Some may ask,
Q: what proof do you have that any spirit creature has ever communicated with people of the earth?
A: According to the Bible where all of my research originates, I have found that Angels spoke Jehovah's message to humans both by voice, direct communication to the minds and hearts of individuals (by inspiration) and also by vision. Sometimes the voice was heard by some and not by others, and sometimes the vision was seen and understood by some and not by others and sometimes a conversation took place.
Jehovah has a personal relationship with humans of the earth. He communicated with them in any number of ways. At times those times he communicated with humans it was one sided where Jehovah just spoke to his prophet, at other times, it was in the form of a conversation. In Numbers Jehovah spoke to humans on many different occasions. Here are a few of the times Jehovah spoke to humans as mentioned in the Bible book of Numbers:
Numbers 1:48 - "Accordingly Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying:"
Numbers 2:1 - "Jehovah now spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:"
Numbers 3:1 - "Now these were the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses in Mount Si′nai"
Numbers 3:14 - "And Jehovah spoke further to Moses in the wilderness of Si′nai"
Numbers 4:1,17,21, 5:1,4, 6:1,22, 8:5,23, 9:4-5, 9-10, 13:1, 15:1, 16:20-23,36,44, 17:1,6 18:8,25, 20:7, 22:7, 24:13, 25:10,16 26:52, 27:18, 28:1, 30:1, 31:1, 34:1,16,29,
Numbers 11:25 "Then Jehovah came down in a cloud and spoke to him and took away some of the spirit that was upon him and put it upon each of the seventy older men. And it came about that as soon as the spirit settled down upon them, then they proceeded to act as prophets; but they did not do it again."
Numbers 16:5-7 - Jehovah often spoke very specifically and sometimes he was not so specific. Here is an example of when he spoke to Korah and was specific in his directions.
5 Then he spoke to Ko′rah and to his entire assembly, saying: “In the morning Jehovah will make known who belongs to him and who is holy and who must come near to him, and whoever he may choose will come near to him.
6 Do this: Take fire holders for yourselves, Ko′rah and his entire assembly,
7 and put fire in them and place incense upon them before Jehovah tomorrow, and it must occur that the man whom Jehovah will choose, he is the holy one. That is enough of YOU, YOU sons of Le′vi!”
At times, Jehovah had his angel speak in his behalf. Here is a few samples of an angel appearing or speaking in behalf of Jehovah:
Exodus 3:2 "Then Jehovah’s angel appeared to him in a flame of fire in the midst of a thornbush. As he kept looking, he saw that the thornbush was on fire, and yet the thornbush was not consumed."
2Kings 1:3 & 15, As for the angel of Jehovah, he spoke to E·li′jah the Tish′bite: (often the angel would begin his message with, "this is what Jehovah has said,"
Jeremiah 7:13 "But you kept doing all these things,’ declares Jehovah, ‘and even though I spoke to you again and again, you did not listen. I kept calling you, but you would not answer."
Daniel 9:14 - “So Jehovah kept watchful and brought calamity on us, for Jehovah our God is righteous in all the works that he has done; yet we have not obeyed his voice.
And the list goes on and on as to when, what, how and why Jehovah spoke to his people.
And yet, the entire Bible is on record for us saying that it (the Bible) was assembled by his faithful humans here on earth as recorded for us at 2 Timothy 3:16 says: “All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial.” The Greek word translated “inspired of God” literally means “God-breathed.” God “breathed” the information we now find in the Bible books into the minds of some 40 writers. The few examples both scientific, historical, and prophetic that we have considered clearly point to but one conclusion. This unique book, the Bible, is a product, not of human wisdom, but of divine origin.
