Part of the theories coming out of Superstring Theory is there is at least ten or more dimensions in the universe, Most of us are either taught or lead to believe that God exists in only the current realm of the Universe with special attributes and powers. This incorrect belief leads to problems and limitations in understanding the scriptures. As an example, many Christians are often incorrectly told that the Kingdom of Heaven is located somewhere in the Universe where God looks down from His Throne at activities on Earth. This cannot be true as explained in the topic of the Kingdom of God.
| Isaiah 46:10 | I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.' |
| Isaiah 57:15 | For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite. |
Future
There are many scriptures, where God took individuals like the Apostle John in the Book of Revelation, forward in time to see events that would happen in the 70 Week of Daniel, and then the Apostle John was returned to the time period he originated from. There are other example of the writers in the scriptures having the ability to taken into other Time Domains, a form of Time Travel, so that they could write about future events.
Past
Additionally, Moses wrote about the time of the beginning of the Earth, with Adam and Eve, up until the period of time of his death, so the question was Moses allowed to see events in the past, before his own birth, by God? We are not given the answer, but in order for Moses to write about it, then he must have been given visions, or even saw events, along with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
| An excerpt from
WIKI Scottish-born Canadian Sir Sandford Fleming proposed a worldwide system of time zones in 1876 - see Sandford Fleming Inventor of worldwide standard time. The proposal divided the world into twenty-four time zones labeled A-Y (skipping J), each one covering 15 degrees of longitude. All clocks within each zone would be set to the same time as the others, but differed by one hour from those in the neighboring zones.[20] He advocated his system at several international conferences, including the International Meridian Conference, where it received some consideration. The system has not been directly adopted, but some maps divide the world into 24 time zones and assign letters to them, similarly to Fleming's system. |
When looking at the globe at the equator, each time zone is approximately 15 Degrees wide and are mostly 1 hour apart, but there are time zones with 45, 30 and less minutes offsets. One not commonly known point is technically there are actually more than 24 Time Zones.
There is a base time that is the offset from Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is often referred to when planning a virtual meeting that requires everyone to attend at the same time while being located across the globe. There are also unknown time zones that are used in planning of policing and military operations.
Another commonly used reference is the International Date Line (IDL), where crossing it changes the calendar date, which also creates 3 more Time Zones. Additionally, there are factors such as Day Light Savings Time, Mean Solar Time and a few more obscure terminological phrases that can cause confusion. As of 2020, there are 37 different local times in use.
A very interesting problem arises as a person travels towards and arrives in two places on the Earth. At the North and South Poles, technically there is no time setting as the separation of longitude lines representing time zones come to a point as these two locations. When there are research vessels and people at buildings working at these locations, they tend to keep to the time zone from the location in their country.
Using the Earth as an example, consider how "time of day", "day of week", "day of year" can be tracked at any location in the Universe that may be on another planet or traveling through Space in another Galaxy. In science fiction entertainment, writers have come up with calculations that were sometimes called star dates that represent the century, year, month, day and time, which might be something like star date 141532.345. There are many other factors discussed below, that makes a date and time an elusive concept.
In a little bit of a humorous and interesting point, there is a place in the
world that is called
Null Island.
In computer nomenclature, the term Null means that a virtual storage value has
no value. It is mentioned in this topic because it refers to a place that
refers to a location where the Prime Meridian and the Equator intersect at "zero
degrees latitude and also zero degrees longitude", as mentioned in the
WIKI link. The place still is affected by a time zone, but give the
understanding of how time and coordinates can be very relative to the devices
being used to measure anything.
Time is a quantized property that is discernable based on physical factors of gravity, weight and velocity. When these factors change then time changes even if it is in the smallest of fractional degrees of nanoseconds.
GPS times in satellites have nanosecond differences that can be measured at one billionth of a second. Recently, in November of 2016, the Smithsonian website reported on a time captured called "zeptosecond" which was supposedly a trillionth of a billionth of a second, as researches at the Max Plank Institute of Germany announced.
