s In The Old Testament - Part 2 The writer of the Hebrews informs us that God spoke in many ways and different means through the prophets but that was not the only way God spoke in ancient times. He also used His power to perform miracles which at times were to make people aware of Him (Gen. 20:7-17); to judge (Ex. 14:21-31); to sustain (Ex. 16:14-35); and to comfort (Gen. 9:13). In listing these miracles there is no claim that this is all the miracles of the Old Testament but only those I am aware of.
