Are we the only inhabited planet in God's Universe?

I think not. Why is it so hard to imagine that out in space are multitudes of God’s creations which habit other galaxies, other solar systems? We sit and watch science fiction regarding space battles in far away planetary places and we can not see that it could well be true. No so much the wars any more. For God said the war was over in Heaven. There will come a time when we will get to see all of heaven and all that God created in the entire universe and

Ephesians 3:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named

So with that for variety, I think we will have plenty to admire and praise God for. God said

Revelation 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

Since we know that He wasn’t talking about Yeshua who was able to open the book, there is indication that there are other “men” in heaven. They are also called every creature, which gives you the understanding that they are not all looking as we do.

Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

It almost sounds like the entire universe that God has created has been populated with many multitudes of creatures, men of heaven, as he says from one end of heaven to the other. The entire universe has been well informed of our creation and the controversy with regard to the acusations of Satan. God asked His other creations if they have every seen the like, where God would lay down His life for His creations. Had they even heard such a thing?

Deuteronomy 4:32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?

Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

By all these verses, it is to see that we are not alone in the universe, and that God has created beings that are in his universe and not just on this planet. When all things are new, we will be able to go visit these places that they live and meet with these beings that God has created. I also think that we are the only planet that sinned.

Luke 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

Well, we know there is no one other than Yeshua that had needed no repentance on this earth so that rules out this planet that Yeshua was talking about. On the other planets that are inhabited, they may have never sinned and are just persons and needed no repentance, thereby be the ones that are fulfilling God’s words. It wasn’t that they were not being accused of lots of things by Satan. They were just righteously following God’s Law and never deviated from it. Satan was boldly thrown out of heaven and those that needed no repentance were no longer being pestered, accused before God any more. And they that live in heaven rejoiced.

Rev 12:10 for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night 12 Therefore, rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them, Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.

The war in heaven is won by God and Satan lost. The issue was over, and the devil and His angels are thrown out. We know that when Job was alive, that Satan was still allowed in heaven’s courts. Was it the death of Yeshua on the cross that resolved it in Heaven to have nothing more to do with Satan? No place was found in heaven for Satan. This earth is Satan’s last strong hold. We are the final battle ground in this war. God will win this war here also. Is it resolved in your own heart, and are you wanting Satan cast out of you forever too?

Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

And there IS a verse that says THE WHOLE CREATION groans and travails together... so IF there is such life elsewhere, they are in the same situation spiritually as we???
The marring of one, hurts perfect beings in their heart for us and what we are going through.

Where do the Torah & Prophets speak of planets?

Does the Bible even say that we live on a planet?

Does the Torah distinguish between what we live on versus what we see in the sky?

(serious questions)
Psalm 19:1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.

Amos 5:8 He who made the Pleiades and Orion And changes deep darkness into morning, Who also darkens day into night, Who calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the surface of the earth, The LORD is His name.

None of the words in scripture specifically say, or indicate, that there are other beings in the universe, largely because those who penned the words had no way of knowing such information. After all these years, we do not even know!

This debate is going to be as problematic as describing the colour red to a blind person!

Something to consider:

The Universe is Infinite, according to many scientist over thousands of years. Now, if we believe it is truly infinite, is not presumptuous and selfish to think that we are the only living beings around?

It would be more selfish to go beyond what God has said Karin. God has not said he created life on other planets.

I kind of wonder about what's written in the book of Enoch regarding what the fallen angels taught mankind Making weapons for example - how did they know about that? Why would they have known about that? Or the use of cosmetics? Or the 'smiting an embryo in the womb'?
It's nice to think if there are other inhabited planets that they may never have sinned, or 'fallen', but where did this sort of knowledge come from? Did the fallen angels come up with it on their own, or did they learn it 'out there' somewhere?

"Revelation 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
Since we know that He wasn’t talking about Yeshua who was able to open the book, there is indication that there are other “men” in heaven. They are also called every creature, which gives you the understanding that they are not all looking as we do."


None of those other "men" were able to open the book - only Yeshua could.

Very low chance we're alone in the universe.
In what regard and by whose measure. If you mean that there is likely another biological self aware culture out there I would say the odds would depend on the nature of what you consider to be the universe. If you consider that universe to include just the material that is expanding from what is called the Big Bang, I would suggest the odds are quite slim that another such very precise circumstance has occurred. If you are speaking of a universe that is infinite then the chances would be quite good. If you are speaking of God, then I of course think there is no doubt and odds are not necessary .

He also didn't state anything about physics, or why certain fish deeper in the ocean have no eyes. There is plenty of stuff NOT stated in the Bible that WE discovered through His amazing Grace. He created everything, and we haven't seen all of it. We discover something new everyday that is stated no where in the Bible.

Does that mean it doesn't exist because it wasn't in the Bible? No.

So... let's just make up fanciful stuff, have it be true because science has made some discoveries, and imply that anyone who doesn't embrace the stuff we've made up is selfish? Not my style Karin.

I only find the former point terrifying. The latter is filled with hope and wonder.

Have you read or seen any of the research done on Mars? It's pretty interesting. They keep discovering that the planet once had conditions to sustain life on it, but not anymore.

Did you hear about the planet that imploded and formed a black hole that shot gold and plutonium across the universe?

My point is, God's creation is well beyond our comprehension, to assume ANYTHING is the selfish part. That's what I meant, although I will agree that it didn't read that way lol I will try my best to post a little more clearly in the future.

We will never know all of God's creation. To concede one way or the other without us ever going to the ends of the universe is like saying apples fall because the Earth was hungry and leaving it at that.

It's a ridiculous statement.

The universe is infinite, all we can do is have an open mind.

Isn't it :) I think he may have been thinking about the aliens in scary movies as opposed to just other humans on another planet lol

Does lead to a great SiFi franchise though :)
