact, claiming he only opposed federally mandated busing. Nevertheless, “opposing busing” has long been racist code for opposing Black and brown children going to school with white children. At a time when “separate but equal” was beginning to become politically unpalatable, Biden’s leadership against busing, in the most generous possible interpretation, provided cover for segregationists to continue their work.

Joe Biden represented Delaware in the Senate, a state that essentially refused to desegregate schools through a combination of hair-splitting laws and white parents shifting their children to private schools en masse. Private school enrollment in Delaware is now among the highest in the nation, at 17.6 percent in Biden’s hometown of Wilmington — the vast majority of them white. Meanwhile, disproprotionately Black public schools are systematically starved of funds. This kind of de facto segregation is exactly what Joe Biden promoted in his anti-busing campaign.

Ahead of the 2020 South Carolina presidential primary, a focus group was asked about this very portion of Biden’s record. One woman in the group asked “are we honestly being asked to to believe he is a segregationist?” Evidence points to yes.

Twenty years later, having risen to the prominent position of chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Biden presided over confirmation hearings for Clarence Thomas to become the second Black Supreme Court justice. The hearings became a crucible for the particular combination of racism and misogyny at the heart of the United States when law professor Anita Hill, also Black and who had previously worked for Thomas, came forward with sexual harassment allegations against him. The all-male, all-white committee Biden chaired questioned her in brutal detail. He refused to take her allegations seriously, launched no investigation, and failed to accept testimony from multiple other witnesses and survivors of Thomas’s harassment. With Biden’s collusion, Thomas was confirmed and today is one of the Court’s consistent right-wing votes. Reportedly, he’s also Trump’s favorite justice.

Biden’s dismal record here is especially important to note, since one of the main arguments deployed in his favor is that he will appoint better judges than Trump has to various federal courts.

Perhaps the most egregious example of Biden’s racist use of power is 1994’s Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, the crime bill he wrote and continues to support vocally to this day. The bill is a laundry list of the worst aspects of the mass incarceration state. It led to a boom in the number of police officers and prisons, lengthened prison sentences, and created financial incentives to keep people in jail. It created 60 new death penalty offenses as well as the infamous “three strikes and you’re out” rule, which inflicted a life sentence for almost any crime, even ones considered very minor, if there were two prior convictions for “serious” or “violent” crimes. Since then, people have died in prison for things like stealing a dollar in loose change from a parked car, possessing less than 1 gram of a drug, and attempting to break into a soup kitchen. Biden had also co-written the Anti-Drug Abuse Act a few years earlier, during the so-called crack epidemic. It amplified sentencing disparities between crack cocaine users, who were mostly Black, and powder cocaine users, who were mostly white.

All these new laws affected people of color, especially Black and Indigenous people, the most, leading to a massive increase in incarceration, policing, and the destruction of Black communities. While the crime bill was very popular at the time, it came under heavy criticism from those who knew it would worsen carceral capitalism. Now considered widely to be a racist failure, some previous supporters have disowned it. Only someone truly committed to racism would maintain his support of the bill, as Biden still does. “On balance,” he says, “the whole bill …  did in fact bring down violent crime.” And, he contends, “The crime bill didn’t increase mass incarceration.”

Biden’s racism can also be viewed through the lens of the infamous “civility” of the U.S. Senate — a body that serves as a playground in which rich and powerful Democrats and Republicans can disagree lightly during working hours while maintaining deep social, political, and financial connections. Biden was an enthusiastic participant in this tradition through his friendship and fruitful working relationship with noted segregationist and vile racist Strom Thurmond, the senator from South Carolina.

“I disagreed deeply with Strom on the issue of civil rights, and on many other issues, but I watched him change,” Biden said as he eulogized his racist friend in 2003. However, it’s not clear that they disagreed all that much. They worked together early in Biden’s Senate career on the 1983 Comprehensive Forfeiture Act, which increased the use of civil asset forfeiture by police departments across the country. Civil forfeiture is legalized theft, allowing cops to seize and sell any property they say is involved in a crime, even if the owner is never even arrested or convicted. It is used mostly against working class and poor people, especially if they are Black. Since 1999, the federal government alone took in $36.5 billion in assets through civil forfeiture, a percentage of which was used to buy military grade weaponry that was then allotted to local and state police agencies and has been deployed against protesters. Biden played a pivotal role in ensuring the law was passed, whipping the Democrats into voting for it and ensuring that Thurmond got the credit for the law.

