The Voice Of God Series

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He (Jesus) was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Genesis 1

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

Sound was the first element of Creation

The first thing that happened in Creation was The Word. “God said. Let there be light”

Brian Greene: Albert Einstein dreamed of finding what he called a Unified Theory. By that he meant a single idea, a single principle, maybe even a single equation that might describe everything in the universe. He worked long and hard many decades to try to find the theory and he never did. Since his passing many physicists haven take up where he left off, and many of us believe then an approach called String Theory may be the Unified Theory that he was looking for. And the basic idea of the unified description of all matter is pretty straightforward. If you take any piece of material, say a piece of wood, cut it in half, cut it in half again, keep on cutting it to ever smaller pieces, the basic question is what’s the smallest piece that you get to? What is the finest uncuttable constituent? Now we all know if you cut fine enough you get molecules, if you cut them up, you get atoms, if you cut them up even further you get other particles, electrons going around the nucleus with neutrons and protons, even though the neutrons and protons are smaller entities called quarks. The conventional idea stopped there. String Theory comes along and says “There may be one more layer of structure: inside an electron, inside a quark, inside any particle you have heard of, according to these ideas, is a little tiny filament. Looks like a tiny little string, that’s why it’s called String Theory, and the little strings can vibrate in different patterns.”

So the idea is that, according to this theory an electron can be a string vibrating in one pattern. You can call it a middle C if you want, by the musical analogy, a quark could be a string vibrating at a different pattern like an A. So the difference between one particle and another is simply the note that its string is playing. And this is the unified description that this theory puts forward: everything can be reduced to the notes these fundamental strings are playing. Now that’s metaphorical. There’s math behind this, that allows us to see all of the key elements of physics can find a home in this description, but in a nutshell that’s what this theory says.

What scientist really are saying is that sound signatures define what different molecules are and modern science says that string theory is connected to the theory of the Big Bang.

The Voice of God

Well today I am here to tell you that Science just found what we already know from the Bible that in the beginning was the sound of God’s voice.

John describes the voice of God like this,

Revelation 1:10 - I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet,

Psalms 47:5 - God has ascended with a shout, The LORD, with the sound of a trumpet.

A voice, a loud voice that sounds like a trumpet. I have never heard a voice that sounds like a trumpet but we get the idea of a loud vibration that is a voice because voices form Words.

Revelation 14:2 - And I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder, and the voice which I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps.

I don’t know what do you think about this but it is obvious to me that God’s voice is really hard to describe. I would say that most Biblical accounts have 2 things in common

1. It is Loud

2. Vibrates

Why does it matter? Well it is interesting to see that Science keeps finding things that we already know from the Bible.

Can you hear the voice of God?

Habakkuk knew the sound of God speaking to him (Hab. 2:2). Elijah described it as a still, small voice (I Kings 19:12). I had always listened for an inner audible voice, and God does speak that way at times. However, I have found that usually, God's voice comes as spontaneous thoughts, visions, feelings, or impressions.
