Melchizedek
Before Salem was Jerusalem After
The law was given by Moses but Jesus gave us the Spirit and Truth. History mentions God but not much of anything about the Spirit before Jesus.
God spoke to His prophets by placing ideas in their hearts, epiphany-like. They believed these sudden revelations so strongly and they spoke with such authority that I recall reading that Jesus said their fathers killed the prophets and later their sons revered them. I do not have the chapter and verse on it right now, still I recall it right well.
But I also recall the ancient writers saying that God looked down and saw that man could achieve anything he set his mind to. This was in connection with the building of the tower of Babel, which only slowed them down until man walked on the moon.
I think to myself, how did they know they would eventually walk on the moon, even saying that God looked down?
Now of course we know there is no actual thinking of down or up since all the reflecting lights in the sky are hung, incredibly, in empty space. That is, if we can believe it. 😉
