42. * since such actual conversations have been carried on with me over such a long period of time, and in fact continuously, by various methods, just like one earthly human speaking with another. Consequently, the conversations of Jehovah through angels with Adam, Abel, Noah before and after the flood, with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, with Moses, and later with those spoken of in the Word of God the Messiah, are so undoubtedly factual, that no one should ever call them into question - nor the fact that there are many methods of revelation, spoken of elsewhere [3, WE 1144, 15-16]. As a matter of fact, all that has been written up to this point, was written in consultation with many who died of old, with many spirits and angels of God the Messiah, even to the extent that they spoke with me about these matters beforehand and afterwards. However, I am allowed to add here that I have not been permitted to say anything here that was dictated orally to me by any of them (when this did take place, as it sometimes did, it had to be erased), but only the things that streamed in from God the Messiah Alone, indirectly through them, and directly. This was very plain to me (but this will be spoken of elsewhere, if God the Messiah finds it fitting). [Close; Heaven; Earthly human (Man); Speak, Speech; Revelation]
