The Nature of God and the old and new Testaments.
In the essence of the nature of god, He is eternal which indicates that He is alive forevermore. Through diverse forms, living object express themselves and do so convincingly (in the light of scripture). Speech or ability to communicate is a feature of God.
In the Old Testament, expressions such as “thou saith the Lord” and “give heed to my instructions” abound more among the patriarchs and the prophets (and some kings and other characters) to indicate that God speaks.
In the New Testament, we notice references and quotations from the Old Testament to affirm what God spoke under the dispensation of the Patriarch, the law, the Prophets and in the psalms. Jesus made some of these references as well as the disciples and Paul. The author of Hebrews gives a portrait of Old Testament worship with a New Testament outlook.
