Lots

"Long ago God spoke to the ancestors," Hebrews 1:1.

Yes, a long time ago, but not just a long time ago from our present. A long time ago from the perspective of the writer. And this writer wrote about two millennia ago! So. Long before that, God spoke. God spoke lots of times. God spoke in lots of ways. God spoke through his prophets. The ancestors were forefathers of all the Jews. Of all the Jews then living for whom this letter was being written. How did they know God spoke in that long ago time? God's prophets wrote the talks that God gave. All the things God spoke way back then, they wrote down. All these writings got collected into a book. The Hebrew Bible: God spoke. The old fathers heard God lots of times and and in lots of ways.

We visit with a brother or sister today to share messages from God. And together we give thanks to God that he has spoken abundantly in different ways so that we understand and can follow into life.
