Unusual births
There are 8 unusual births in the 1769 King James Version bible.
Four of the seven show that God knows about DNA. There are 5 UFO
sightings associated with four unusual births. I will list the
unusual birth followed by what it says about DNA, then the UFO
sighting or sightings that apply.
Prophecy of Jesus's birth.
EXO 20:19
And they said unto Moses, (After LORD gave the 10 commandments)
Speak thou with us, and we will hear:
but let not God speak with us,
lest we die.
DEU 18:16
According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb
in the day of the assembly, saying,
Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God,
neither let me see this great fire any more,
that I die not.
DEU 18:17
And the LORD said unto me,
They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
DEU 18:18
I will raise them up a Prophet (Jesus) from among their brethren,
like unto thee,
and will put my words in his mouth; (# JOH 17:8 8:28)
and he shall speak unto them
all that I shall command him. (# JOH 12:49)
DEU 18:19
And it shall come to pass,
that whosoever will not hearken unto my words
which he shall speak in my name, (# MAT 1:23)
I will require it of him. (# EZE 3:18 # MAT 25:31-34,41)
ISA 6:1
In the year that king Uzziah died
I (Isaiah) saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne,
high and lifted up, (# EZE 1:15,18-19 # 2KI 2:11 # REV 4:1-6)
and his train filled the temple./ (# 1KI 10:02 # NUM 12:5)
ISA 7:14
Therefore the LORD himself shall give you a sign;
Behold,
a virgin (# LUK 1:34) shall conceive, and bear a son, (X,Y)
and shall call his name Immanual. (# MAT 1:23 # LUK 1:31)
ISA 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son (# REV 12:5) is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince (# DAN 8:11) of Peace. (# DEU 18:18)
MIC 5:2
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, (# MAT 2:1,5-6,9-11)
though thou be little among the thousands of Judah,
yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me
that is to be ruler in Israel; (# REV 2:27 12:5 17:14)
whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

Artificial conception by an angel in Nazareth, but Jesus was
born in Bethlehem. (# LUK 2:4)
LUK 1:26
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel (# LUK 1:38)
was sent from God (# DAN 9:23) unto a city of Galilee,
named Nazareth,
LUK 1:27
To a virgin (# ISA 7:14) espoused to a man whose name was Joseph,
of the house of David; (# LUK 2:4,1-7)
and the virgin's name was Mary. (X,X no Y chromosomes)
LUK 1:28
And the angel came in unto her, and said,
Hail, thou that are highly favoured,
the Lord is with thee: (pregnant)
blessed art thou among women.
LUK 1:29
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying,
(# GEN 16:1-2 1SAM 1:11 # LUK 1:38 handmaid = female)
and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
LUK 1:30
And the angel said unto her,
Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
LUK 1:31
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb,
and bring forth a son, (X and Y chromosomes)
and shalt call his name JESUS.
LUK 1:32
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne
of his father David:
LUK 1:33
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever;
and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (# DAN 2:35,44 7:27)
LUK 1:34
Then said Mary unto the angel,
How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
LUK 1:35
And the angel answered and said unto her,
The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,
and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:
therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee
shall be called the Son of God.
LUK 1:36
And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son
in her old age: (# GEN 18:12,10 17:17, see pg. 31 this web page)
and this is the sixth month with her,
who was called barren.
(hath also conceived = Mary and Elisabeth now pregnant)
LUK 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
LUK 1:38
And Mary said,
Behold the handmaid of the Lord;
be it unto me according to thy word.
And the angel departed from her.
The virgin Mary cannot understand how she could have a baby
without having sex. (# LUK 1:34 / seeing I know not a man?) Most
women do not have a Y chromosome, and those that do (46 chr. X,X,Y)
cannot reproduce. Obviously, zero percent of Jesus's DNA came from
Joseph. But I think that zero percent of Jesus's DNA came from Mary.

