We are Aliens!
Rejoice!
How can you not rejoice if Jesus freely gave you His Joy?
God is an Alien, Jesus is an Alien, and those that follow Jesus are Aliens!
...
There is an old saying “The Elohims are coming!”
Now the word Alien is an old Biblical word definition below:
גּיר גּר
gêr gêyr
gare, gare
From H1481; properly a guest; by implication a foreigner: - alien, sojourner, stranger.
In Greek you have 2 definitions
ἀπαλλοτριόω
apallotrioō
ap-al-lot-ree-o'-o
From G575 and a derivative of G245; to estrange away, that is, (passively and figuratively) to be non participant: - alienate, be alien.
ἀλλότριος
allotrios
al-lot'-ree-os
From G243; another's, that is, not one’s own; by extension foreign, not akin, hostile: - alien, (an-) other (man’s, men’s), strange (-r).
Bottom line Alien means a foreigner, a stranger.
The big question is what kind of Alien are you?
If you be of the world (Kosmos) then you are an Alien to God! That’s not a good thing by the way!
If you be not of this world (Kosmos) then you are an Alien to the world, and thus the world HATES YOU! For you are an Alien to them! But yet God LOVES YOU for you are not an Alien to Him!
Jesus Himself said:
Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Biblical definition of “World”
kosmos
kos'-mos
Probably from the base of G2865; orderly arrangement, that is, decoration; by implication the world (in a wide or narrow sense, including its inhabitants, literally or figuratively [morally]): - adorning, world.
How did the Human race become Aliens to God?
Answer: SIN!
Sin is what has separated us from God, thus making us Aliens!
Jesus came into this world (Kosmos) Social order, to give us back our PASSPORTS, for it is written, you cannot get to the Father but by Me!
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Rejoice! You have your Heavenly Passport!
This makes you a Citizen of the Holy City of God, The New Jerusalem, The bride of Christ!
The Holy City was a well know fact way back in the Old Testament.
Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
Heb 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
Heb 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Heb 11:11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
Heb 11:12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Heb 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Heb 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Heb 13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
Rev 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
So my fellow Alien I hope this helps you on your quest!
