Is Teleportation Possible and What Does the Bible Say About it? With God Nothing is Impossible

Is teleportation possible? Read what the Bible says about it and be encouraged! You don't have to wait for scientists to invent teleporting machines because God has promised it in His word - with God nothing is impossible.

Teleportation is a fantasy for many fans of science fiction.
You walk into a portal or machine, and BANG, a moment later you’re at another location.
Sometimes when I travel for long durations, I would think to myself “Why can’t I just teleport there instead??”

The Oxford Dictionary defines “teleport” this way: to transport or be transported across space and distance instantly.

Is teleportation just a figment of imagination, or is it possible? Or rather, has it already happened before?

Actually it has, and it was recorded a few times in the New Testament of the Bible.

In the Book of Acts, Philip, a believer and disciple was teleported from the desert to Azotus.
Let’s take a look at what happened:

“Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is desert. So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet. Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.” So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him. The place in the Scripture which he read was this: “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He opened not His mouth. In His humiliation His justice was taken away, And who will declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth.” So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?” Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?” Then 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.” So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to Caesarea.” (Acts 8:26-40 NKJV)

As you can see, the Holy Spirit caught Philip away and he was found at Azotus. This is definitely not describing natural movement from one place to another -
Philip was in the desert and a moment later he found himself at Azotus - if that’s not teleportation then I don’t know what is!

Another incident was recounted by the Apostle Paul of someone that he knew who experienced supernatural teleportation.
However it is not clear whether he was teleported in his physical body or it was happening as a vision in his mind’s eye.

“I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a one was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.” (II Corinthians 12:2-4 NKJV)

Teleportation is possible with the God of time and space - With Him nothing is impossible.

Nevertheless, our God is truly a God who defies all impossibilities.
Science is playing catch up with God. There are still many things that science can’t understand or explain, but are already recorded for us in the Bible, such as these incidents.

The next time you face a seemingly impossible situation that looks like there’s no way out of your trouble, remember that God can even teleport a man from one location to another, what else can He not do for you?
All things are possible for those who believe in God - even teleportation.

Since God can teleport a person, it also shows that His power is not limited to time or space.

Worried about your future? He is already there preparing the way for you and removing obstacles planted by the devil.

Afraid of growing old and dying? He can renew your youth like the eagles and extend your years on this earth.

Need a breakthrough urgently? He can compress the time that’s usually needed and help you accomplish more in less time.

Feeling concerned about your family members who are living overseas or perhaps traveling somewhere dangerous?
God is right there protecting them even when you are oceans apart.

All you have to do is allow our God of time and space to work in your life - He will gladly demonstrate His love for you.
If He has given you Jesus His only Son, He will surely give you all other blessings as well.

Talking about Jesus, another instance of teleportation was facilitated by Jesus Himself. It’s got to do with wind, waves and a boat.
There’s a very powerful revelation in that incident and you can read about it in my exclusive devotional on Patreon.

Is teleportation possible? Examine the Rapture as described in the Bible for a future case of mass teleportation

Did you know that there will be a future instance of mass teleportation that will take place at an unknown time and it will occur worldwide?
The Bible says that Jesus shared this mystery with His disciples:

“I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.””(Luke 17:34-36 NKJV)

“Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” (Matthew 24:40-42 NKJV)

This future global phenomenon of widespread teleportation is so significant that the Holy Spirit deemed it necessary for Jesus’ words about this to be recorded in two of the four gospels!

This occurrence is what many call the Rapture. The Apostle Paul describes the process like this:

“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (I Corinthians 15:51-52 NKJV)

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” (I Thessalonians 4:16-17 NKJV)

During the Rapture, the physical bodies of believers who are still alive on earth will be changed instantaneously to become new spiritual bodies.
They will then be caught up immediately to meet the Lord Jesus in the air.

You don’t have to wait or hope for scientists to invent machines that can teleport people from one place to another.
If you are a believer in Jesus, you have a one-way ticket to experience teleportation in the future to the best place possible: to Jesus’ presence where you will enjoy bliss for eternity.

Is teleportation possible? God has already recorded and promised it in His word. Now it’s up to you to choose whether to believe what the Bible says!

Scientifically, teleportation is impossible as of now. In God, everything is possible. The Bible does not directly address the idea of time travel, at least not the type of time travel commonly featured in science fiction.

Teleporting is happening now. I am always being teleported.

1. Luke 24:31 Jesus disappeared on the road to Emmaus then appeared to the disciples in Jerusalem

2. make a correction to your website: you blog about Christianity (not Christian)

Yes ... teleportation is seen in the Bible MANY times ... I have listed 14 times on this page of my website:
https://scripturecollections.wordpress.com/2021/09/21/teleportation/
However ... I did not include Revelation in my list. I think I may add it!
