(*Translation note: A nature-revelation is a revelation given through something in nature.)
- Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
Both God and the Holy Spirit give revelations according to time. Fundamentally, They give revelations when you are listening to ‘the Word’ so that you will realize. Sometimes They give you revelations when you are praying deeply so that you will realize. Sometimes They give you revelations through dreams, and sometimes They give you revelations by showing you creation as a parable. When something is urgent, They give you revelations by showing you creation and using that as ‘a parable’ for an instant. However, if you don’t know about ‘nature-revelations’ and don’t pay attention, you will look at it not thinking much of it just as you see it during regular daily life. Because you don’t learn even if [something] is shown to you through creation, you are unable to interpret it correctly. With both nature-revelations and receiving revelations in general, you have to learn in order for you to receive them.
God shows various creation and lets us realize what He wants us to realize by letting us make the connection with people, buildings, or problems according to the unique qualities of the creation. In other words, God shows us what He intended to show us by showing us ‘creation’ as a parable for it. He then lets us make the connection with what He intended to show us, and lets us realize what He intended by telling us “This is good” or “This is bad.” In other words, God gives revelations by using the creation He created as the writing. When He shows us creation and we see that form and image directly, it feels more specific and real. If you want to understand and interpret nature-revelations in detail, you have to have basic knowledge of the unique qualities of that creation and its image and form. It is because a revelation comes in connection with the unique qualities of that creation and its image and form.
And, you can realize the Trinity’s spiritual revelations only if you are spiritual and intuitive because you have prayed. You have to know this as the basics and keep learning at higher levels and utilize it. If you do, through the creation He showed you as a parable you will know what His intended purpose is – what God and the Holy Spirit are making you realize and what purpose They are taking action with – and take action on it.
The Almighty Trinity are talking to you through the language of creation and the written words of creation. So, you have to value the nature-revelations, learn them and take action on them. People who learn nature-revelations, pay attention to them, and use them will connect and converse with the Trinity every day. When you look at the Bible, there are thousands of places where God spoke to people and gave them revelations through creation and people. Everything [God] said using creation as a parable is ‘the Word He spoke through creation’ and ‘revelations.’ When [God] gives you a revelation by showing you creation as ‘a parable,’ you will make the connection and realize as you personally see the unique qualities, image, and form of that creation. Therefore, it is easy [to understand], you realize easily, and you feel it real.
When giving nature-revelations, He first shows you something in creation and lets you realize the meaning of the content through that. So, the creation He is showing you is important too, but what you realize through that creation is important. Nature-revelations are [revelations in which God] shows you something using creation as a parable and lets you realize by making a connection to reality. When people try to make someone understand something, they use creation as ‘a parable,’ don’t they? When referring to someone with long and slender legs, people can easily understand if you use the parable of ‘a crane*’ and say, “He has long and slender legs like a crane.” (*Translation note: a crane as in a bird.) When describing someone with a thin waste, people can easily understand it if you use the parable of ‘an ant’ and say, “His waist is like ‘an ant’s waist.” In the same way, God speaks using something in creation that is applicable as ‘a parable’ in order to make it easy for people to understand. Even if it is a small thing in creation, if its unique qualities are connected to reality, He shows that and connects it to the actual intended purpose. And He shows ‘a sign.’
Nature-revelations are ‘Heaven’s language.’ That is why both God and the Holy Spirit let you realize things by showing you creation. If there is no creation He can show as a parable during waking hours, He gives the revelation by showing creation in a dream as a parable. Especially when God gives a revelation through a dream, He shows something that is appropriate and perfect using an object that is appropriate for that. However, the recipients fail to realize or interpret it correctly. This is because even though [the object] may not seem that way when seen ‘externally’ in reality, it looks different when seen spiritually in a dream. Therefore, you have to pray with interest. Then it will be clear!
There is truly a lot of variety in creation. Even among the same type of creation, each has a different look, image, and form in their individual ways. God lets you realize by showing you creation that is most appropriate for the real intended purpose. Therefore, you have to have an abundance of ‘knowledge and wisdom’ about the creation that God created, all lifeforms, and about people. Then when God shows you something, you will interpret it in deep and mysterious ways with ‘knowledge and wisdom,’ receive realizations, and understand well when it is explained to you. If you don’t know nature-revelations, you will not know it even if God enlightens you by showing you ‘creation or people’ as a parable, and you will end up just thinking, ‘Am I thinking this way by my own desires?’ Therefore, even when it comes to nature-revelations, like you would learn academics, how to draw, and how to play various sports, you have to learn!!! Then you will know.
To the ones who have learned about nature-revelations and know, God gives revelations by showing creation as a parable and lets them realize. If you make the connection between reality and the creation you were shown as a parable and ask detailed questions about each one, He will let you realize. If it is a revelation that God and the Holy Spirit gave, that revelation will be connected with reality and become real! I hope that all of you will learn Heaven’s language, nature-revelations, always converse with God and the Holy Spirit, gain by realizing and taking action on the things that God is making you realize through creation. [And I hope that you will] know and take action on the sign that God showed you through creation and thus, gain from that and testify!
