Document Summary
Devine revelation and prophecy are common to all three of these abrahamic religions (judaism, christianity and islam). Views and understanding of these three concepts are a little different. The message that god speaks will have divine moral content. God had different messages in all these religions. The way god communicates in all these religions is different. This idea is also seen in islam and christianity. It denotes a god that is personal, all powerful, and all loving: moses went up mount cyanide and asked god for his name (in exodus) and he responds with tell the people i am who i am . Hebrew was originally written without any vowels, over the years people became unsure of how to vocalize this. It is not possible to translate to one english phrase. I am who i will be i am who i was i am a being . Meaning in god: we humans do not create ourselves.
