Apparently, God has remained an undisclosed Being to humans over the years, from the time when the world began to the moment of age of the world. No human could explain the facts of where He lives, who exactly He is, what he is made up of and many other consequential questions fermenting from the rear end of our hearts. These sudden imaginings have posed nothing but various studies capable of dispelling the peremptory case study and answering questions that would, to some extent, remain unanswered. Since, the Being we are talking about would not make Himself available for a cheap search. That is why He’s described as mysterious.
God is hidden, but He’s opened. He’s opened up about Who He is, What He is, and as well as His Whereabouts. He is not hiding from anyone willing to know all these things. That’s just the truth. You may be gobsmacked by that submission, but he would not dare be available for a cheap search by man-made studies, scopes, systems, and devices to get man those secret things. Hence, man finds it complicated to believe that God exists, and some who believes he does exist believe out of fear either by the dangers of this present world or in the world to come. If God is known out of fear and fiery things, He is not rightly deciphered, and could make such a person be convinced once the sharpened mouth of an intoxicator with facts came to disapprove God and everything connected to Him.
God can only be understood in the ways He appeared to us. We would get it wrong if we tried to amend those ways and feature God in the diagram of our perceptions about Him. Isaiah 40:12-13, AMP“Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, And marked off the heavens with a span [of the hand], And calculated the dust of the earth with a [a]measure, And weighed the mountains in a balance And the hills in a pair of scales? Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, or has taught Him as His counselor?” Who can configure God in the sequence of his verbal or quantitative analysis? Absolutely none.
In this post, we will be breaking down into the seven shreds of dimensions God revealed Himself and man was not informed that it was Him. These seven revelations could be a shocker to you as well. It was not even noticed by the people who had the lives experience to witness such moves at their times. They could only detect the incident and not God. They only account for the appearances and not God, (Himself) who appeared. It would be a great outline learning them here.
1. Man Questioning the Voice:
Moses had this experience while he was in the bush side, a close arena to the mountain of God named Horeb. He detected there was a burning bush, rousing with the flames, and it never stopped burning. This is evident. He could not notice what had caused the bush to burn or who could be responsible for it. Could that merely be a disaster? Exodus 3:2, “And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.” It was never a disaster. The bush never got burned. And Moses was amazed at the sight of it. While he was learning about the incident. God seized the moment to introduce that it was Him. God called him unto him by his name. God didn’t change Moses’s biological name. The biological name has a divine imprint.
God introduced himself as the God of his father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. By this introduction. Moses was afraid to proceed to behold. The person speaking to Him was God. The passage says, “And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.” The angel of the Lord made the preparation for the appearance. But it was God himself speaking there in the midst of the bush. God appeared to Moses. Moses was not preliminarily informed. He could not get it straight. Until God spoke unto him.
2. God Appeared Tough and Strong to the Children of Israel in the Wilderness:
Exodus chapter 19 and 20. The Lord descended on Mount Sinai. It was a trembling day as they could not withstand the thunder, lightning, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet was exceeding loud. The children of Israel could not survive the scenario. They had begged Moses to speak to them rather than the appearance of God Himself. God announced himself from Heaven descending on the Mount of Sinai. He is too mighty.
3. The Silent Callings and Gentle Whispers:
Though, Samuel could not see God identically face to face. He heard his voice rightly calling unto him. But he could not understand who it was. He thought it was Eli. He later understood how he could reply and he replied and God spoke to Him. In this respect, God revealed himself to him.
1 Kings 19:11-15, “Go out and stand before me on top of the mountain,” the LORD said to him. Then the LORD passed by and sent a furious wind that split the hills and shattered the rocks—but the LORD was not in the wind. The wind stopped blowing, and then there was an earthquake—but the LORD was not in the earthquake.”
12, “After the earthquake there was a fire—but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire, there was the soft whisper of a voice.”
13 “When Elijah heard it, he covered his face with his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. A voice said to him, “Elijah, what are you doing here?”
14 “He answered, “LORD God Almighty, I have always served you—you alone. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed all your prophets. I am the only one left—and they are trying to kill me.”
15 “The LORD said, “Return to the wilderness near Damascus, then enter the city and anoint Hazael as king of Syria.”
Elijah heard the whisper of God. God spoke to him directly.
4. Abraham and the Guests:
Abraham was in fact the most hospitable man in the history of mankind. The heart of hospitality made God visit him unawares. Hebrews 13:2, “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”
These instructions might have come specifically from the life lived by Abraham. He entertained strangers and those strangers are Divine Beings. While, Abraham was struggling to attend to them. He never thought who they were. He believed they could merely be earthy as they appeared like him. Abraham entertained three strangers, unknowingly hosting the Lord and two angels. God often reveals Himself in the form of the unrecognized needy, or unexpected guest.
5. Natural Testing and Concepts:
In the natural law, the Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887. There is the failed experiment to detect the luminiferous aether; a disappointment. The uninformed man. Otherwise, the constant speed of light and the relativity of space and time (the foundation of modern physics) proved God’s hidden identity but He is Real.
6. The Daily Miracle of Life: Psalm 19:1-4 on the subject of Creation & Natural Law:
The heavens “declare the glory of God,” offering a constant, universal, wordless revelation. Humanity is “uninformed” because we stop seeing the miracle in the mundane mechanics of the universe.
7. The Historical Subject:
This subject and personality is the Son of God, Jesus Christ. He was God’s incarnate. But none could ever see the divinity in Him. He manifested himself often but people still see him as nothing to God.
John 1:14, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” This personality was not even recognized by the people of his own. John 1:11. He came to his own and they received him not. They conceived that this personality is a risk to their moral connection, political views, and legal state of affairs. They demanded his death while he was imprisoned. With no outstanding legal case against him, he was put to death. And the other criminal was made free.
Thomas and Philip were confused about him. They could not have felt enough of God. They were questioning Jesus Christ. “Show us the way! Show us the father!” They never properly knew while he was with them that the man Jesus Christ is the appearance of God. What else should they have requested if they had known Christ was inside God and God was in Christ?
Paul even said that if they had [The princes of this world] knew about him, Jesus Christ. They would not have crucified him.
God has manifested himself in these seven hidden ways. Prominently, clearly, and straightforward. But man has found it difficult to reckon with God still and declaring that He does not exist or portraying him as a disgusting element. The seven dimensions have deepened understandings that God exists if we will choose to go with him.