“We don’t treat the opposition as the enemy,” Biden said while campaigning for president recently. “We might even say a nice word every once in a while about a Republican when they do something good.” Apparently, Biden thinks the police stealing from Black communities in order to repress them more thoroughly is good.

Another line of argument Biden’s supporters use to divert attention from his racism is that he was vice president under Barack Obama, the first Black president of the United States. It doesn’t just smack of “I have a Black friend” side-stepping, it’s even more flimsy.

Obama’s own record on race while president isn’t a glowing one. He often relied on symbolism, rather than material action — such as with the infamous “beer summit” between a white police officer and the Black Harvard University professor the cop arrested for entering his own home. When he wasn’t ignoring race, he insisted it was a “both-sides” issue. For instance, in his famous 2008 “A More Perfect Union” speech, Obama spoke about solving racism in America if only everyone forgave each other. It’s the same “both-sides-ism” whenever a white liberal shares a photo on social media of a cop and a protester hugging (often minutes before the cops turn violent).

During the anti-racist, anti-police uprisings in Ferguson following the murder of Michael Brown in 2014, Obama criticized the protesters. “There are productive ways of responding and expressing those frustrations, and there are destructive ways of responding. Burning buildings, torching cars, destroying property, putting people at risk — that’s destructive and there’s no excuse for it. Those are criminal acts. And people should be prosecuted if they engage in criminal acts.”

Those words are echoed in how liberals are talking about protesters today. Obama, though, had more power than most liberals and used it to expand a racist system. It cannot be a defense of Biden that he served as vice president — a stepping stone to power in itself — under a Black president who pursued mass incarceration, surveillance, the war against drugs, imperialism, land theft from Indigenous people, and other policies of neoliberalism that disproportionately target people of color.

On May 22, Biden sat down for an interview with “The Breakfast Club,” a popular radio show. Near the end of the interview, as he was questioned on policy by host Charlamagne the God, Biden said, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

Black people on social media were quick to point out the absurdity of a white man feeling entitled to determine who is or is not Black. In response to the swift backlash, Biden gave the requisite milquetoast apology. However, Charlamagne zeroed in on the problem. “I don’t ever care about the words and the lip service and the apology is cool, but the best apology is actually a black agenda … They’ve got to make some real policy commitments to black people. We’ve got to stop acting like the fact that blacks are overrepresented in America when it comes to welfare, poverty, unemployment, homelessness, drug addiction, crime, coronavirus—that’s no accident. The whole function of systemic racism is to marginalize black people.”

While Biden may have learned the right words to say in 2020 to avoid accusations of racism, as in his “plan for Black America,” he lacks the policies, actions, or record to back them up. Racism isn’t what you say; it’s what you do. And Biden continues to advocate for racist action worldwide, from criminal penalties for immigration to increased military spending, even after his recent and calculated about-face on prisons and sentencing.

Biden doesn’t really stand with Black Americans. Faced with the clear choice to stand with protesters fighting racist state violence or with the police brutalizing them, it is no surprise that he sought a pseudo-middle ground, saying, “The idea that instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there’s an unarmed person, coming at him with a knife or something, to shoot him in the leg instead of in the heart. There’s a lot of different things [policies] that can change.”

Apparently, Biden thinks the things that can change are limited to what part of an unarmed protester’s body the police should aim to shoot. The only way to read this is that Biden, an enthusiastic proponent of state violence, just wishes the cops would carry it out a bit more politely and with more plausible deniability. Either way, given his long support for racist policies and his blithe dismissal of any questioning of that record, there is no reason to believe Biden in any way stands with the protesters against racist state violence, or that the way the police terrorize Black communities would be different under a Biden administration than under Trump.

