Revelation of God, 3of7

Revelation of God, 3of7 

~ Special Revelation, 1of3 ~

7-Step Progressive Revelation  ~  The word revelation essentially means revealing.  God has, is, and will, reveal Himself to man in seven distinctive stages.  This progression occurs during three distinct major categories: General (or Natural) Revelation, Special Revelation, and Applied Revelation.  This series will focus on this unfolding seven step progression. 

Special Revelation  ~   Special Revelation refers to God intervening in man’s life on earth in ways that provide more specific information about God than can be obtained from General Revelation. 

3—God Revealing Himself on Tablets of Stone (The 10 Commandments)  ~  “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them.’  So Moses arose with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up to the mountain of God.  And he said to the elders, ‘Wait here for us until we come back to you. Indeed, Aaron and Hur are with you.  If any man has a difficulty, let him go to them.’  Then Moses went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain” (Exodus 24:12-15). 

“And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God” (Exodus 31:18). 

“Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Write these words, for according to the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.’  So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water.  And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments” (Exodus 34:27-28).
