Mystical Encounters in the Bible: A Journey into Visions, Dreams, and Divine Encounters

By The Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Schmitt

What happens when the veil between heaven and earth is pulled back?

When angels speak, dreams guide, and the glory of God fills the room?

In When Heaven Breaks Through, Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Schmitt invites you on a powerful and deeply reflective journey through the mystical encounters of the Bible—those breathtaking moments when God makes His presence known in visions, dreams, voices, and fire. From Jacob’s ladder to Ezekiel’s wheels, from Isaiah’s temple vision to John’s Revelation, these divine breakthroughs not only shape the story of Scripture but awaken our hearts to a God who still speaks.

With pastoral warmth and spiritual insight, this book explores:

• What biblical mysticism really means—and what it doesn’t
• How dreams and visions serve God’s purposes in Scripture
• What these ancient encounters reveal about God’s nature today
• How ordinary people are transformed by extraordinary experiences
• Ways we can become more open to God’s movement in our own lives

Each chapter includes biblical teaching, theological reflection, and personal stories from decades of pastoral ministry, inviting readers not just to study mysticism—but to experience God afresh.

This is not a book about escape. It’s a book about awakening.

Because when heaven breaks through, everything changes.
