The ET (extraterrestial) label is an attempt to reinvent themselves... ...within our space age mindset...

This is an interesting thread but to keep on point...
It only says a serpent tempted Eve. It does not say what type and it does not say who that serpent was. Anything else is conjecture.
The serpent who seduced Eve is clearly identified in several places...
...here is one...
Revelation 12:9 "...the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
Best check you facts before you post.

Excellent post.

How can we be sure they aren't labeled correctly now? A wheel of fire seems like a primitive way of describing an advanced technology. Not to mention the UFO like objects that appear in historical paintings. Why would a spirit need a ship?
I don't doubt the possibility of the Angel/Demon/ET connection, it seems plausible. But were we right then or are we right now?

I think this is what is happening...
...spirits don't need technology but their Nephilim creations do...
...they are biological creatures like us that have been bred up for the purpose...
...I think that the stories of creatures being bred up is probably true....
...where this is happening is uncertain but underground locations and even the Moon or Mars are suggested as locations.
I think the SciFi industries 'Alien Hypothesis' has made us open to the ET identity...
...but they are just the pre and post-flood Nephilim....
...spinning a story about being from Orion or somewhere else....
...and they have convinced heaps of people too.
Genesis was written in the 10th-5th century BC.
Revelation was written in 68-95 AD.
That's still conjecture. You assume the two authors are in reference to the same exact entity because they are in the same book and apparently bad.
I'm not trying to get into a flame war here. So let's move on.
..."The Heavens" translates to the sky, no? I think that's the smoking gun right there...
...I am afraid the universe is devoid of life. That's why I don't even bother with the UFO part of ATS. Because I know it's all figments of wild imaginations ...Blue_Jay33

#3...the 3rd Heaven, where the Throne-of-God is, where Angels began
It's my conclusion, the 3rd Heaven is actually another dimension, outside this observable & made-of-matter Universe.

If you really examine it, you'll see that it's two-sided. One can argue that ETs are demons/angels or that demons/angels are ETs. It doesn't matter. We all agree that there are both gentle and vicious ET races. We can also agree that demons/angels fit that same bill. There's no evidence pointing to which one is more true than the other.
Another thing you should consider... ...John wrote Revelation while on the island of Patmos... ...he was a prisoner there... ...and he wrote the work using about 800 symbols from the Old Testament documents...
The Book of Job is arguably the oldest document in the western canon (older than Genesis)
I find it hard to imagine this John actually writing anything, he is alleged to have been a laborer and fishermen who spoke Galilean Aramaic. Upon his arrest with Peter, it was noted that John was an uncultured illiterate.
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. ...
The likelihood of John composing the Apocalypse would imply that he had profound knowledge of of oriental myths and religions.
Coupled with numerous passages being originally written in Greek it would be rather stretching the imagination to the extreme to envisage john writing anything more than his name.
Father M E Boismard in 1966 demonstrated that John was killed along with his brother James of Zebedee in 44 AD.
Since the gospel was dated to 100 ad how is it possible that the illiterate Galilean fisherman wrote anything as he was dead 56 years earlier ?
