That's a cryptic statement that can have many interpretations including beings from other planets if the descendants of Adam are considered "one fold."

It could also mean highly intelligent creatures from other galaxies in our supercluster of galaxies. Our supercluster is called Laniakea. It could also mean highly intelligent creatures in another one of the 10 million superclusters in our observable universe. The actual universe is at least 250 times bigger than our observable universe. So it could mean highly intelligent creatures in a part of the universe that cannot even be seen by Hubble.

Thank you for those marvelous bits of information, Lowell. You are certainly more knowledgeable than I am. I think, however, your possibilities are too broad. This earth's animal kingdom has intelligence, but I would exclude them from the "this fold" simply because they are a form of life more or less following a different order of reasoning. I would think the same would be true of beings from beyond this world, of course, unless they are somehow human.

I favor the idea that highly intelligent creatures in other galaxies are human, like you do, carpathianpeasant. Of course it may be that I am pre-judging other galaxies based only on my limited experience. Although Orangutans are quite amazingly intelligent as we have learned from their understanding of sign language and behavior.
"Characteristics. The Laniakea Supercluster encompasses 100,000 galaxies stretched out over 160 megaparsecs (520 million light-years). It has the approximate mass of "10 to the 17th power - " solar masses, or a hundred thousand times that of our galaxy, which is almost the same as that of the Horologium Supercluster."
"The Milky Way contains over 200 billion stars, and enough dust and gas to make billions more. The solar system lies about 30,000 light-years from the galactic center, and about 20 light-years above the plane of the galaxy. More than half the stars found in the Milky Way are older than the 4.5 billion year old sun."

Consider the words in John 10:16 and in Isa 56:8, Jesus already has these sheep gathered unto Him.
