In Heaven I am told, transportation is not a problem. If you want to go visit your mom for example, all you do is think about her and you will be there.

There are a few situations like this recorded in the Bible, and I think there are those in the Church who will see this before Jesus returns. In the book of acts we hear about how Philip could run so fast as to catch up with a chariot & then later he was caught up from one place to another.

Acts 8:39-40 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. [40] But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

Jesus use to do this, esp. after the resurrestion. He would just sort of show up and talk to people, then He would be gone as fast as He had appeared at first. The disciples noted more than once that He would show up when the doors were locked.

John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

Notice in passing...

John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

They weren't celebrating the resurrection. They were scared and hiding. So much for using this verse to support a weekly Sunday worship.
