Part 2 Whirlwind Express

Grace September 20, 2019

Part 2

(Part Two)
A whirlwind was calling. A quantum traveling, here in one dimension, there in another dimension kind of whirlwind. He was going for a ride!

•
Elijah
•

“And it came about when the LORD was about to take up Elijah by a whirlwind to heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

Elijah took his mantle and folded it together and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground. When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” He said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so. ” As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.”
‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭2:1, 8-12‬ ‭

Quantum traveling with style!

Part 1 Confrontation

Grace September 20, 2019

Part 1

(Part One)
He’d been out of the public eye for quite some time. Mainly because the king wanted his head. But today he was headed for confrontation. Our investigation looks at his interaction with a king’s servant.

•
Elijah
•

“Now it happened after many days that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, “Go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the face of the earth.” So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria. Ahab called Obadiah who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly;

Then Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys; perhaps we will find grass and keep the horses and mules alive, and not have to kill some of the cattle.”

Now as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him, and he recognized him and fell on his face and said, “Is this you, Elijah my master?” He said to him, “It is I. Go, say to your master, ‘Behold, Elijah is here. ’ ” He said, “What sin have I committed, that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab to put me to death? As the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent to search for you; and when they said, ‘He is not here, ’ he made the kingdom or nation swear that they could not find you. And now you are saying, ‘Go, say to your master, “Behold, Elijah is here. ” ’ It will come about when I leave you that the Spirit of the LORD will carry you where I do not know; so when I come and tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will kill me, although I your servant have feared the LORD from my youth.”
‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭18:1-3, 5, 7-12‬ ‭

This passage implies, but does not overtly state, that the Spirit of the Lord has snatched Elijah and sent him traveling before. We will see next time how Elijah was snatched in actuality.

Hearing Unexpressable Words

Grace September 20, 2019

Unexpressable words

Looking around at beings he couldn’t describe, hearing words he wasn’t allowed to express, he stood amazed. Those moments marked him forever.

•
Paul
•

“I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven. And I know how such a man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows— was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12:2-4‬ ‭

Some travel on earth. Some travel in heavenly dimensions. And some do both. We’ll look at one who probably did both in our next post. #quantumspacewalker

Unusual Instructions

Grace September 7, 2019

And he did not see him again...

His day began with an unusual instruction. When he followed it, his day got even more interesting…
•
Philip
•
“But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip saying, “Get up and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a desert road.) So he got up and went; and there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure; and he had come to Jerusalem to worship, and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go up and join this chariot.” Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this: “H E WAS LED AS A SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER; A ND AS A LAMB BEFORE ITS SHEARER IS SILENT, S O H E DOES NOT OPEN H IS MOUTH. I N HUMILIATION H IS JUDGMENT WAS TAKEN AWAY; W HO WILL RELATE H IS GENERATION? F OR H IS LIFE IS REMOVED FROM THE EARTH.”
The eunuch answered Philip and said, “Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?”
Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch *said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?” [ And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”] And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him.
When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing.
But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭8:26

And then he was not…

Real Life Quantum Spacewalker #2

He was just walking along that day. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Chatting with God, like he always did. Maybe he passed a friend working in the garden and lifted a hand in greeting. The friend waved back, only to blink in astonishment when all he saw was air and the surrounding countryside.

•
Enoch
•

The first recorded Quantum Spacewalker.

“Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah. Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭5:21-24‬ ‭

Out of a list of people living 900+ years, he was only on the earth for 365. But what years those must have been.

Because he went from Point A to an indeterminate — to us anyway— Point B in a very unusual way.

There are other travelers yet to explore. More in the next post. #quantumspacewalker

Real Life Quantum Spacewalker #1

What is Quantum Spacewalking? It’s quite simple really. But by simple, I don’t necessarily mean easy…
•
It is moving through the quantum realm from Point A to Point B instantaneously.
•
Impossible, you say?
•
Not at all. People throughout the ages have done it. For our first example, we’ll start right at the top with…
•
Jesus
•
“Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they *saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened. But He *said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6:19-21‬ ‭
•
Jesus and a boatload of disciples went from Point A to Point B instantaneously.
•
But that’s not all.
•
“Then the devil *took Him into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and *said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written, ‘H E WILL COMMAND H IS ANGELS CONCERNING Y OU ’; and ‘O N their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR Y OU UP, S O THAT Y OU WILL NOT STRIKE Y OUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.’ ” Jesus said to him, “On the other hand, it is written, ‘Y OU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’ ” Again, the devil *took Him to a very high mountain and *showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; and he said to Him, “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus *said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘Y OU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE H IM ONLY.’ ””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:5-10‬ ‭
•
During Jesus’ 40 day temptation in the wilderness, he traveled twice. •
But he’s Jesus…
•
Yes, but he wasn’t the first person to do this. We will look at that person in our next post.
