H.G. Welles was one of the first.
His time machine is iconic, a story of a man who wishes to manipulate the days and months and reorder them to his desires.
Other writers and filmmakers have tackled the prospect of time travel in different ways. Can we physically move our bodies from one point in time to another? How much damage will we do if we change something in the past? Is the future already set, or are our futures as infinite as the pages on the calendar?
Dr. Who in the British television series travels in a magic telephone box (a Tardis) to the beginning of time and to the end of the world. It’s like it’s all already happened, every moment in history and the future.
A Sound of Thunder is a movie based on the butterfly effect. One small butterfly is killed in the distant past, and the entire future is changed because of it.
How is time travel presented in the Bible?
Isaiah 65:24 tells us:
“Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear.”
Does this really say what it sounds like? Before they call, God has already answered.
That sounds like time travel. Bending the calendar to our will. Knowing what will happen before it takes place.
This verse also says that he hears while they are yet speaking.
That sounds like God knows their words before they even say them.
Several years ago, Michael J. Fox starred in a movie series titled Back to the Future. One of the characters in the movie said, “Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.”
That’s God. He travels where he will. Time is of no concern to him.
God is our time machine, and when we travel with him, our future is assured.
