Listen!
For the Lord has Spoken

Hebrews 1:1-2
In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

How God Spoke to the Prophets
- a voice from heaven
- dreams
- face to face
- visions
- angels
- Holy Spirit

2 Peter 1:20-21
