  • It was about 12:30 a.m.  There was no moon and everything was black.  We were returning from a short trip with my close friend Randy and his wife Barb, who was sitting by the door.

    For some reason I decided not to travel I-70 west, which would have been a much better road to be on at that time of night.  We were just west of Frederick,MD. driving toward Hagerstown, MD. on US-40.

    This road passes through the Blue Ridge Mountains but doesn't wind or curve.  It is like a roller coaster.  It goes first up then down, then up again and down again till you get through the mountains to the Cumberland Valley.

    Each time we would go over the crest of a mountain, we would naturally gain a little speed even though we would apply the brakes.

    As we rode along, we talked about all sorts of things, but mostly the Lord, and discussed our trip and how we would be able to relax when we finally reached our homes.

    We had just gotten over the ridge of one mountain and were picking up speed when out from the right there suddenly appeared a yellow Volkswagon Beetle.  It had no lights on and we couldn't see it until we were close enough for our low beam headlights to lighten it.  We were probably traveling about sixty miles-per-hour at this point.

    By then it was too late, but my 'instinct for survival' took over.  I swerved to the left with minute hopes of getting around it though we all knew that we were far too close to miss it.

    Several moments later we were in the valley starting up the next mountain.  Randy and I thanked the Lord for keeping us alive.  Randy and I were saying how we couldn't believe that we were not killed in a collision.

    After a few moments passed, Randy noticed that Barb was tense and breathing hard.  When he asked her if she was OK, she simply answered in a shaky voice, "We didn't miss it."  When Randy asked Barb what she meant, she again told us that we didn't miss it.

    Randy comforted her for a few minutes until she had regained her calm.  What she told us then was magnificent.

    She told us how even though we had swerved, we absolutely did not miss the other automobile.  She said that when we reached the point of "impact", our headlights were shining at the rear wheel of the Volkswagon.  This was an overlap of about three feet.

    Just as she said before, we didn't miss it!  God allowed our vehicle to pass right through the other car.  There is no other explanation for this.

    Several years later, I was relating this account to a minister friend and his wife.  By the time I had finished the testimony, he and his wife were just looking at each other.

    When I inquired as to whether something was wrong, they told me of their own story.  It seems that while they were serving as missionaries in the Philippines, they had a similar situation happen to them.  They told their story where they had passed through two large trucks which were coming toward them and had no place to go.  

    Scientifically (proven science, not speculation or conjecture), this could conceivably occur.  When God created all things He allowed empty space between the molecules, even in steel and iron.  Since He can do this, He also can line up all the, molecules in a specific order so that two solid objects can literally pass through each other.  He can allow the molecules of one object to pass through the air space of another.

    He caused an iron axe head to float (2 Kings 6:5,6) and caused a mule to speak (Numbers 22:22-35), so there should be absolutely no doubt that he can cause two things to pass through each other.  God does work in mysterious ways and this indeed is mysterious, but it would not be a very difficult task for Him to do since He created it all in the first place.  Glory be to God!
