In 1988, the world-renowned Theoretical Physicist, Stephen Hawking, wrote his monumental treatise that made the London Sunday Times Bestseller list for a record 237 weeks. It has been translated into some 40 languages and has sold about one copy for every 750 people on the planet. The name of the book? “A Brief History of Time.”
Now I haven’t read any of his more recent editions where he addressed the fascinating subject of wormholes. And no, this has nothing to do with where to find the best fishing spots. It has to do with those little, tube-like parts of the universe that connect different regions of space. The now-deceased Mr. Hawking had believed that these “holes” will open the door to rapid space travel, even the ability to go back in time.
I did read his first edition because I was interested in knowing what contemporary secular physicists were positing about how our universe kick-started. I wanted to better understand the “Big Bang Theory;” and because Dr. Hawking was so brilliant, his research so compelling, I just had to read his book. His conclusions, however, steer away from the Divine fiat, “And God said, ‘Let there be light and there was light.”
Many people are captivated by the subject, “Where did we come from?” which was one of Dr. Hawking’s primary reasons for writing his book. Many other people are equally captivated, and should be, by the more important subject, “Where are we headed?”
How about you? Are you interested in knowing what happens after this – on earth, I mean? What is God’s prophetic timeline? Why not come out this Sunday morning and buckle your seat-belt? We’re going on a trip of very rapid time travel that will span 2600 years – and counting – in just 30 minutes in a sermon I’ve entitled, “A Brief History of History.”
