The Bible is filled with stories of divine encounters where individuals had direct experiences with God. One of the most famous examples is Moses, who encountered God in the form of a burning bush on Mount Horeb (Exodus 3:1-15). In this encounter, God revealed himself to Moses and commissioned him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
Another well-known example is the Apostle Paul, who had a transformative encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-19). In this encounter, Paul was struck blind and heard the voice of Jesus, who revealed himself as the Son of God and commissioned Paul to spread the Gospel.
Other examples of divine encounters in the Bible include Jacob’s wrestling with an angel (Genesis 32:22-32), Isaiah’s vision of God’s throne room (Isaiah 6:1-8), and Ezekiel’s encounter with the wheels within wheels (Ezekiel 1:1-28).
These divine encounters played an important role in the lives of the individuals who experienced them, and they continue to inspire and inform the faith of millions of people around the world.
