Acts 8:38-40 reads:
38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.
Was Philip teleported to Azotus by the Holy Spirit?

He went on a jet. What does the text say?

Evelyn Gardiner you proclaim a false teaching – 38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

Interesting. I believe Dennis Bennett once claimed that David J. Du Plessis experienced this supernatural transportation on one occasion.

Troy Day what do you mean no discovery. I didn’t discover this, but visited it along with an ASOR official. Did you know that the archaeological world takes this discovery seriously? Several conferences have been held in the last few years.
Military and political concerns do not presently allow archaeological permits. But this could change. Its under divine supervision.
Why would someone who knows almost nothing about this but gossip even offer an opinion?

For those who know it’s what the Spirit of the Lord has done but, for those who don’t know biblical truth, being teleported might be the best answer.

Thangsan Hisfootstep Zechariah, I propose, provides us a profound look at exactly that:
“The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it” (Zechariah 12:1-3).
When Israel was suddenly and viciously attacked earlier this month by Hamas forces—whose unspeakably evil terrorists murdered even pre-born infants, severed babies’ heads, raped girls and women in front of parents and husbands, slaughtered those parents and husbands, and took girls and women captive to continue their horrors—much of the mainstream media, particularly in the U.S., was relatively silent. As a matter of fact, the main rants coming from the media were calls for a ceasefire to stop Israel’s retaliation against Hamas while IDF forces made Gaza a land of smoking carnage.
Then, the anti-Israel media and all their complicit ilk, including U.S. representatives, got their opportunity to turn it all against the Jews. A Baptist-run hospital in Gaza was supposedly hit directly by a missile explosion. I say “supposedly” because it turned out later that an adjacent parking lot was the most affected by the explosion.
The cries were a cacophony of rage against Israel. And the rage was almost instantaneously echoed throughout much of the rest of the world–particularly the Islamic world. The following gives perspective:
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that intelligence sources indicate it was an Islamic Jihad terrorist group rocket that hit a Gaza hospital, killing hundreds, as opposed to an Israeli strike as first claimed by international corporate media and terror group Hamas. The IDF provided video to support their claims.
