Prepare to be amazed. You are about to be taken on a magical journey through time and eternity, courtesy of the Lord Jesus Christ and Gary Stearman. Some bizarre images will soon be flying through your mind’s-eye at a fast and furious pace. Though unknown to many Christians, there are events in the Bible that simply defy human imagination! Gary describes these strange, yet wonderful moments in his new book, 10 years in the making, Time Travelers of the Bible: How Hebrew Prophets Shattered the Barriers of Time Space. It’s a unique, one-of-a-kind book, filled with new ideas and observations that will give you a great appreciation for the Lord’s carefully orchestrated plan for mankind.
Imagine standing by the Jordan River when a fiery, horse-drawn chariot and a mighty whirlwind snatched up Elijah into eternity? Elijah became a Time Traveler, whether he liked it or not! Perhaps you would have enjoyed being the Apostle Paul’s traveling companion when he was caught up to heaven, a place where he heard things he was forbidden to repeat. Paul was obviously a Time Traveler! What about John and his visions on the Isle of Patmos, visions that gave us the Book of Revelation? Yes, Time Traveler!
Ezekiel saw a heavenly chariot, a visually-stunning, celestial vehicle described as a “wheel within a wheel,” guided by four living creatures whose descriptions are not of this world. This “Chariot of the Lord” was accompanied by lightning, fire, a whirlwind and great noise, likely the voice of God Himself! Ezekiel became a Time Traveler!
He described the future Battle of Gog and Magog in such elaborate detail, he must have been taken there, perhaps through a dimensional portal! One of the more remarkable accounts Gary brings to light occurs when the Lord took Ezekiel to see the spiritual leaders of Israel secretly worshiping Tammuz and the Egyptian Sun god in a hidden room! There’s a great story behind this! It’s in the book!
Enoch walked with God for 300 years and according to the apocryphal book that bears his name, he toured the world in a “flying house,” visited heaven and hell, and one day became the ultimate Time Traveler, when he was caught up to heaven in a preview of the Rapture! Was Enoch the first Time Traveler? Absolutely not!
For the last 18 years I’ve watched Gary Stearman uncover the hidden treasures of God’s Word. His ground-breaking discoveries always brought a look of sheer amazement to J.R.’s face. He always wondered what Gary would come up with next! You are about to enter the mind of, as Tom Horn puts it, “one of America’s great thinkers.” Gary’s new book explores a series of highly advanced concepts that allow us to focus on the “big picture,” from God’s viewpoint.
Believe me, Gary gives us the BIG picture! 539 pages! 28 chapters! And perhaps the most detailed study ever on time travel and the Universe, all from a Christian perspective. Interspersed throughout the book you may recognize some of Gary’s best discoveries from the past 25 years.
Who could forget the studies on the Hebrew alphabet, when we learned the entire Bible was Divinely constructed around the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, proving that the 66 books we have today are the one’s the Lord desired us to have? Or, the Book of Isaiah, called by some a “Miniature Bible,” since its 66 chapters correspond perfectly to the themes of the 66 books of the Bible. It’s all in the book!
Gary shares great insights into Paradise and Sheol, the abodes of the dead, a far deeper and more important subject than you may realize. When Jesus rose from the dead He descended into the Earth, preached to the spirits in prison and “led captivity captive.” Gary expounds on the Lord’s message and these two holding compartments, their present locations and shows how each of them will be physically moved in the future.
Where do Samuel and the Witch of Endor fit into this? Was it really Samuel who was summoned by the Witch of Endor and appeared from the underworld? Joshua’s sundial? Hezekiah’s long day? The Transfiguration and the Two Witnesses? The New Jerusalem? The unseen world of seers and clairvoyants? Even Rip Van Winkle! Nothing has escaped Gary’s biblical spectrum of time related concepts.
To put it simply, this is a book for those who want to understand why God had to send His Son to die on a cross. Couldn’t he have just altered the past and changed the future? We just can’t quite grasp it. Notice that God never allows people to travel backwards in time to change the past; only forward to see the future. The future He laid out before the foundation of the world.
Our world has a dark past and heaven’s past is steeped in rebellion, the product of Lucifer’s attempt to usurp the throne of God. The consequences of his actions reverberate through time and they required an eternal solution. Time Travelers of the Bible tells the whole sordid story and the beautiful ending God has planned for us.
We all know who sees the “big picture.” Isaiah 46:9,10 says, Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.
The ultimate ‘Time Traveler,” has His hand on His Creation and His plans are close to completion. Satan left his eternal home in heaven and is now confined to a place that Gary calls “A bubble outside the realm of eternity.” He’s a caged animal, or as the Bible says, “a roaring lion.” His clock is ticking. Soon he’ll have his date with destiny and the Gatekeeper of Time will give him a personal escort into the Lake of Fire.
