When I Look at Your Heavens

By Thaddeus Robinson

The Creator of the universe has revealed Himself to it. The intelligent life out there knows about the Creator, and they have a strong desire to know more about Him. He has revealed the existence of a planet in a faraway system that has special value to Him. Why is this small, insignificant planet of such special value to Him? What mystery can be uncovered by visiting it? What dangers might we encounter there? Do we have the technology to get there? Do we go there as conquerors or explorers?

Dr. Robinson presents a scenario where inquiring intelligent beings from another planet visit Earth, seeking knowledge of the earth's importance to their Creator. It's a scenario that presents the Jew-Gentile relationship as a relationship of the earth and the universe. Could it be that humanity, by limiting God to Earth, has limited God's relationship to the rest of His creation?

About the Author

Man's ultimate close encounter with extraterrestrial intelligent life—an encounter mankind never expected. "Father, what is man that you are mindful of him?"

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?

—Psalm 8:3–4

For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. This is indeed the will of my Father that all who see the Son and believe in him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day.

—John 6:38

UFOs are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head.

—Paul Hellyer, Canadian Minister of National Defense

Several different species of extraterrestrial (life) have visited the earth.

—Edgar Mitchel, sixth man to walk on the moon, Apollo 14

In a decade strong indication of alien life will be revealed. Definitive evidence within 20–30 years.

—Ellen Stofan, NASA Chief Scientist, 2015

For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now.

—Romans 8:20

The Arrival

What a strange-looking creature yet so similar in appearance as we: two eyes, a nose, two ears, a mouth, two arms, fingers, two legs, and skin tone that's sort of pale. Our studies show this is the dominant species on this planet—this planet of mystery, a planet we have thought about and studied for a millennium. This planet is the third planet orbiting the star we call Thoroxon. Thoroxon is such a small star, and yet this planet depends upon it for everything. The very existence of life itself comes from Thoroxon. This third planet, I must admit, is extremely beautiful. Look at the birds from the majestic California condor, with its dull colors and enormous wings, to the miniscule hummingbird with its myriad of colors and flight capabilities to the elegant giraffe with its extremely long neck and majestic stride as it moves over the African savanna to the beauty of the antelope, the mountain goat, the wolf, the oak tree, sequoias, the birch tree… I could go on and on about this planet's beautiful animal and plant life. It's all so beautiful and balanced.

And yet compared to us and the life-forms that control our planet, these life-forms are so weak and lack longevity. A hundred cycles around their star, Thoroxon, is a long time for the creatures on this planet. They call each cycle a year. Yet in spite of their inferiority, I stand here, a captive of these pale-skinned creatures. They know almost nothing about me, and I know everything about them, having studied them for a millennium. They utter sounds that they think I don't understand (and for now, I want to keep it that way). Listen to their conversation.

General, we've captured a manned flying saucer intact and undamaged. The three occupants are alive. We're transporting them to Wright-Patterson. Will you inform the president?

"Yes, I'll get word to him and the intelligent and scientific agencies. Make sure the press and the public are kept in the dark. If necessary, put a spin on the story. Call it a weather balloon or ball lightning, etc. You know what to say.

Yes, sir.

Have the aliens been sedated?

Yes, sir.

Good, let's get them to the ambulance quickly. Make sure they're totally covered up. No photos. What's the circumference of our security blanket around the crash site?

Five miles, sir. We're not allowing anyone, resident, local law enforcement, press. No one is allowed inside this area. I had the air space over this site declared a restricted area, no civilian drones allowed.

Major, assign your men to police this site. I don't want any sign of this saucer left behind. Every piece of metal or any other material is to be picked up, securely packed, and transported to Wright-Patterson.

The major ordered, "You men heard the colonel. Get moving. In three hours, we should have the saucer loaded on the five-ton, the aliens in the ambulance and all off to Wright. Then we'll let the
