The Visual Appearance of the Word of the Lord

The podcast discusses the concept of the 'word of the Lord' and argues that it often involves a visual appearance rather than just an auditory voice. The speaker suggests that the word of the Lord can manifest as a vision or even a tactile experience, citing examples from passages like 1 Samuel 3 and Jeremiah 1. This understanding of the word of the Lord helps shed light on the significance of Jesus as the word made flesh in the New Testament.
