The 14 Ways God Has Revealed Himself By Michael J. Vlach, Ph.D.
Before we look at the fourteen ways in which God has revealed Himself, though, let’s briefly look at the meaning of “revelation.” The word “revelation” comes from the Greek word apokalupsis which means “disclosure” or “unveiling.” Revelation, thus, has to do with revealing, uncovering, or unveiling what previously was hidden. When used in a theological sense, “revelation” refers to God’s intentional manifestation of Himself and His plans.

If Christians today would drop the carnal reasoning and understand the spiritual significance of this and how it applies to God's plan of salvation for all, their view of God would radically change and true worship would ensue.
And we could get on with changing the world instead of everyone looking up in the sky.

Isaiah 29:11-14,18-20,24 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: 12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned ,saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. 13 Wherefore the Lord said,Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: 14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. 19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Quote:
Matthew 5:5 The meek shall inherit the earth.
20For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and ALL that watch for iniquity are cut off:
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
Peace!
