　　2 Tim. 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

　　Eph. 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Him,

　　

　　second Timothy 3:16 says that all Scripture is God's breathing. God is breathing, exhaling. His spoken word was taken down to be the written word, which is the holy Scripture. God's word was not only spoken but also written. Thank God that for nearly twenty centuries this spoken and written word has also been interpreted, taught, to God's people.

　　Outside of the holy Scriptures, there is no further revelation of God. God's revelation, from the beginning to the ending, is contained in His word and conveyed to us through His word. If you are going to have God's revelation, you have to come to the Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation. Thus, the end of the book of Revelation warns us not to add anything or cut off anything from the word of God (22:18-19). This is blasphemy, a big sin. The holy Scripture has been completed. The Mormons' founder, Joseph Smith, claimed that he received some revelation in addition to the Bible. That is demonic. Anyone who claims to have a revelation other than the Bible's revelation is blasphemous to God.

　　The word of God becomes the revelation of God through His Spirit (Eph. 1:17). The Bible has been printed in many different languages. The content is the same to everyone. …. When we pray-read the word, the Spirit gives us the revelation (Eph. 1:17). Through our reading the word prayerfully, the Spirit makes the word a revelation.

　　God moves all the time in and according to His divine revelation. In the age of Noah, God told Noah to build an ark to save him and his family. Noah spent his days working on that ark. No doubt, at that time there were many mockers who mocked what Noah was doing (cf. 2 Pet. 3:3-6). Noah could have told them, “God told me that the whole earth will be flooded, so we need an ark to save us.” The people would not believe him. Eventually, only eight members of Noah's family entered into the ark. All others were destroyed by the flood. In Noah's age, the move of God was to make an ark according to God's revelation.

　　Then at Abraham's time God told him to come out of his father's land and immigrate to the good land. God's word was for Abraham to stay in the good land, which would be his inheritance. At Moses' time God revealed to him that he should bring the law of God to God's people and build up the tabernacle. These are examples in the Old Testament of the Triune God moving in and according to His divine revelation.

　　Now consider the New Testament. Peter was a fisherman whom the Lord called and attracted. Then the Lord gradually gave him revelation so that he came to know what the Lord would do in the New Testament age. It was the same with the apostle Paul. What the Lord wants to do in the New Testament age is to save many sinners who were chosen by God to be the members of Christ, to have the church built, and to have the Body of Christ produced from the building up of the churches. This Body of Christ will consummate in the New Jerusalem, and the New Jerusalem will be God's eternal enlargement, expansion, and expression forever. This is the revelation of the entire New Testament.

　　Today we are at the end of the New Testament age. We should do what God is doing according to His revelation. He is moving and working in His revelation. This is why we have to know the Bible. Millions of Christians read the Bible, but they do not have the revelation or the vision. They do not know what God is doing today, so they establish things which are not in and according to the revelation of God. Thus, what they are doing is not in the move of God. Today we thank the Lord that we have seen the vision of God's revelation, and we know how God is moving. We must be in His move. The Triune God's move is for the accomplishment of His eternal economy (1 Tim. 1:4; Eph. 1:10; 3:9). (The Triune God's Revelation and His Move)