LUK 2:3
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
LUK 2:4
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth,
into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem;
(because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
LUK 2:7
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him
in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger;
because there was no room for them in the inn.
MAT 2:1
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea
in the days of Herod the king, (# MAT 2:5-6,7,16,13,19 # MIC 5:2)
behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
MAT 2:2
Saying,/ (The wise men are now in Jerusalem, 6 miles north of
Bethlehem, where the kings palace is at.)
What is it that at long distances, 1 to 3 miles, looks like a
star and can do everything described in "The star of Bethlehem
event"? Does the bible say we should see the very same star-like
objects in the latter days? And at the second coming? Stars, planets,
comets, and asteroids appear to move across the sky in a east to west
direction, they do not move directly south. And the wise men's journey
following the "star" was 6 miles, which would take 3 to 4 hours, look
at a map.
MAT 2:9
When they had heard the king, they departed; (from Jerusalem)
and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, (# MAT 2:1-2)
went before them, till it came and stood over
where the young child was. (south to Bethlehem)
MAT 2:10
When they saw the star,
they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
MAT 2:11
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child
with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: /
This was the second group of people in the bible directed to go
and see Jesus. The wise men saw Jesus long after the day he was born,
2 years. The shepherds saw him the very day of his first coming, his
day of birth.
LUK 2:8
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by night. (# LUK 2:7 Jesus born)
LUK 2:9
And, lo,
the angel of the Lord came upon them, (# NUM 12:5 # JOB 38:1)
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: (# EZE 10:4)
and they were sore afraid.
LUK 2:10
And the angel said unto them, Fear not:
for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people. (# JOH 14:6 # DAN 7:14)
LUK 2:11
For unto you is born this day in the city of David (# LUK 2:4)
a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord./
The phrase "the glory of the LORD" means the same thing as "the
pillar of the cloud" at Numbers 12:5 in 35 of 36 locations.
NUM 12:5
The LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud,
and stood in the door/ (# EZE 10:4,18-19 11:1)

Some say that the star of Bethlehem was an astronomical event.
That is an exploding sun, a comet, one or more of our neighboring
planets, or a meteorite.
Using two maps, one a world atlas the other a map of old
palestine at the time of Jesus, the distance from Jerusalem to
Bethlehem is 6 miles. Bethlehem is predominantly south of Jerusalem.
If it takes 30 minutes to walk a mile, they would have made the
journey from Jerusalem after talking to the king to Bethlehem in
approximately 3 to 4 hours. The stars and other astronomical objects
move across the sky from the east to the west, the stars do not travel
from north to south. Furthermore the stars at 32 degrees north
latitude move at a rate of 885 miles per hour or 15 miles per minute
ground speed.
When you look up at a star, you can only approximately know
within 10 miles where it is at. You cannot without instruments know
what town it is over, much less which building it is over. This star
guided them south, at walking speed, then it stopped. It was close
enough to the ground for the wise men to pick, on the first try, the
exact house that they were being directed to, the house where Jesus
was at. (# MAT 2:11) Realize some time has passed since Jesus was
born. (# LUK 2:7 # MAT 1:25,18-25).
The next unusual birth is the birth of John the baptist. Although
there is not a UFO directly related to this unusual birth, when Mary
was told that she was pregnant with Jesus the angel also knew about
Elisabeth being pregnant with John the baptist. Elisabeth was past the
age of having children, as was Sarah when she gave birth to Issac.
This unusual birth has been accomplished by man's infertlity doctors
since 1992.
EXO 23:22
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice,
and do all that I speak;
then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, (# LEV 26:3-4,7-8)
and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
EXO 23:26
There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren,
in thy land:
the number of thy days I will fulfil.
LUK 1:6
And they were both righteous before God,
walking (# DEU 5:33 # JOH 6:66) in all the commandments
and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
LUK 1:7
And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren,
and they both were now well stricken in years.
LUK 1:8
And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office
before God in the order of his course,
LUK 1:9
According to the custom of the priest's office,
his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple
of the Lord.
LUK 1:10
And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the
time of incense.
LUK 1:11
And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the
right side of the altar of incense.
LUK 1:12
And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled,
and fear fell upon him.
LUK 1:13
But the angel said unto him,
Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard;
and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son,
and thou shalt call his name John.
LUK 1:14
And thou shalt have joy and gladness;
and many shall rejoice at his birth.
LUK 1:15
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord,
and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink;
and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost,
even from his mother's womb.
LUK 1:16
And many of the children of Israel shall he turn
to the Lord their God.
LUK 1:17
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias,
to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,
and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just;
to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
PAGE 29