Joe Biden has said, “I’m not sorry for anything that I have ever done.” We should take him at his word, and look at his record. Even if a bourgeois politician could or ever would “solve” racism in America, Joe Biden is not that person. He has spent his life fighting for policies that make life worse for Black, Indigenous, and white working-class Americans. Why should anyone believe he will do anything different as president?

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: How Moderna Was Created As A DARPA Secret Project To Weaponize COVID And Its Vaccine For Global Subjugation

Follow The Money: DARPA Under Obama Funded Moderna, Fauci’s Agency Helped Develop Its Vaccine, Trump Accelerated It And Biden Used Government Power To Mandate It Across America

Take whatever you’ve been told, whatever you think you know, about the true origins of COVID-19 and the subsequent bioweapon known as the COVID vaccine, and throw it out the window because the truth is the real conspiracy theory. This is a story about a 2009 secret project called ‘LS18’ imagined by shadowy private venture capital firm Flagship Pioneering, and turned over to DARPA who then created the most visible secret government project in American history. By the time it was over, it would involve the governments of presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Donald Trump and NIAID director Anthony Fauci as the star players responsible for bringing it all to pass. What is LS18? Moderna and the COVID vaccine.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, long before COVID-19, the United States government was pouring money into Moderna’s experimental mRNA platform. DARPA awarded Moderna as much as $25 million in 2013 to develop mRNA medicines capable of responding rapidly to natural and engineered biological threats. BARDA later committed money to Moderna’s Zika program before providing a maximum award of $1.4 billion to advance its COVID vaccine through clinical development and FDA licensure. Moderna’s own federal filings acknowledge that its COVID vaccine was developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases—the agency directed by Anthony Fauci from 1984 through 2022. The government was not standing outside Moderna’s laboratory waiting to evaluate a privately developed product. Government scientists participated in its development. Government agencies funded the trials. The government financed manufacturing. The government purchased the doses. Government officials promoted the injections, and government policies created demand. Federal liability protections shielded the manufacturers. This was not a normal relationship between a government regulator and a private pharmaceutical company. This was an integrated government/corporate MAFIA-style operation.

This was never simply the story of one vaccine or one pharmaceutical company. It’s the all-too true story of what happens when government, medicine, secret military research, corporate profit, media propaganda and emergency authority merge into a single apparatus. It is literally the greatest scandal in American history, and the most deadly coordinated global attack ever conceived and carried out.

  • Trump’s Operation Warp Speed supplied the money, military organization and unprecedented acceleration.
  • Fauci and NIAID supplied the scientific partnership, institutional authority and public-health messaging.
  • Moderna supplied the commercial product and collected billions in revenue.
  • Biden supplied the mandates, employment pressure and federal enforcement.
  • The media portrayed questioning as dangerous misinformation.
  • The pharmaceutical companies received sky-high profits and liability protection.

What did the American people get? Plenty. We received endlessly-shifting bogus guidance, arbitrary restrictions, economic devastation, coerced medical decisions and endless demands to trust officials who repeatedly resisted scrutiny. People who dared to oppose the Moderna machine were blocked, censored, ridiculed and deplatformed. When it was all over and the dust settled, not a single person in government took responsibility for their actions. Delay, Deny, Defend. Today we follow the money trail, you won’t like where it leads, but it will lead you to the truth whether you can receive it or not.

THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: The Point Of No Return

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Great White Throne Is Coming, the Books Will Be Opened, and Every Sinner Without Jesus Christ Will Face the Second Death With No Hope of Deliverance or Escape

The Great White Throne Judgment is the last courtroom, the final reckoning and the ultimate point of no return for the unsaved dead. Everyone standing there has already rejected God’s salvation, and no one will leave that throne justified. The books will be opened, every hidden work exposed and every excuse stripped away as sinners are judged according to their works. Death and hell will surrender their prisoners, proving that hell is not the final destination but the temporary holding place of the lost until judgment. After sentencing, they will be cast into the lake of fire, which the Bible calls the second death. There will be no advocate, no appeal, no repentance and no second chance—only the righteous judgment of a HOLY God. This will be the point of no return.

