There seems to be a lot of evidence that Jabal al-Lawz, the mountain in northwest Saudia Arabia is the same as the Biblical Mt. Sinai. Both Mt. Sinai and Mt. Hermon are what some call “thin places,” that is, where the earthly and heavenly realms touch each other, and one can have an encounter with God. We know this is true for Moses (Ex 34:5), Elijah (1Ki 19:11), and the apostle Paul (Ga 1:17) at Mt. Sinai. And was certainly true for Peter, James, and John at Mt. Hermon (Lk 9:28-31), as we have discussed.

Yet, some proport that the connection between these two mountains goes even deeper. Some believe that Moses and Elijah were not just brought back but were brought to Mt. Hermon from their own time and place. Meaning that what occurred with Moses, what occurred with Elijah, and what occurred with Jesus all happened at the exact same time. Is this possible?

Well, anything with God is possible. God exists outside time and can see our past, present, and future simultaneously. He would certainly be able to take Moses and Elijah out of each of their own times so they could encounter Jesus together simultaneously. But the question is did he? Such an event would definitely make it even more profound. Is there any proof of such a thing? Perhaps not proof per say, but at least anything to corroborate or show the possibility of such an event?

For this to occur, it would mean that all three would need to be in their place at the same time in their history so they could all be pulled into a meeting out of their time. So, for this to be plausible, both Moses and Elijah would have had to be in the cave on Mt. Sinai at the same time of year as Jesus was on Mt. Hermon. They would then both be brought through time to where Jesus stood on Mt. Hermon. Do we have evidence of that?

As we described when Christ was on Mt. Hermon, it would put him there about two months after Shavuot in the month of Av.

Would the same be true for Moses and Elijah? Could such occur by mere coincidence? Possibly, but likely not probably. I mean, to have Jesus on Mt. Hermon likely on the 15th of Av, have Moses in the cave on Mt. Sinai on the 15th of Av during his encounter with God, and then to have Elijah in the cave on Mt. Sinai on the 15th of Av during his encounter with God seems more than what could happen by mere happenstance. For such to occur, it would have to be by divine appointment. Who but God could achieve such? Did he? Well, let’s explore this. Let’s see the timing of events surrounding Moses’ encounter with God and compare those to Elijah’s encounter with God. It won’t be conclusive, but sometimes circumstantial evidence becomes greater than mere circumstance.

Join me next time as we investigate this quest for clues of time travel for Moses and Elijah.
