Time Travelers
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried
about with various and strange doctrines. - Hebrews 13:8-9 NKJV.
I was fascinated today by a story about a 1928 Charlie Chaplin silent film.
George Clarke, who is a filmmaker and also a Chaplin fan, bought a collection
of Chaplin films on DVD, and found something verry, verry, interesting. What
Clarke stumbled onto is what appears to be an older woman talking on something
similar to a cell phone. At the very end of the clip, when the woman turns
toward the camera, her lips do appear to be moving. One obvious explanation of
the scene would be that it is a time traveler. Of course, they did not have
cell towers back then; however, a time traveler would probably have access to
technology that might be more advanced than what we have today. Various
explanations have been offered, and you can read many of them at the youtube
link to the video of the clip at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF8WF3vGUn8
Is time travel possible? In the opening of the Gospel of John we are told this, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him,
and without Him nothing was made that was made (John 1:1-3).” In 1 Timothy 6:14-15 the Bible says, “that you keep this
commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ's appearing,
which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate,
the King of kings and Lord of lords.” Then in Revelation 19 we are told, “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him
was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
...He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word
of God. ...And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF
KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Jesus was present in the beginning. Jesus was present upon this earth as the
Son of Man who suffered and died for our sins; and Jesus will be present upon
this earth at the end, as the conqueror who will defeat all the enemies of God.
Jesus does not need a cell phone, or any other device, to see across the
centuries of time. Jesus is not limited by time as we are. He is able to see all things past,
present, and future at one time. They exist in the present for Him in eternity.
It is like being able to see the beginning of a parade and the end of the
parade all at one time.
There are an increasing number of strange, and even bizarre doctrines
emerging, that appear to have a substantial number of followers. Beware of
anything, or anyone who seeks to marginalize the importance of Jesus.
There is only one Jesus Christ; but there have been, there are, and will be
many imposters who seek to add to the Gospel just like the Judaizers of the
days of the apostle Paul. The apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 11 to the church at Corinth,
“But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent
deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the
simplicity that is in Christ. For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom
we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not
received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted - you may well put
up with it!”
We need to always remember that, “Jesus Christ is
the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
