NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers recently discussed the second coming of Jesus Christ with Joe Rogan on “The Joe Rogan Experience.” Rodgers and Rogan agreed that “it’d be good right around now.”

A long time star for the Green Bay Packers, Rodgers was traded to the New York Jets in April 2022. He suffered a season-ending injury in his first game with the Jets but is set to make his return to the field in the 2024-2025 season. 

Off the field, Rodgers has been a controversial figure, often voicing his belief in popular conspiracy theories and publicly feuding with other celebrities and athletes, including Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, whom Rodgers dubbed “Mr. Pfizer.” 

While the conversation began with a discussion about urinating in whiskey bottles and other makeshift receptacles, the pair moved on to talk about Rodgers’ process of rehabbing his injury, alleged insider trading committed by Congress members, pharmaceutical companies allegedly “controlling the narrative” through coercion during the COVID-19 pandemic, their doubts about climate change and distaste for the Patriot Act, “woke” artificial intelligence, gender identity, and various conspiracy theories. 

Later in the conversation, Rodgers and Rogan discussed the possible existence of interdimensional beings and technologically advanced ancient civilizations. Both men speculated that references to these realities can be found in the Bible. 

“They talk about some of the stories in the ancient texts and the Bible—they don’t have the words to explain like what a spaceship is,” Rodgers said. “It’s like, no, it’s a chariot in the sky.” 

“Ezekiel,” Rogan interjected. Referencing the angelic beings the prophet Ezekiel describes as wheels, Rogan added, “My God, it sounds like a UFO.”

“I would like to talk to Tucker Carlson about this,” Rogan continued. “He thinks it’s always been here and that it’s a part of existence and that this is a part of these biblical stories of angels and devils and that that’s what they’re really talking about. They’re talking about these interdimensional beings.” 

“And the darkest—the darkest—theory…is that what they use us as is vessels, that we are souls, that we hold souls and that this is essentially a farm,” Rogan said. “And this is how they develop souls, through us, and that what our soul is…is some force, some thing that they farm here with us that when we die, it transcends and becomes whatever they are in whatever space they exist in.”

Rogan then circled back to read a passage from Ezekiel 1, in which Ezekiel describes bizarre looking angelic beings.

“That’s a UFO,” Rodgers said. Rogan added, “That sounds like some f**king insane vision that’s beyond comprehension that happens to people that live in a prehistoric civilization.” The two expressed agreement in their belief that other ancient texts corroborate this theory.
