This summary of the Cosmic Theology paradigm is provided for readers who may want a quick overview of the seminal treatise, "On the Wings of Angels: The Extraterrestrial Theology of the Hebrew Record" (or “Wings Treatise”) as posted on the Bible Reality Check website. Although the intent of this review is to assist the reader to better understand the core concepts which inform other works, serious students and Bible scholars may be better served by a review of the entire manuscript. The treatise offers a thorough exegesis of over two hundred biblical references with a non-traditional view of Bible scripture and other historic religious texts. However, Cosmic Theology is not confined within any cultural or geo-religious boundaries.

The "Wings Treatise" points out that the devotees of every diverse religion on Earth, historically separated by time, geography, and culture, all ascribe to their “sky gods” some common attributes. Irrespective of competing theologies and the identities and deification of various “gods”, or differing beliefs regarding their mission and activities, all ancient peoples believed in the cosmic origin, awesome power, and vehicular space travel of their “gods” who visited earth in ancient times. It is also the universality of the belief in mankind’s genetic engineering by, and their historical interaction with, a humanoid extraterrestrial race that contributes significantly to the Cosmic Theology paradigm. The very idea that such beliefs arose spontaneously and experientially among all ancient cultures overwhelms all discussion pertaining to the origin of world religion.

While it is reasonable to speculate that at least some of those distinctions found within the various accounts of contact with either benevolent or malevolent “gods” may arise from encounters with diverse extraterrestrial species having quite different contact objectives, it seems quite likely that all of Earth’s ancient civilizations had their own independent encounters with the same progenitor race of humanoid extraterrestrials. It is also observed that there is not a single historical text from the ancient world that describes human evolution from an ape-like ancestry or one that depicts the rise of civilization as a gradually occurring human achievement entirely unassisted by extraterrestrial “gods”.

The careful and thorough exegesis of the biblical literature presented in the "Wings Treatise" reveals a trustworthy historical record of first-hand accounts of contact with an extraterrestrial citizenry of life-creators and terra-formers, the Ancient Warrior Priests who serve the cosmic empire of Yahweh, the Father God of the Bible. The following core assumptions are central to this thesis.

1) Human beings are a genetically designed species with an extraterrestrial heritage. It is important to note the biblical view which asserts that Yahweh and His Elohim created human beings in their own distinctive “image and likeness”, or physical appearance.

2) “Heaven” is the English word rendered from the Hebrew shamayim or the Greek ouranos. Both words are consistently and contextually defined as “sky”, “cosmos”, or “universe” wherever they appear in the biblical texts.

3) The “sky gods” of antiquity, or the “heavenly beings" referred to throughout the Judeo-Christian Bible and other historical texts, are highly advanced extraterrestrials having a cosmic residence. They have appeared in many ways, both to individuals and groups, throughout human history.

4) The biblical God Yahweh is ruler of a vast Cosmic Empire served by an Ancient Order of Warrior Priests, the biblical “angels”, an extraordinary race of immortal EBE (Extraterrestrial Biological Entity) who are the creators and overseers of countless worlds and diverse species throughout the physical universe, including Earth and its humankind.

5) The Elohim (lit. trans. Mighty Ones) is the biblical term for any god(s), angels, or other cosmic beings mentioned in the Bible. They are broadly represented (both benevolent and malevolent) in Hebrew scripture and other texts from the ancient world. In addition to historical religious texts, modern reports of extraterrestrial contact with UFO’s and EBE’s are comparable.

6) The diversity of extraterrestrial entities encountered and reports of their earthly activities and behavior, leads to the conclusion that they do not share identical motives and agendas, nor do they employ identical methods or interact with human beings in the same manner.

a) Many non-humanoid species appear either indifferent to humankind's concerns or are overtly hostile.

b) There exists a state of war between at least one major Exopolitical power-block among the Elohim kind who wage cosmic warfare with Yahweh’s Empire and lay siege to primitive and largely indefensible worlds such as Earth.

c) Although it is not precisely clear from the biblical accounts which species are involved, there is a militant group identified theologically as “the devil and his angels”, “demons”, and/or “alien gods” led by “Satan”. While the exact nature and extent of their powers and predatory motives are not fully understood, their intentions include the conquest and subjugation of humankind.

Particularly noteworthy is the biblical worldview pertaining to beings in the Elohim class (righteous or evil) who have their abode in outer space but frequently visit or travel to earth. This view contradicts a popular myth that has the devil and demons residing in a nether-region called "Hell", a cultural view that did not originate in the Bible. The Cosmic Theology paradigm overcomes traditional "hellfire and damnation" doctrines through an accurate biblical exegesis that is true to the original texts, revealing the cosmic reality of extraterrestrial predators.

As the cosmic battle rages against Yahweh’s kingdom, each side has a special interest in the fate of humankind, even to the point of attempting to gain strategic geopolitical control over particular regions of the planet, as well as individuals, thus leading to a global conflagration described in apocalyptic prophecy. The "Wings Treatise" is a thorough, scholarly exegesis of the Bible’s Semitic and Greek language texts that should be on the “must read” list of every student of theology.
