Transported by the Spirit

[StewardoftheMystery]

In several places in scripture we see the mention of men being transported, or carried away to another place by the Spirit of God.

Like with Elijah….

1 Kings 18:11-12​

​

King James Version​

​

​

11 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the Lordfrom my youth.”

Or with Ezekiel….

Ezekiel 3:14
So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me.

Ezekiel 8:3
And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.

Ezekiel 11:1
Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the Lord's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.

And with Philip…

Acts 8:39-40​

​

King James Version​

​

​

39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.”

I got to thinking about this being transported by the Spirit to another place. And thought, wouldn’t that be cool if we could just imagine a place that we wanted to be, and the Spirit would carry us there without the use of planes, trains, or automobiles?

Perhaps in the regeneration that will be how we get around in the future? Just a thought.

That's an interesting topic @StewardoftheMystery

Jesus glided through doors and ascended with His spiritual flesh body.
There are so many empty planets and who knows God's ideas for the future, with the new heavens and earth.
No eye has seen and no ear has heard what God plans for those who love Him.

Probably I' m also saying something a bit controversial, with this next bit.
In science they tried transportation and it was dangerous to the natural person and decided not to try more. Probably you already heard of the Philadelphia experiment. Shouldn't be tried by man . That's an example and it's likely to be forbidden to practice.

Only God knows what He is doing on the examples you gave.

One might ask, how do the angels of God go from place to place?

Matthew 22:30
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
