Divinity speaks to humanity in different ways.
The Almighty communed with our 1st parents in the garden of Eden in what was called ‘the cool of the day,’ which may have been at the junction of afternoon and evening.
Those ways may have been less direct after the Fall.
We do not know how God communed with Noah and Abraham.
He gave Noah the precise dimensions of the ark, knowing just how many animals and humans would be aboard.
He knew, of the vast multitudes Noah preached to during the 120 years the ark was constructed, none would come aboard.
Every time I see a rainbow, I’m reminded of His promise that never again will Earth be destroyed by water.
As writer James Baldwin entitled one of his works, it’s “The Fire Next Time.”
Angels in human form communed with Lot. We should be careful how we treat strangers. They may be angels in human disguise.
Jacob was given a dream, and wrestled with an angel.
Joseph was given the correct interpretation of dreams. And, because he was careful in small matters, he was made ruler over larger matters.
It was via a desert bush that was on fire but would not burn up that the Almighty called Moses.
The face of Moses shone such it was difficult to look upon after he spent 40 days on Mt. Sinai receiving the Decalogue.