God is not a Deity who has lots of time. God exists outside of our time domain and all time domains!
As human beings, we are aware of the three-dimensional world that we live in which consists of height, width and length. There are many people who equate the fourth dimension as time. Time is not the fourth dimension but is part of the fourth dimension's quantitative aspects. The fourth dimension is not viewable from our vantage point because of our limitations in three dimensions. The common analogy is given where a person living in only two dimensions of width and length could not perceive height. If it were possible to see time in a mathematical equation affecting three dimensional objects then this could be the best description of the fourth dimension.
According to Superstring Theory, from 1984, the fifth and sixth dimensions is where other possible worlds are located. In the sixth dimension, the worlds of the 5th and 6th could be seen as positions or coordinates which would allow traveling backwards and forwards in time to the lesser dimensional worlds/universes. As of 2018, scientific analysis has theorized that we exist inside a 10 dimensional universe or maybe even more.
In John 1:3 and also in Colossians 1:16, the scriptures inform us that all things were created through Jesus Christ, but there is more to the interpretation and also some translational problems in Colossians 1:16. In some translations, the word "dominions" or "worlds" is the Greek word "anionas" which means the Universes (plural) or Time Domains (plural). Notice in Genesis 1:1, that heavens are plural where Theologians have believed that this simply meant the Earth, Universe and Heaven, but it is more than that.
| Genesis 1:1 | In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. |
| John 1:3 | All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. |
| Colossians 1:16 | For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: |
Some Biblical Scholars state that the use of anionas is in the same context of Genesis 1:1, which means that God created everything that consists of much more that we are not aware of and God has no limitations on what He has Created that we do not know about. Many Biblical Scholars are pointing out that it is more than our translations convey and it should really be translated "all the time domains." This would apply to the known Universe and the Kingdom of Heaven where God inhabits or dwells, but God still exist outside of everything He has created.
Recall that after the Resurrection, Jesus visited the Disciples and went through the walls of the closed room they were in. This demonstrates, that Jesus had extra dimensional abilities as God is not magical.
| John 20:19-20 | 19 So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, Peace be with you. 20 And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord. |
In Revelation 21, we learn that the known Universe is going to be destroyed in intense heat. In order for the known universe to be destroyed then God and those in Heaven and the Lake of Fire have to be in a different dimensional location (a higher dimension) that would not be affected. While God can protect all of us inside an inferno of the destruction of the Universe, if we were in that dimension like God did for Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in Daniel 3, but that is putting limitations on God.
| 2 Peter 3:10 -13 | 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. 11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! 13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. |
| Note: Popular Science Fiction
Television and Movies sometimes bring up multiple universes and
realities where the exact same person lives in different realities and
time streams. This is absolute fiction and ridiculousness that is
from the Satanic World, as it implies that people are good and bad based
on external influences where the decisions to be good are based on
others and therefore there is no accountability. In other words, a
person who is treated badly has no accountability when treating other
people bad, where in actuality a person being treated badly should know
the pain when hurting others. Because of the science of String Theory and Quantum Physics, there are scientist theorizing and discovering the possibilities of God's creation of universes which the scriptures (discussed in this topic and others) inform us. Rhetorically, all of us with no training in these sciences can simply realize the ludicrousness of somehow there being identical human-beings in different universes to be created and somehow live nearly identical lives with different outcomes of their life. |

Judgment Seat of Christ
topic: The Judgment Seat of Christ is a one-time only event that in Earth's calendar is before the Millennial Kingdom, but in Heaven it is before Eternity starts.

Is time travel possible into the past, as read in science fiction books and seen in science fiction movies? The short answer is absolutely no for human being as we are limited based on the four-dimensional limitations of our created bodies (unless God intervenes as He did with the Apostle John), but there is some interesting points discussed in the time travel topic.
