Revelation

The Lord favoured Israel with His revelation. They received His oracles as well as the promises, covenants, adoption to sonship, and manifestation of His glory (Rom. 3:2, 9:4-5). His relation to Israel was full of grace and promise as He guided His people to be a royal priesthood (Exod. 19:5-6) in all the activities (personal, liturgical, economic, societal and political)He led them into His way of wisdom so that they might receive His peace and fulfilment of His promises (Isa. 48:17-19)   Israel was unique in their claim to divine revelation, God, the King of this world, had given Israel His revelation by which they might prosper on His Earth. All He expected was faith, devotion and submission to His instruction. Under those conditions Israel will develop a counterculture among the nations and enjoyed the benefits of Gods Kingdom (Deut. 30:12-14, Romans 10:6-8)   God’s revelation was His gift to Israel. He had brought them out of Egypt into Canaan. He had instructed, comforted, fed, guided, disciplined, and promised to be with Israel in prosperity and adversity. But revelation demands a response of absolute loyalty and submission to the God who has spoken. Any deviation from the way of revelation slight as it may be, degrades revelation into religion
