Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 25, 2025

INTRODUCTION: According to the Bible, God speaks in several ways. In the Old Testament, God often communicated with His people directly, through theophanies, or audible speech, as when He spoke to Moses from the burning bush (Exodus 3:4) or gave the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai (Exodus 20:1). ...read more