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.” Revelation 20:11 (KJB)

This terrifying reality is why we preach the gospel of the grace of God with urgency. During this present Church Age, salvation is freely offered to every sinner who will place his faith in the shed blood, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are not attempting merely to improve society, reform human behavior or make people more religious; we are warning souls to flee from the wrath to come. Every gospel tract, street sermon, missionary journey and personal witness is an opportunity to reach someone before death closes the door forever. The Great White Throne reminds the saved that evangelism is not optional religious activity—it is an urgent rescue mission. The time to believe is now, because there will be no gospel invitation given when the books are opened.

The Bible Believers Sunday Service: The Point Of No Return

The Point Of No Return

I. This Is the Final Judgment of the Unsaved Dead

The Great White Throne takes place after the thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ. It must not be confused with the Judgment Seat of Christ, where saved members of the Body of Christ have their service examined for reward.

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10 (KJB)

The people standing before the Great White Throne are called “the dead.” These are the lost dead of every generation, resurrected to receive their final judgment.

  • “Small and great” means that earthly position will mean nothing.
  • Kings will stand beside beggars.
  • Religious leaders will stand beside atheists.
  • The famous will stand beside the forgotten.
  • Every Christ-rejecting sinner will stand personally before God.

Death is not the end. Every lost person will eventually stand before the Lord Jesus Christ. This doctrine is declared in both Testaments.

“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.” Isaiah 45:22,23 (KJB)

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11 (KJB)

II. There Will Be No Place to Hide

The earth and heaven flee from the face of the One sitting upon the throne. The condemned sinner will have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide and no one behind whom he can conceal himself.

“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” Proverbs 15:3 (KJB)

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” Hebrews 4:11,12 (KJB)

At this judgment there will be:

  • No defense attorney.
  • No excuse accepted.
  • No plea bargain offered.
  • No opportunity for repentance.
  • No second chance to believe the gospel.
  • No appeal from the sentence.

The Great White Throne is the final point of no return.

III. The Books Will Be Opened

“And the books were opened” shows that God maintains a perfect and complete record. Nothing has been forgotten, overlooked or erased. None of it.

Those books contain the record of every:

  • Sin committed.
  • Lie spoken.
  • Evil thought entertained.
  • Opportunity rejected.
  • Gospel invitation refused.
  • Work performed in rebellion against God.

People may hide their sins from family, government, employers and churches, but no one can hide anything from God. All their sin will be paid for, and must be paid for, by themselves for eternity in the Lake of Fire.

IV. The Book of Life Will Be Opened

Alongside the books of works, God opens “the book of life.” This book settles the eternal question. The books demonstrate the sinner’s guilt. The book of life reveals that the sinner never received God’s salvation. The final issue is not whether someone performed religious works, joined a church, received baptism or tried to live a moral life. The determining issue is whether that person belonged to Jesus Christ.

“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15 (KJB)

No one standing at the Great White Throne will be justified by works. Their works will determine the measure of their judgment, but works cannot produce salvation. We are all born in the image of Adam, and only the New Birth can, and will, fix that!

“And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:” Genesis 5:3 (KJB)

“Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” John 3:7 (KJB)

V. Hell Will Deliver Up Its Dead

“And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.” Revelation 20:13 (KJB)

Hell is not the final destination of the lost. It is the present place of conscious punishment where the lost dead await final judgment. At the Great White Throne, hell will surrender its inhabitants. They will be bodily resurrected, brought before God, judged and cast into the lake of fire.

The biblical order is:

  1. The lost person dies.
  2. The soul goes to hell.
  3. The lost dead are resurrected.
  4. They stand before the Great White Throne.
  5. They are judged according to their works.
  6. They are cast into the lake of fire.

VI. The Lake of Fire Is the Second Death

“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” Revelation 20:14 (KJB)

The first death separates the soul from the body. The second death is eternal separation from God in the lake of fire.

The second death is:

  • Conscious.
  • Final.
  • Irreversible.
  • Eternal.
  • The righteous judgment of God against sin.

The lake of fire was not invented by medieval religion. It is the unmistakable teaching of the word of God. Jesus Christ warned about it, and Revelation identifies it as the final destination of everyone whose name is not found in the book of life. In our day, Laodiceans like Kirk Cameron, Rob Bell, John Stott, Brandan Robertson, David Bentley Hart and many others all preach either a universalism salvation or annihilationism, instead of what the word of God so clearly proclaims to be true about the place called Hell.

