Subject: The Posture of The Angel |
Bible Note: I think it's wonderful, our God knows just what kind of message and who should be the carrier of that message, depending on the intended recipient. To Moses, God first appeared as a burning bush and then as their relationship developed, Moses grew more and more bold, even negotiating for the lives of God's followers, the Isrealite nation. Jacob wrestles with an angel and gets a special message from him. It's already been mentioned on this Forum before the talking donkey. There were the Judges of God sent to be leaders for the Israelite nation but of course we know they grew to prefer their own king, like their neighbors. There was the hand of God writing on the wall for a foreigner, King Belshazzar in Daniel 5. And the cloven tounges of fire to the Apostles in Acts 2. We have all the prophets of God throughout the OT and the NT relaying God's guidance to mankind. And of course, the ultimate mouthpiece for God was His very own Son, a perfect representation of God Himself came to this earth to show us what perfect Godliness is all about AND to die and save the lost of mankind. Yes, God has come to mankind in a wide variety of ways and through a tremendously wide variety of men and women from all walks of life to get His message of love and desire for reconcilation. Thanks be to Him, He is perseverant in pursuing us so that we might listen to what He has to say. God bless you. |