LUK 1:18
And Zacharias said unto the angel,
Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man,
and my wife well stricken in years.
LUK 1:19
And the angel answering said unto him,
I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God;
and am sent to speak unto thee,
and to shew thee these glad tidings.
LUK 1:20
And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak,
until the day that these things shall be performed,
because thou believest not my words,
which shall be fulfilled in their season.
LUK 1:21
And the people waited for Zacharias,
and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
LUK 1:22
And when he came out, he could not speak unto them:
and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple:
for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless./
LUK 1:24
And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived,/
LUK 1:57
Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered;
and she brought forth a son.
There are two instances where women were past menopause, past the
age of getting pregnant, and God made them pregnant. Elisabeth being
pregnant with John the Baptist is the second example. The first is
Sarah being pregnant with Isaac, Abraham was the father. This unusual
birth has been accomplished by infertlity doctors since 1992.
GEN 17:5
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram,
but thy name shall be Abraham;
for a father of many nations have I made thee.
GEN 17:15
And God said unto Abraham,
As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai,
but Sarah shall her name be.
GEN 17:16
And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her:
yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations;
kings of people shall be of her.
GEN 17:17
Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed,
and said in his heart,
Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old?
and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
GEN 17:18
And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
GEN 17:19
And God said,
Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed;
and thou shalt call his name Isaac:
and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting
covenant, and with his seed after him.
GEN 17:20
And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee:
Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful,
and will multiply him exceedingly;
twelve princes shall he beget,
and I will make him a great nation.
GEN 17:21
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac,
which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time
in the next year.
GEN 17:22
And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

GEN 18:1
And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre:
and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
GEN 18:2
And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo,
three men stood by him:
and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door,
and bowed himself toward the ground,
GEN 18:3
And said,
My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away,
I pray thee, from thy servant:
GEN 18:8
And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed,
and set it before them;
and he stood by them under the tree,
and they did eat.
[2 angels and The LORD (# GEN 18:1-3,22 19:1 # EXO 24:9-12)]
GEN 18:9
And they said unto him,
Where is Sarah thy wife?
And he said,
Behold, in the tent.
GEN 18:10
And he said,
I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life;
and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son.
And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
GEN 18:11
Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age;
and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
GEN 18:12
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying,
After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure,
my lord being old also?
GEN 18:13
And the LORD said unto Abraham,
Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying,
Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
GEN 18:14
Is any thing too hard for the LORD?
At the time appointed I will return unto thee,
according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
GEN 18:15
Then Sarah denied, saying,
I laughed not; for she was afraid.
And he said,
Nay; but thou didst laugh.
GEN 18:16
And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom:
and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
GEN 18:19
For I know him,
that he will command his children and his household
after him, (# GEN 26:5 # DEU 6:6-7)
and they shall keep the way of the LORD,
to do justice and judgment;
GEN 18:22
And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom:
but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
GEN 18:33
And the LORD went his way,
as soon as he had left communing with Abraham:
and Abraham returned unto his place.
GEN 19:1
And there came two angels to Sodom at even;/
GEN 19:3
And he pressed upon them greatly;
and they turned in unto him,
and entered into his house;
and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread,
and they did eat.
GEN 21:1
And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said,
and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
GEN 21:2
For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age,
at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
GEN 21:3
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him,
whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
PAGE 31

GEN 21:6
And Sarah said,
God hath made me to laugh,
so that all that hear will laugh with me.
After Genesis 6:3 the lifetime of man was reduced to 120 years,
as it is today. Did women go through menopause at 45 to 50 years of
age like it is today? # Genesis 18:11 says Sarah was very old
(89 years) and the normal manner of women ceased to be with Sarah,
which is the monthly cycle of women. Both Abraham and Sarah laughed
when the LORD told them that he was going to make Sarah pregnant. And
they commented 3 times about their old age. In Genesis 18:22 what is
described as 3 men (# GEN 18:2) changes into 2 men that are angels
that went to Sodom. And the third "man" is actually the LORD.
SCIENCE NEWS: Feb. 13, 1993; Vol. 143; No. 7; page 100
Title: BRAVE NEW BIOLOGY: GRANNY GIVES BIRTH
Quotes:
"The team began by recruiting 14 healthy women in their 50s who
wanted to have a baby but who had already passed through menopause.
The researchers treated the women with sex hormones that prepare the
uterus for pregnancy. Next, they collected eggs from younger women.
Using standard in vitro techniques, the scientists mixed donor eggs
with sperm obtained from each recruit's husband. The team then
transferred the embryos from the petri dish to the womb. Eight of the
14 women became pregnant, the team reports in the Feb. 6 LANCET. One
women suffered a miscarriage in the seventh week of pregnancy, four
women have given birth to healthy babies, and three women still
pregnant continue to progress normally."
"Although ethicists have plenty to say about the social
issues surrounding the procedure, IVF experts say the new
report suggests there's no obvious age limit to such pregnancies."
Both Sarah and Elisabeth were past the age of having babies. But
they also had another medical problem, they had not become pregnant
during their fertile years from age 14 to age 50.
(barren: Sarah # GEN 11:30 16:1; Elisabeth # LUK 1:7)
Why didn't Abraham and Sarah produce any children for 38 years?
The problem wasn't with Abraham. Abraham and Hagar had a baby. The
name of the child was Ishmael.
GEN 16:4
And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: (# GEN 16:1-3)
and when she saw that she had conceived,
her mistress was despised in her eyes./
Hagar was already pregnant when she talked to the angel.
Something interesting is that the LORD knew Ishmael's genetics by
commanding the angel to say that Ishmael will be a
wild man. (# GEN 16:12)
GEN 16:11
And the angel of the LORD said unto her,
Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son,
and shalt call his name Ishmael;
because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
GEN 16:12
And he will be a wild man;
his hand will be against every man,
and every man's hand against him;
and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

