Jim Bakker Show - Angels Are An Elder Race | Timothy Alberino on The Jim Bakker Show Aired: 2022-03-23 Duration: 03:13 === Elder Race Angels (03:13) === [00:00:00] Okay, I want to talk to you real quick, Tim, about angels. [00:00:03] I love talking about angels. [00:00:06] Why do you call angels the elder race? [00:00:10] And are they our siblings? [00:00:12] 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. [00:00:22] So I call them the elder race because elder means older, and they're obviously older than we are. [00:00:28] They were created before we were. [00:00:30] And who knows how long they existed before mankind was created. [00:00:34] There's no indication of that. [00:00:35] I personally believe that they existed for a very long time before the creation of Adam. [00:00:42] And then race, elder race, because how else should we describe them if not a race? [00:00:47] They constitute a race. [00:00:48] So the Bible is very, the Bible is intentionally ambiguous regarding these beings that are designated as angels in the biblical narrative. [00:01:00] And angel simply means it's not a description of the nature of a being. [00:01:07] It's an occupational description. [00:01:09] It doesn't describe what they are. [00:01:10] It describes what they do. [00:01:12] Angel simply means messenger, an envoy, one who is sent. [00:01:17] And of course, in the Hebrew, it's malach, and in the Greek, it's angelos. [00:01:22] And the word angel, malach, in the Old Testament, is actually even used of human messengers. [00:01:29] So it's not even specifically referring to angelic beings. [00:01:33] 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. [00:01:51] In other words, the fact that they are much older than we are. [00:01:54] And that when we think about angels, we're not just thinking about some spiritual ethereal beings. [00:01:58] We are, in fact, talking about a race that hails from a very ancient and advanced civilization. [00:02:06] And the evidence for this is all over the scriptures. [00:02:08] And I go through this in detail in my book. [00:02:10] And so when I think about angels, I don't think about these ethereal creatures with wings that are non-physical. [00:02:20] 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. [00:02:31] They have their own language. [00:02:32] They have technology. [00:02:34] And they're members of the kingdom of God, the ones that are loyal to the king. [00:02:40] Of course, there's a faction of the elder race that are apostate. [00:02:45] They're apostate sons of God. [00:02:46] They're rebels. [00:02:47] They're fallen angels. [00:02:49] But even the fallen angels come from the same civilization, the same race. [00:02:53] 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.
