Hosea 12:10, "I have also spoken by the prophets, and have multiplied visions; I have given symbols through the witness of the prophets. symbols through the witness of the prophets".
Numbers 12:5–8 says, "Then the Then the LORD came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the
tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward. Then He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD,
make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream. Not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house. I speak to him face to face, My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house. I speak to him face to face,
even plainly, and not in dark sayings; and he sees the form of the , and not in dark sayings; and he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?” then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?” God uses different “modes of communication” to convey His thoughts to His prophets. Visions and symbols are some of the methods He uses. ‘Visions’ represents something that is ‘seen.’ This could be seeing into the spirit realm, seeing a picture that comes to the mind and so on. The picture could be presented to the physical eyes, or impressed on your imagination, or seen with the spiritual eyes. This could happen when awake, when in a trance, or when asleep through a dream. ‘Symbols’ represents parables,
similitudes, comparisons, riddles, or acts. “The dark sayings” in Numbers 12:8 corresponds to the “symbols” of Hosea 12:10. Moses, as a prophet walked with God in a realm where God spoke to him face to face, clearly and plainly. However, in general, not everyone called to the prophetic ministry walks in this realm. To most prophets, God spoke “in dreams, in visions and in dark sayings”, that is, through riddles, pictures and other forms of communication. The believer in the New Testament is blessed to have the inward witness of the Holy Spirit which Moses and Old Testament prophets didn't have. Regardless of how God speaks, if it is truly God speaking, then we
must pay attention to the prophetic word.
