Revelation: God is Not Silent

He has not been silent. A nation exists today which should have been extinguished long ago. For thousands of years, strong and powerful nations have tried to annihilate the Jews. Their survival and the existence of the modern state of Israel is historical evidence that God has spoken and He is not silent. He is active in history and the Jewish nation is evidence of that. The Jews gave the world the Scriptures of the Old Testament. Through the Jews also came the Lord Jesus Christ. God spoke to mankind in history as recorded in the Old Testament Scriptures, and God spoke through Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ interpreted the scriptures of the Old Testament. He founded the church which has safeguarded the historical meaning of the person and work of Jesus Christ and recorded the divine interpretation of events of Christ’s life and work in the books of the New Testament. The Scriptures of the Old Testament and the New Testament interpret all of human history.

As men come to read the scriptures, the meaning of the historical events concerning the Jews, and concerning Jesus Christ is made clear in the minds and hearts of sincere and honest searchers of God. The meaning and interpretation of Christ’s life is made clear. These are truths that cannot be deduced from argumentation and debate. That is why it is called revelation. Revealed truth can only be accepted. God is not silent. He speaks and rewards those who come to God and believe that He exists. He is the Interpreter of scripture and of history.

“There is one body and one Spirit…one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians 4:4-6)