When the LORD first told Abraham about the birth of Isaac, and
the promise of many descendants, Abraham asked:
GEN 15:8
And he said,
LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
GEN 15:9
And he said unto him,
Take me an heifer of three years old,
and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old,
and a turtledove, and a young
pigeon.

And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst,
and laid each piece one against another:
but the birds divided he not.

Today (# 2KI 2:11 # ISA 66:15) often people see a UFO (vehicle
with pilots inside) at night that glows flying slowly. Then the UFO
will drop out of the ship (# EZE 30:9) another object that is smaller
and it is also glowing. The smaller object, a remote device, is
uninhabited and self propelled. It has sensors on it and/or collects
samples remotely.
The pieces of the heifer, the goat and the ram were at most 3
feet wide and the remote device passed between the pieces to take
samples or to analyse the sacrifice.
There are 2 examples of remote devices. This next device is a

Now for the last 5 unusual births. Since Isaac was the product of
the previous unusual birth, the unusual birth of Isaac's first born
children will be next.
GEN 25:20
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife,
the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram,
the sister to Laban the Syrian.
GEN 25:21
And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren:
and the LORD was intreated of him,
and Rebekah his wife conceived.
(# LUK 20:37-38 # EXO 3:1-6 6:3 # JOH 17:3 14:28)
GEN 25:22
And the children struggled together within her; and she said,
If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
GEN 25:23
And the LORD said unto her,
Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people
shall be separated from thy bowels;
and the one people shall be stronger than the other people;
and the elder shall serve the younger.
GEN 25:24
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled,
behold, there were twins in her womb.
GEN 25:25
And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment;
and they called his name Esau.
GEN 25:26
And after that came his brother out,
and his hand took hold on Esau's heel;
and his name was called Jacob:
and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
GEN 25:27
And the boys grew:
and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field;
and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents./
GEN 27:11
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother,
Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:/
GEN 27:16
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands,
and upon the smooth of his neck:/
GEN 27:23
And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy,
as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him./ (# GEN 25:23-34)
PAGE 34

Isaac married Rebekah when he was 40 years old. Rebekah couldn't
bare children during her first 19 years as Isaac's wife. At age 59
Isaac prays for the LORD to "open his wife Rebekah's womb" or heal
her. (# GEN 25:21) Rebekah had her first babies when Isaac was 60
years old.
The LORD must have known about the genetics of Esau and Jacob to
know that they were not identical twins. He knew from their DNA that
one baby would be stronger than the other. Also he knew that there
were two babies in Rebekah's womb, rather than one. I get the idea
that Rebekah had more than one trip to "the doctor".
There are no UFO sightings linked to this unusual birth. Although
Jacob does talk with the LORD multiple times and in # Genesis 28:10-22
has a dream about a ladder that is a metaphor for the pillar of the
cloud. And in # GEN 35:9-15 God speaks with Jacob, and changes his
name. Also when God leaves, the LORD is lifted up. (# GEN 35:13) Then
Jacob makes a pillar for a memorial. He also made a pillar after his
dream at # GEN 28:22.
Next is the unusual birth of Samson.
JUD 13:2
And there was a certain man of Zorah,
of the family of the Danites,
whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.
JUD 13:3
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman,
and said unto her,
Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not:
but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
JUD 13:4
Now therefore beware, I pray thee,
and drink not wine nor strong drink, (pg. a/9)
and eat not any unclean thing:
JUD 13:5
For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son;
and no razor shall come on his head:
for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb:
and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the
Philistines.
JUD 13:6
Then the woman came and told her husband, saying,
A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the
countenance of an angel of God, very terrible:
but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:/
JUD 13:15
And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee,
let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
JUD 13:16
And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah,
Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread:
and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering,
thou must offer it unto the LORD.
For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD./
JUD 13:19
So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering,
and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD:
and the angel did wonderously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.
JUD 13:20
For it came to pass,
when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar,
that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar.
And Manoah and his wife looked on it,
and fell on their faces to the ground.
JUD 13:21
But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his
wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD./