“We think of God as a just God, he is a just God and we believe that the punishment should fit the crime. Exactly, and so, if the punishment was cruel and unusual punishment that went far beyond the severity of the crime, that would no longer be just. After 10,000 years of anguish and pain and torment and darkness, you’re not one day closer to finding relief. You’re not even one second closer after a billion years. You’re not one second closer to the end.”Kirk Cameron

What Cameron overlooks is that the sinner has sinned against a righteous and holy ETERNAL God who never dies, so the punishment must be eternal. Cameron’s estimation of who God is is far too small, so he rejects eternal conscious torment as the Bible teaches.

VII. This Is Why We Preach the Gospel of Grace

The Great White Throne explains the urgency of evangelism. We do not preach merely to improve people’s temporary lives. We preach because lost souls are heading toward an eternal judgment from which there will be no escape.

The gospel for the Church Age is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ:

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:3,4 (KJB)

Salvation is not found through human works, religious rituals or personal goodness. It is received by believing the gospel and trusting the finished work of Jesus Christ.

This is the ministry committed to the apostle Paul:

“But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:24 (KJB)

Death will no longer threaten us:

“The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” 1 Corinthians 15:26 (KJB)

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 (KJB)

Application

To the Saved

  • Remember what Jesus Christ saved you from. Keep it personal.
  • Stop treating salvation casually, it’s literally life or death.
  • Pray for lost family members and friends.
  • Support missionaries and gospel-preaching ministries.
  • Hand out tracts, witness publicly and preach the gospel plainly.
  • Never substitute politics, social reform or religious activity for the gospel.

To the Preacher

Preach the whole counsel of God. Tell people about the love of God, but do not hide the wrath of God. Preach heaven, but also warn about hell and the lake of fire. A preacher who refuses to warn sinners about judgment is not showing compassion. Biblical compassion tells people the truth while there is still time to be saved.

“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” Hebrews 13:17 (KJB)

“My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.” James 3:1 (KJB)

To the Lost

You are not promised another opportunity. You may dismiss the gospel today, but you will not dismiss the Judge at the Great White Throne.

“For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2 (KJB)

Do not trust your works, church membership, baptism, morality or sincerity. Trust the shed blood and finished work of Jesus Christ.

Closing Challenge

The Great White Throne is coming. The books will be opened. Every lost sinner will be found guilty, and everyone whose name is not found in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire.

For the saved, the question is: Whom are you warning?

For the preacher, the question is: Are you still preaching the gospel plainly?

For the lost, the question is: Will you trust Jesus Christ now, or meet Him later as your Judge?

There will be no gospel invitation at the Great White Throne. There will be no altar call, no opportunity to repent and no second chance to believe. The time to be saved is now.

Five Thousand Years Ago, Did Someone Carve The Stargazer Figurine To Permanently Memorialize A Visit With Alien Beings From Outer Space?

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Could The Five Thousand-Year-Old Stargazer Be An Ancient Portrait Of Alien Visitors Who Descended From The Heavens And Were Worshipped By Early Civilizations As Gods?

What if the face we have come to associate with space aliens is not a modern invention at all? What if it is a memory? Carved from white marble thousands of years ago, the mysterious figure known as The Stargazer possesses one of the most immediately recognizable silhouettes imaginable: an enormous hairless head, a long narrow neck, a small angular body and a face that looks startlingly similar to modern depictions of extraterrestrial visitors.

“And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.” Zechariah 5:2 (KJB)

The Cleveland Museum of Art dates its Stargazer to approximately 3000 BC and identifies it as a female figure from ancient Anatolia. The deeply incised pubic triangle identifies the figure as female, but everything above the waist looks strikingly unlike an ordinary human being. Its maker deliberately exaggerated the head, minimized the body and tilted the face upward toward the heavens. That upward gaze gave the figure its modern name, but it may also contain the key to its ancient identity. The Stargazer appears to be looking toward the place from which its subject came. Similar figures belong to what archaeologists call the Kilia type, named after the Turkish village where examples were discovered. Archaeological work at Kulaksızlar in western Anatolia uncovered evidence that these strange marble figures were being manufactured between approximately 4500 and 4250 BC. That places the tradition long before the great monuments of dynastic Egypt and deep within the shadowy opening chapters of recorded human civilization. Imagine what that possibility means.

