Easter and Jesus as Described by Chan Thomas
[gallery ids="18072,18071" type="rectangular"]
Chan Thomas' first claim to fame may have been his 1963 book: The Adam and Eve Story.
In that book he describes his theories of what happened to Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden approximately 12,000 years ago - a catastrophic pole shift.
His book was the central part of a file the CIA "partially declassified and sanitized for public view" 50 years later and has been an internet sensation ever since, with millions of us wondering what parts were NOT declassified and why it was ever classified in the first place. I am currently researching Chan Thomas in detail and will have a lot more to say about him soon.
Chan Thomas was also a Christian with some unusual interpretations of what we are told through the Bible. For example, Matthew 27:46 describes something Jesus said just before dying on the cross: "About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" that is, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"
Thomas points out this makes zero sense in light of Jesus' role, wisdom, and knowledge. He would never say that. But sometimes biblical figures take something they saw or heard and put it in the context of their own language. This is understandable, but makes things difficult for us to understand and interpret. Of course they were confused in the first century too - it wasn't their fault. For example, John said he saw the 666 symbol on the forehead of men who would behead faithful Christians in the end times.
We can't blame John for interpreting what he saw in a spiritual vision (the bismallah) in his own language's symbols.
Likewise, when Jesus was on the cross and he cried out: "Eli, eli la-ma sa-back tha-ni" - what if this phrase was really from another language Jesus studied between the ages of 18 and 30, when he was missing from ancient Israel, but obviously gaining great wisdom somewhere? In India, they claim Jesus was there. Chan Thomas notes that Matthew and Mark both put a question mark after Jesus' quote and interpret it for us adding phrases like: "which means" and "that is to say" - because there were no such words in Hebrew or Aramaic, and the apostles did the best they could interpreting what were almost nonsense words to them.
Thomas explains that in the ancient language he calls Naga, the unfamiliar phrase simply means: "I am fainting, I am fainting, darkness is overcoming me." He was letting us know the end of mortal life was arriving fast. I find this interpretation credible and fascinating - but not as intriguing as Thomas' views on angels and UFOs
On page 47 of Aftermath (of The Adam and Eve Story) a chapter begins titled "Angels and UFOs." Thomas describes the events after the crucifixion as described four different ways by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - not to mention Mary Magdelene and the other women at the sepulcher. His conclusions after comparing the various commentaries: "The angels looked like men, in fact they must have been men." (page 53) Far stranger is the comment on the next page: "We must conclude that these men, these angels, came to Earth in their space vehicle." I want to emphasize: Chan Thomas believes aliens are extraterrestrials coming to Earth from another planet in spaceships - and he believes they are human. For UFO pilots to be human - either our ancestors came from their planet - or the pilots of UFOs have ancestors that started here on Earth.
Myths from around the world describe angels and gods that come and go from the skies and are able to interbreed with human women. Aliens with different genetics could not do this, nor would vastly different aliens want to - any more than our astronauts would want to mate with alien animals. But if the beings that come down from the sky are not "alien astronauts" but off-world descendants of our very advanced ancestors - they would be very likely to come home to Earth to teach, guide, and interact with us. Perhaps humanity has been technologically advanced in the past - advanced enough to establish human colonies on other planets. Alleged whistle-blowers like Corey Goode say there are multiple “breakaway human civilizations” started through ancient secret space programs run by our distant ancestors in civilizations destroyed long ago, probably in regularly occurring pole shifts.
Pages 65 and 66 are a short chapter titled Jesus and Cataclysms. Thomas gives ten biblical quotes supportive of pole shifts. The first nine are not the most impressive choices. When I provide such a list in my books my favorites include:
Isaiah 13:13 “I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place.”
Isaiah 24:1 “Behold, the Lord lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants.”
Job 9:5-6 “It is God who removes the mountains, they know not how, When He overturns them in His anger; Who shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble.”
Psalms 46:2 “though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea.”
Haggai 2:6 “For thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘Once more in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land.”
Revelation 6:14 “The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.“
Revelation 21:1 “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away…”
But Thomas' tenth and final Bible quote is very important to take note of. Mark 13:26 "And then he shall send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven." Thomas doesn't capitalize he or his or earth as I would expect, but that isn't the important part. He has already told us that in his opinion, angels are space-faring humans, coming to our planet in spaceships.
Chan Thomas is telling us that in his opinion on the rapture - when the pole shift comes, UFOs are going to come to take away a select group of human survivors. Immediately after quoting Mark 13:26, he wrote: "Bear this verse in mind when you read Postlude." In this case he means a one page chapter on page 73 of Aftermath, not the Postlude that was published in 1971 as pages 58-91 added onto the 57 page original version of The Adam and Eve Story. I will revisit this important reminder to keep Mark 13:26 in mind soon - but this particular blog post is already too long.
For now I will just emphasize that Chan Thomas expects the tribulation to come as a pole shift cataclysm, and the rapture (not that he uses the word rapture) will involve angels who are humans (presumably from a previously advanced Earth civilization) piloting UFOs and using telepathic communication when they arrive at the last minute to save some of us. He never says how many but perhaps the biblical suggestion of 144,000 is as good a number as any. Others not taken will also survive to tell the tale.
Chan Thomas' ideas are definitely some of the most fascinating you will find from any pole shift authors... And I will have more to tell you about him soon. (please comment and let me know what readers are most interested to learn more about!)
