Moses and the Burning Book (Part 2)

Hon always thought the biblical Moses had an advantage over church going Christians in 2013.  After all, whose calling was as clear as the burning bush?  But God was correcting Hon through a burning book, the burning words of God in his consciousness. 

Hon realized that every revelation of God, every time God reveals Himself to someone, it is direct and indirect, as direct and indirect as the burning bush. 

Yes, God indeed spoke to Moses from a burning bush—directly.  But is the omnipresent God in a bush?  Or was the bush a means to the end of God’s communication?  Wasn’t the burning bush also indirect communication?  (In fact, was God’s language Hebrew? Could Moses speak directly to God in the eternal language of the trinity?  God speaking to man by definition involves translation.  Who can know God’s mind, or God’s language, except the Spirit of God?)

In other words, when Moses wanted to see “God’s glory,” Moses could not look upon God’s face and live.  He couldn’t see God directly.  Who can?  Who has? 

Indeed, to see the Son is the see the Father, and thus the most direct experience of God we can have.  But here again, the Word—which is eternal, immortal, and invisible--became flesh, mortal, and visible—for us!

In, with, and through all of these thoughts, God had just spoken to Hon, in burning words,  from a burning book; and this communication required the removal of his shoes no less than this was required of Moses.
