Were miracles common in the Old Testament?
Yes, the Old Testament records that the supernatural and miraculous were rather commonplace. Examples include Elijah being suddenly transported to heaven, Enoch being translated, Israel passing through the Red Sea, and God coming down on Mount Sinai. These miracles occurred over and over throughout that period.
Les teaches that all the way up through the Old Testament, the supernatural and miraculous were rather commonplace. He points to examples: Elijah suddenly transported to heaven, Enoch translated, Israel going through the Red Sea, and God coming down on Mount Sinai—over and over. He notes that we don't have any problem with these Old Testament miracles. He also connects this to Revelation, where the plagues are a repetition of what took place under the pharaohs in Egypt through Moses, but whereas those were regional, the future judgments will be worldwide. This underscores that miracles were not isolated but a regular feature of God's dealings in the Old Testament.
