At no point in history was God ever
silent. God has always
communicated with his people in
some way or another. We can be rest
assured that if God wants something
said, it will be heard. It thus
behooves us not to determine
whether God speaks today, but how
He does it.
Even a cursory reading of the
Prophets would reveal that God used
a diversity of means to communicate
with his people. Sometimes he did so
through dreams, visions, an audible
voice, an antiphony etc. There were
also occasions when the Bible just
stated that God spoke to a prophet
without saying how. All we know is
that however God did it, it was
unmistakable. There was no doubt in
the mind of the prophet or his
audience that God had indeed
spoken through him. The only
exceptions were those who had
political reasons not to hear God’s
prophets. But the bottom line is that
there was no formula to dictate how
God spoke, and neither is there any
today.