Unusual births
This is the only unusual birth where the mother is told not to
drink alcohol. We just recently learned that alcohol interferes with
the babies development. This angel knew that the mother drinking
alcohol during her pregnancy causes medical problems for the child
2,300 years before our scientists knew it.
The "beam of light" is called the flame of the altar. The beam of
light also consumed the sacrifices. (pages 53-54 section C 3.)
2KI 4:14
And he said,
What then is to be done for her?
And Gehazi answered,
Verily she hath no child,
and her husband is old.
2KI 4:15
And he said,
Call her.
And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
2KI 4:16
And he said,
About this season, according to the time of life,
thou shalt embrace a son.
And she said,
Nay, my lord, thou man of God,
do not lie unto thine handmaid.
2KI 4:17
And the woman conceived,
and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her,
according to the time of life.
This unusual birth does not say anything about DNA.
2KI 2:1
And it came to pass,
when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind,
that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2KI 2:7
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went,
and stood to view afar off:
and they two stood by Jordan.
2KI 2:8
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together,
and smote the waters,
and they were divided hither and thither,
so that they two went over on dry ground.
(# EXO 14:21-22,19,24-25)
2KI 2:9
And it came to pass, when they were gone over,
that Elijah said unto Elisha,
Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee.
And Elisha said, I pray thee,
let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
2KI 2:10
And he said,
Thou hast asked a hard thing:
nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee,
it shall be so unto thee;
but if not, it shall not be so.
2KI 2:11
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that,
behold,
there appeared a chariot of fire,
and horses of fire, (Metaphore: Engines of Fire)
and parted them both asunder;
and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. (# JOB 38:1)
2KI 2:12
And Elisha saw it, and he cried,
My father, my father, the chariot of Israel,
and the horsemen thereof.
(occupants; like # EZE 1:26-28 # ISA 6:1 # REV 4:1-6)
And he saw him no more:
and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
2KI 2:13
He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him,
and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;

2KI 2:14
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him,
and smote the waters, and said,
Where is the LORD God of Elijah?
and when he also had smitten the waters,
they parted hither and thither:
and Elisha went over.
Elisha was present when Elijah was picked up by a UFO. Why does
it say there were "horses of fire"? Well, well, # 2KI 2:11 is the
thoughts of the Narrator(# MAL 3:16) and # 2KI 2:12 is the thoughts of
Elisha saying what he saw. Why does't Elisha say he saw "horses of
Fire"? Is the Narrator trying to give us the idea of "engines of
fire"?
Elijah was not seen again until the transfiguration, some 900
years later. (# MAT 17:3,1-9)
The mantle of Elijah was a symbol like Moses's rod, and these had
no power in them to do anything. All of the miracles were done by God
the Father by scientific methods, conclusively.
This next one dosn't talk about UFOs or DNA.
1SAM 1:5
But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion;
for he loved Hannah:
but the LORD had shut up her womb.
1SAM 1:9
So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh,
and after they had drunk.
Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple
of the LORD.
1SAM 1:10
And she was in bitterness of soul,
and prayed unto the LORD,
and wept sore.
1SAM 1:11
And she vowed a vow, and said,
O LORD of hosts,
if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid,
and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid,
but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child,
then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life,
and there shall no razor come upon his head.
1SAM 1:12
And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD,
that Eli marked her mouth.
1SAM 1:13
Now Hannah, she spake in her heart;
only her lips moved,
but her voice was not heard:
therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
1SAM 1:14
And Eli said unto her,
How long wilt thou be drunken?
put away thy wine from thee.
1SAM 1:15
And Hannah answered and said,
No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit:
I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink,
but have poured out my soul before the LORD.
1SAM 1:16
Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial:
for out of the abundance of my complaint
and grief have I spoken hitherto.
1SAM 1:17
Then Eli answered and said,
Go in peace:
and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition
that thou hast asked of him.
1SAM 1:18
And she said,
Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight.
So the woman went her way,
and did eat,
and her countenance was no more sad.
1SAM 1:19
And they rose up in the morning early,
and worshipped before the LORD,
and returned, and came to their house to Ramah:
and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife;
and the LORD remembered her.
1SAM 1:20
Wherefore it came to pass,
when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived,
that she bare a son,
and called his name Samuel, saying,
Because I have asked him of the LORD.
