Interesting revelations

The testimony of the Eternal is true. Psalm 19.8

Barring extraordinary personal revelation, God makes himself known by four means, accessible to all.

He reveals himself through his Creation. Louis Pasteur and Francis Bacon said : "A little science takes us away from God, a lot brings us closer". The more science progresses, the more it reveals admirable architectures. If the water molecule did not contain an angle of exactly 109.45 degrees, life would not be possible.

God also reveals himself through the existence of the Jewish people, as his physician Zimmermann reminded Frederick II of Prussia. What people has survived without a country for twenty centuries, keeping its identity, and despite the numerous and still current attempts to eliminate it ?

He reveals himself through Holy Scripture, despite all that has been attempted to censor, twist or dilute his message. A 16th century engraving depicts it as an anvil, with the following quote, attributed to Théodore de Bèze : “The more you have fun hitting me, the more hammers you use there”.

God finally reveals himself through his Son, Jesus Christ. Other means alone do not lead to salvation. Jesus Christ is the "red thread" of all divine revelation. To eliminate him by death did not succeed : He is risen ! James Irwin, Apollo astronaut, said : "It is more important that Jesus Christ walked the Earth than man walked the Moon."
