Elder Race Angels

| Okay, I want to talk to you real quick, Tim, about angels. | |
| I love talking about angels. | |
| Why do you call angels the elder race? | |
| And are they our siblings? | |
| Well, I call them the elder race precisely because of what I referenced there in Job, that the sons of God, the angels, shouted for joy when the earth was created. | |
| So I call them the elder race because elder means older, and they're obviously older than we are. | |
| They were created before we were. | |
| And who knows how long they existed before mankind was created. | |
| There's no indication of that. | |
| I personally believe that they existed for a very long time before the creation of Adam. | |
| And then race, elder race, because how else should we describe them if not a race? | |
| They constitute a race. | |
| So the Bible is very, the Bible is intentionally ambiguous regarding these beings that are designated as angels in the biblical narrative. | |
| And angel simply means it's not a description of the nature of a being. | |
| It's an occupational description. | |
| It doesn't describe what they are. | |
| It describes what they do. | |
| Angel simply means messenger, an envoy, one who is sent. | |
| And of course, in the Hebrew, it's malach, and in the Greek, it's angelos. | |
| And the word angel, malach, in the Old Testament, is actually even used of human messengers. | |
| So it's not even specifically referring to angelic beings. | |
| And so as I was writing my book, just for my own convenience and my own thought process, I wanted to refer to these beings in a way that was more descriptive, in a way that conveyed their exceeding agedness. | |
| In other words, the fact that they are much older than we are. | |
| And that when we think about angels, we're not just thinking about some spiritual ethereal beings. | |
| We are, in fact, talking about a race that hails from a very ancient and advanced civilization. | |
| And the evidence for this is all over the scriptures. | |
| And I go through this in detail in my book. | |
| And so when I think about angels, I don't think about these ethereal creatures with wings that are non-physical. | |
| Rather, I think about angels very much in the same way that I think about human beings, that they constitute a race, that they come from a civilization. | |
| They have their own language. | |
| They have technology. | |
| And they're members of the kingdom of God, the ones that are loyal to the king. | |
| Of course, there's a faction of the elder race that are apostate. | |
| They're apostate sons of God. | |
| They're rebels. | |
| They're fallen angels. | |
| But even the fallen angels come from the same civilization, the same race. | |
| And when I say that, when I reference this civilization, that's that pre-adamic context that I'm talking about, that there's a civilization that not just that these beings popped into existence right before we were created, but rather that they come from a civilization that existed before our own civilization. | |
