God communicates with humanity through the Word—God the Son—Jesus Christ, and in times past He spoke through the prophets.
John 1:1 says the Word was God, and Les Feldick teaches that this Word is God the Son, the communicator within the Godhead. Hebrews 1:1 shows that God previously spoke by the prophets, while the burning bush account gives a direct example of God speaking to Moses.
John 1:1 — Identifies the Word as God and shows that God's communication comes through the Word who is God the Son.
Hebrews 1:1 — States that God spoke in times past through the prophets, giving the biblical basis for God's earlier communication.
Exodus 3:6 — Records God speaking directly to Moses from the burning bush and revealing Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
John 1:1 declares, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:3 continues, "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." These verses show that God's creative speaking is attributed to the Word, who is God. Hebrews 1:1 says, "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets." This indicates that God communicated to His people through the prophets over time. Exodus 3:6 provides an example of direct communication: "Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God."
Les Feldick teaches that within the triune God—Father, Son, and Spirit—God the Son is the communicator. He emphasizes that the Greek word for "Word" in John 1:1 denotes communication; therefore the Son is the One through whom God speaks. From creation, where God the Son spoke the Word and things happened, to the burning bush, where the Angel of the LORD who spoke to Moses was Christ, Les shows the same divine Person communicating with humanity. Les also teaches that the entire Bible, although inspired by the Holy Spirit, is presented as the words of God the Son. He points to Hebrews 1:1 to show that the triune God spoke in past ages by the prophets, but he insists the voice behind those words was God the Son. Paul likewise heard Jesus speaking to him on the road to Damascus.
In John 1:1 the Word is called God, and Les Feldick points out that a word is how we communicate. He calls God the Son "the communicator" who spoke creation into existence. Because man needed a communicator after he was created, God provided the Word—God the Son—to speak to humanity.
Hebrews 1:1 says God spoke at sundry times and in divers manners by the prophets. According to Les Feldick, this is the triune God speaking, and he identifies the voice that spoke to the Old Testament prophets as God the Son. Paul heard the same Jesus speaking to him in the New Testament era.
Les Feldick teaches that the Angel of the LORD at the burning bush was God the Son—the Redeemer, Christ, Jehovah—and that He was also called God. The text of Exodus 3:6 shows God identifying Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look upon God.
John 1:3 says all things were made by the Word. Les Feldick emphasizes that in every creative act the triune God was involved, but God the Son is the One who spoke the words that caused creation to happen. From Adam formed from dust to Eve presented to Adam, God the Son spoke and it happened.
The Burning Bush: God the Son Speaking to Moses
Les identifies the Angel of the LORD at the burning bush as God the Son, the Redeemer, called God, who said to Moses, "I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
The Word as Communicator
Les explains that the term Word means communication, and God the Son is the One who by His spoken word created everything, with the whole Trinity involved.
God the Son as the Speaker of Scripture
Les teaches that the Word was the communicator and that the Bible is the Word of the very person of the Godhead who communicates—God the Son.
Hebrews 1:1 and Prophetic Revelation
Les reads Hebrews 1:1 as the triune God speaking in times past to Israel's fathers by the prophets, and he says every word of Scripture has come through the words of God the Son.
Words that Created Mankind
Les shows that God the Son spoke the word and Adam appeared, and He spoke again to form Eve—the same One who hung on the cross spoke creation into being.
God the Son in Creative Acts
Les emphasizes that while the Trinity was involved in creation, New Testament revelation shows God the Son as the One who spoke the Word that made creation a viable act.
Man's Need for a Communicator
After man appeared, he needed both a Savior and a communicator; Les shows from John 1:1 that the Word—God the Son—is that communicator.
The Word Was God
Les stresses that Jesus was just as much God as the Father and the Spirit, and that "all things were made by Him," the Word, who communicated with the Godhead even within Himself.
John 1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
This verse directly answers the question because it identifies the Word as God; God's communication to humanity comes through the Word.
John 1:3: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
God's creative communication is through the Word, showing the Word was the agent of creation.
Hebrews 1:1: God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
This shows God spoke in earlier ages through the prophets, a key part of how God communicated before Christ's coming.
Exodus 3:6: Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
An example of God speaking directly to Moses from the burning bush, a passage Les uses to teach that God the Son was the speaker.
According to Les Feldick and the Scriptures he points to, God's communication is through the Word, God the Son. The Bible itself is the words of God the Son, inspired by the Holy Spirit. In earlier times God spoke through prophets, but the same divine communicator was behind those words.
Les teaches yes—the Angel of the LORD at the burning bush was God the Son, the Redeemer, called God. He said to Moses, "I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."
Les shows the Word is capitalized as a name of deity and is God. In John 1:1 the Word was with God and the Word was God, and Les connects that Word to God the Son who speaks and creates.
