The story of the Seven Sleepers
During the persecution dictated by the Roman emperor Decius, somewhere around 250, a fascinating story happened. Christians were in dispute with the Roman state and the fear that is not run, seven young people have taken refuge in a cave. They fell into a deep sleep and when they woke up they went to the city of Ephesus in order to buy food.
They were stunned when they learned that they had not slept for a night in that cave but for 200 years. When Emperor Theodosius II decreed the incident found that the seven have risen from the dead, not that it actually had a jump in time 200 years. Seven lived a normal life and when they died they were buried in that cave, which took its name from the cave of the Seven Sleepers.
How is it that the seven to be traveled in time? Nobody can answer that question, but if you take a close look in the Bible actually realize that the stories are extremely dense. One of them is the disciple Abimelech had gone for a good period of time.
Abimelech, figs and time dilation
The Bible tells us that the prophet Jeremiah dictated the book to one of his disciples named Baruch, in the year 604 BC Some of the writings of Baruch did not find place in the Old Testament, however, due to incompatibility with the teaching of the Church. Thus, in Chapters III and IV of this text censored story can be read below. Jeremiah, who was among the six great prophets, was also, like many of his colleagues, a political agitator natural.
Jeremiah asked for a meeting with Exalted Angel, and this meeting was granted. But the presence of the Lord, the prophet begs him to spare his young friend Abimelech, who had saved much of the swamp. Lord showed understanding and Jeremiah advised to send friend "mountain road" to via a certain Agrippa, where he will be safe until this is over. The next day, Jeremiah Abimelech sent him saying: "Get a basket and go to the property of Agrippa to get some figs. You will give the sick and the poor. "
A few days later, the enemy conquered Jerusalem. The survivors, including Jeremiah and Ezechil were deported to Babylon. but Abilemec not learned anything about this terrible event. He went cheerfully on mountain road when he was swept by a sudden dizziness. Then sat down with the basket full of fresh figs from his knees, and fell asleep.
He woke up after a few seconds - it seemed to him - and the fear of being scolded by Jeremiah that lingered on the road, rushed to Jerusalem. But it did not recognize any city, no house, no family of his own ...
Abimelech is in despair. He missed just as he went to gather figs and behold, the world has changed.
For him Abimelech comes an old man and asks him what city is it in front of him. The old man replied that it is Jerusalem. Abimelech asks what happened to the city, the priest or the scribe Baruch, and other people you know. He adds that no longer knows the city. The old man replied cautiously: "You're talking about Jeremiah and ask for news about him after all this time? It's a long time since Jeremiah was deported to Babylon, with all the people. "
Abimelech believe that old is not sane and regrets, given his advanced age, he can not insult him or take him laughing. Ask what time is still convinced that it was absent so much as he had to pick figs:
"Here, see for yourself. Get them. Look at these figs! "Saying this, Abimelech sidestep Panera cover. And the old man sees the figs were still flies. Then say, "Son, you are a righteous man ... But you know it's been sixty-six years since people were deported to Babylon. To realize that this is the truth, look at this field. The seeds have just sprouted longer by the time of figs! "
Urashima Taro and his journey over 300 years
Urashima Taro story of the young fisherman comes from ancient Japan. The fisherman went to sea in search of god protector Ry. Finally he finds an underwater palace.
Young feels they missed home only three days, but when they realize that they have gone back 300 years. His friends and family were missing for a long time, but as legend Taro had to pay the ultimate price that could get in touch with god protector.
These are just some of the most impressive stories where normal people defy the laws of time. Of course they were assisted by the gods to walk fast on the time line, however it can be concluded that while the jump is possible under certain conditions.
