The Voice How The Bible Reveals Reincarnation
Author: L. Edward VanHoose

When viewed from a historic perspective, the Bible's Old Testament offers descriptions of, from among many, certain personalities such as Elijah, King Ahab, and Queen Jezebel. These, when compared respectively with the New testament's John the Baptist, Herod Antipas, and Herodias, reveal the same similar and convincing parallels seen in the scie... more »ntifically controlled case studies of reincarnation - ongoing for forty years - conducted at the University of Virginia's prestigious Department of Personality Studies. Headed by Dr. Ian Stevenson, the cases carefully confirmed that like those seen in the Bible, persons now alive were once dead. That is, the subjects preexisted as human beings before being reincarnated or "born again" into their present lives. More than three thousand cases have been documented. In examining biblical reincarnation, using similar scientific and historical methods, Captain VanHoose utilized two hundred eighty eight fascinating pages of documentation, thirty illustrations, and ninety three thousand - often humorous - well written words. As to the previously mentioned three, of the Bible's famous and infamous saints and sinners, they are presented as regular folks and not dieties - allowing us to see that in their humanity, they were like ourselves. And like most ancient readers of antiquity, who believed in reincarnation, today's reader can readily see - as normal to the human condition - Elijah returning as John the Baptist, King Ahab returning as Herod Antipas, and Ahab's infamous wife Jezebel, returning as Herod's infamous wife: Herodias. One question to ponder in all is, is that if they were human beings - like us - and could reincarnate, then as a normal course, cannot other biblical persons, Stevenson's subjects, and the rest of humanity? Jesus, in no uncertain terms, pointed out the Elijah/John the Baptist connection at least six times. Saint Paul preached preexistence, or our having been around before birth, using the word "before" over fifty times. He saw his ministry as an outreach to Greeks and barbarians terming them respectively - "The wise and the unwise." To wizened Greeks, establishing preexistence sets up the basis for this insight of Greek genius: Socrates. Hundreds of years befor Jesus, the sage said: "Souls go from here into the other world, and returning hither, are 'born again' from the dead. Now if it be true that the living come from the dead, then our souls must exist in the other world, for if not, how could they have been 'born again'? Galillee's genius - guess who - concured in putting it this way: "You must be born again."
