You know we have a tendency to read the Bible as if miracles were occurring behind every bush.

But actually if you look at the appearance of miracles in the Bible, they're clustered.

You know, miracles in the Bible are not given to persuade people of the existence of God.

The existence of God has already established long before there's any kind of episodes of the

miraculous. The purpose of the miracle in the Bible is not to prove the existence of God, but it is to prove the legitimacy and the validity of an agent of revelation

of someone whom God has commissioned to speak his word.

The purpose of the miracle is to verify the messenger of the word of God.

Watch that in scripture throughout. You know, we have a tendency to read the Bible

as if miracles were occurring behind every bush

and every other day by everybody in history.

But actually, if you look at the appearance of miracles in history. But actually if you look at the appearance of miracles in the Bible,

they're clustered. There are all these miracles that attend Moses in his mediatorial office.

And then very little miraculous activity takes place for centuries.

Until when?

Al

Elijah.

That's the next

redemptive historical period that has a cluster of miracles.

Isn't that interesting?

That God verifies the law and then the prophets through the giving of miraculous powers.

And then you don't hear about miracles from Jonah or Herbakak, that they performed or Ezekiel,

I mean the other prophets of the Old Testament, until again the world becomes aaze of miracles with the appearance of Jesus.
