God spoke in times past to the fathers, the forefathers of Israel, by the prophets through the Old Testament writings. Scripture says He spoke at sundry times and in diverse manners. This was the triune God of heaven and creation communicating through the prophetic writings.

Les teaches from Hebrews chapter 1, verse 1 that God—the triune God of heaven and of creation—spoke in times past to the fathers, meaning the forefathers of Israel.

Who is the God who spoke to the fathers?