Thousands of years before science-fiction movies, television programs, flying-saucer magazines or alleged alien-abduction accounts, ancient craftsmen were carving pale, hairless humanoids with oversized heads, elongated necks and strange faces. The resemblance to the beings now called “Greys” is not hidden in some obscure detail. It is the first thing the modern observer notices. Perhaps the familiar alien image was not invented in the twentieth century. Perhaps it was rediscovered.

Ancient artists did not always create fantasy. They also recorded kings, warriors, animals, gods and important events from the world around them. If early people encountered beings descending from the sky, they would not have possessed words such as “extraterrestrial,” “interdimensional” or “advanced nonhuman intelligence.” They would have called them gods, messengers or visitors from the heavens. They would have feared them. They would have obeyed them. They may even have worshipped them. The Stargazer could represent one of those visitors.

Its tiny body and enormous head suggest a being whose intelligence, rather than physical strength, was its defining characteristic. Its upward-turned face connects it visually with the sky. Its female form may indicate that these beings appeared in more than one sex—or that the ancient sculptor was representing a particular visitor remembered by the surrounding community. Most intriguing of all, these figures were apparently important enough to be reproduced, transported and deliberately preserved. This was not a momentary doodle scratched into a wall. Marble required labor, skill and purpose. Whoever carved The Stargazer intended its likeness to survive. And survive it did.

The modern world looks at this ancient face and immediately sees an alien because, on some deep cultural level, we already recognize the form. That recognition raises an extraordinary possibility: humanity may have encountered such beings before, and the strange visitors appearing in modern UFO accounts may be returning actors in a drama that began near the dawn of civilization. The King James Bible provides a framework for understanding how such encounters could occur. Scripture never teaches that human beings are the only intelligent creatures in existence. It describes angels, cherubim, principalities, powers, spiritual rulers and sons of God operating beyond the ordinary human realm.

Some could appear so completely human that their true identity remained hidden.

“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews 13:2 (KJB)

Genesis records something even more astonishing. Before the Flood, beings identified as the sons of God entered the human world and produced offspring with the daughters of men:

“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.” Genesis 6:4 (KJB)

The Bible therefore presents direct interaction between human beings and nonhuman intelligences as historical reality. It describes a populated supernatural realm capable of entering, influencing and even physically interfering with conditions upon the earth. What modern culture calls “outer space,” the Bible calls the heavens and high places.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12 (KJB)

If beings descended from those high places in antiquity, early civilizations would naturally have interpreted them as gods. Their knowledge would have appeared supernatural. Their ability to travel through the heavens would have looked divine. Their arrival could have given birth to entire systems of idolatry built around the worship of beings that were powerful, ancient and nonhuman—but were not God. The Stargazer may be the preserved face of one of those beings.

That possibility also casts the modern UFO phenomenon in a radically different light. Perhaps humanity is not approaching its first contact with intelligent visitors. Perhaps we are being prepared for renewed contact with beings that have interacted with mankind before. Their return could be presented as the greatest revelation in human history. They may claim to have created mankind, guided ancient civilizations, inspired world religions and returned at this decisive moment to lead humanity into its next stage of evolution. The world would fall at their feet almost overnight.

The Bible warns that supernatural appearance is not proof of divine authority:

“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14 (KJB)

The apostle Paul went even further, warning Christians to reject any messenger from heaven who attempts to replace the gospel of Jesus Christ:

“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8 (KJB)

The Stargazer may therefore be far more than an enigmatic piece of prehistoric art. It may represent an ancient encounter, a visitor from the heavens and the face of a being remembered as a god by people who possessed no other language with which to describe it. Its head is turned upward. Its eyes are fixed upon the heavens. Its strange body resembles the alien visitors of modern imagination with uncanny precision. Perhaps The Stargazer was never looking at the stars, perhaps it was looking home.
