REVELATION MAKES YAHWEH KNOWN 3

Revelation makes God known

I.Can someone call himself the messenger of a non-revealing god?

   God revealed Himself to Moses and talked to him (Ex.25:9);
         The Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend (Ex.33:11; Num.12:8)

    God did not reveal Himself to Muhammad and did not talked to him personally

    Who, Moses or Muhammad, knows God personally and is able to speak about the glory of God?

           Having God, listening and talking to Him, and knowing Him personally affect all dimensions of our life and provides us with reasons to talk about Him

Revelation makes God known

Can someone proclaim God without knowing Him?

Can someone know God without the revelation of God?

       Knowing God is not only to know facts about God but to    know Him personally as one person can know another in trust and in love 

Those who do not believe in God’s revelation cannot speak about God.
