“God came to him,” says Moses. What he means is that God came with terror and not as He is in the habit of doing when He takes on the usual appearance of a human being, a dove, or a lamb. But He does this in order to show that He is concerned about Abraham. About the three kinds of prophecy we have spoken above, namely, prophecy per se, visions, and dreams. So far as dreams are concerned, there is the well-known rule that such revelations must be scrutinized with respect to their relation to the Word and to faith. If they are not in harmony with the Word or destroy faith, they are of Satan."
