He Could Look At His Tablet To See Any Place On Earth - In the 1800s!
How did Jakob Lorber have a tablet? In the 1800s?
He was born in 1800 and died in 1864, in Graz, Austria. I found his obituary in the newspaper: Grazer Zeitung 25-Aug-1864
In German:

Today, we could use a tablet to load up Google Maps and view the street Lorber lived on in Graz, Austria.
According to the old newspaper, he lived on Laimburggasse.
In his book "12 Hours" (available in the library), he describes looking at his tablet to see any place on Earth. As we might use Google Maps today, he could look at his tablet and see whatever God wanted to show him. Yes, God gave him the use of that tablet, before the internet was known to the world.

Musical news. (Mr. Jakob Lorber), a Styrian, who has often been heard here with much applause both in concert halls and at the regular theater on the stage, is determined to undertake an artistic tour. Since he has continued his musical studies with the utmost zeal ever since his last public appearance in 1839, and has especially achieved a notable level of skill in bravura passages, it is not to be doubted that his artistic venture will be accompanied by a successful outcome.
