How Has God Spoken to Us in These Last Days?

Direct Answer

God has spoken to us in these last days through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 1:1-2 says the God who spoke through the prophets in time past has now spoken to us by His Son. Les Feldick emphasizes that the phrase "hath spoken" is a past-tense, finished transaction, and the "last days" run from Christ's birth to the end of the age. There is no further special revelation beyond what is in Scripture.

Key Scriptures

Hebrews 1:2 — This verse directly answers the question: God hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son.

What Does the Bible Say?

Hebrews 1:1-2 opens with a contrast: God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things and by whom He made the worlds. The same chapter goes on to say that the Son is the brightness of God's glory, the express image of His person, and that He upholds all things by the word of His power (Hebrews 1:3). The Bible itself identifies the Son as the Word: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). Scripture also says that holy men spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (2 Peter 1:21).

What Does Les Feldick Teach About God Speaking in These Last Days?

Les Feldick emphasizes that Hebrews 1:1-2 shows the triune God speaking to mankind through His Son. He says the "last days" are not merely the closing days of the age but the entire period from Christ's birth to the end. He also notes that the phrase "hath spoken" is a past-tense, finished transaction, so there is no further special revelation from God today. Les teaches that while the Holy Spirit was the instrument in writing Scripture, the Lord Jesus was the One speaking — Paul received revelation from the ascended Christ, and John received the Revelation from the ascended Lord. He likewise connects the Son to creation, teaching that God the Son is the One who spoke the Word that brought all things into being and that the universe is held together by His word of power.

What Are the "Last Days" in Hebrews 1:2?

Les Feldick teaches that the "last days" in Scripture are not just the final closing days before Christ returns. He says, "Remember, the last days in Scripture are not the closing days of the age. It's from the time of Christ's birth to the end. That's the last days." So the entire period from Christ's first coming until the end of the age is when God has spoken to us by His Son.

Does God Still Give Special Revelation Today?

Les Feldick directly refutes people who claim to have a special revelation beyond Scripture. He says his Bible says "it is finished" and "there is no further revelation." Pointing to Hebrews 1:2, he explains that God "hath" spoken — a past-tense, finished transaction — in the last days by His Son. Therefore, no additional revelation is needed or given beyond what is in the Bible.

Who Was Speaking When Scripture Was Written?

Les Feldick acknowledges that Scripture is Holy Spirit inspired. He notes that holy men wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, and every word of the Bible is the Word of God. But he also teaches that the Apostle Paul repeatedly testified that the Lord Jesus Himself appeared to him and revealed these things. In the book of Revelation, it was the Ascended Lord who revealed the Revelation to John. So the Holy Spirit was the instrument, but it was the Lord Jesus who was speaking.

How Does the Son's Role in Creation Relate to Hebrews 1:2?

Hebrews 1:2 says that by the Son God made the worlds, and Hebrews 1:3 says the Son upholds all things by the word of His power. Les Feldick expands this, teaching that even though the whole Trinity was involved in creation, God the Son is the One who actually spoke the Word that brought everything into existence, including man. He also notes that the word "Word" denotes communication and that Jesus Christ, the Creator, was crucified by His own created beings. This identifies the Son through whom God speaks as the same Creator who died for mankind.

From the Teaching

The Creator Crucified

Les shows from Ephesians 3:9 that Jesus Christ is designated as the Creator, and he points out that the created beings who nailed Christ to the cross were crucifying their own Creator.

God Speaks Through His Son

Les reads Hebrews 1:1-2 and explains that the triune God who spoke through the prophets has in these last days spoken through His Son. He clarifies that the last days are the entire period from Christ's birth to the end.

No Further Revelation

Les uses Hebrews 1:2 to refute people who claim special revelation today. The verb "hath spoken" is past tense and finished, so there is no further revelation beyond the Bible.

The Son Speaks in Scripture

Les explains that although the Holy Spirit was the instrument, the Lord Jesus was the One speaking — Paul heard Jesus speaking to him, and John received Revelation from the ascended Lord.

The Son Upholds All Things

Les reads Hebrews 1:1-3 and emphasizes that Jesus is the appointed heir, the One by whom God made the worlds, and the One who upholds the universe by His word of power.

The Son Speaks Creation into Being

Les teaches that although the whole Trinity was involved in creation, God the Son is the One who actually spoke the Word that made creation a reality.

Scripture Is the Word of God

Les points to Peter's statement that holy men spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, and he affirms that every word of the Bible is the Word of God that can be trusted.

The Word Communicates Creation

Les explains that "the Word" in John's Gospel means communication, and that God the Son by the spoken Word created everything, including man, with the Father and the Spirit involved.

Bible Verses

Hebrews 1:1: God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

This is the contrast verse: God's former way of speaking through the prophets is set against His final speech by the Son.

Hebrews 1:2: Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

This is the key verse that directly answers the question — God has spoken in these last days through His Son.

Hebrews 1:3: Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

The verse shows the Son's divine character and creative power; Les cites it to show how Jesus is the One who upholds all things.

John 1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Les connects the Son to "the Word," which denotes communication and identifies Jesus as the One through whom God speaks and creates.

2 Peter 1:21: For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

This verse supports the inspired nature of Scripture; Les uses it to affirm that every word is God's Word.

Does Les Feldick teach that God still speaks through visions or special revelation?

No. Les says that anyone claiming a special revelation beyond the Bible flies in the face of Hebrews 1:2. He says "my Bible says it's finished" and there is no further revelation.
