The Holy Spirit Leads Using Written Revelation Read And Understood In Literary Context, All Other Methods Are Not of God  
Progressive Revelation
A process of revelation arriving in a system of steps over a long period of time. This
consists of a review (If long elapsed time from previous writing), presentation of
additional truths, an updated application for the people of that day, and conclusions
provided to enable personal identification which incorporates all previous revelations.
This is very similar to most of our educational systems we graduated from and use to
process most information in our daily lives.

1. The first part of the information given is a base or basis: a context to place more       
     information, defined using steps of logical thought.

2. The second part is introduced as a step of the first part already given. This serves    
     to provide reasoning for the base and reasoning for information to follow in the next
     step.

3. The third part continues the process and pattern of the first and second parts, and   
     results in plainly establishing an ordered method to present the subject revealed. A
     sense of time is also established at this point in the process providing personal        
     freedom to comprehend.

4. The fourth part continues the third part's action while introducing the time-line as      
      the main focus of attention; providing a structure for anticipation and participation   
      as the  information is comprehended.

5. Reviewing the previous 5 parts as the need is presented by the one comprehending.

6. Conclusions automatically occur naturally from total comprehension and are              
     identified and set apart from what is not yet comprehended, which is moved to parts
     one through five.

7. Correction of all preceding repetitions of information worked through the process      
     twice or more as needed. Note: The possibility of information repeating 1-6 several  
      times is likely.

Now that I have defined the process of revealing information which your parents
used on you and their parents used on them, as well as your school systems method
of educating you, I will suggest to you that this same process of learning is also what
the Creator used when He started to cause human writers to record His revealed
information in writings.

The Creator in a sense, employed man's created work of conveying truths one
generation to another by developing a language spoken and written. The Creator did
not start this work until man had achieved a level of communication which would be
sufficient to serve in defining God in man's language and physical world as man
understood it. Note that God used the highest level of man's communication skills at
the time of causing each person to write. Man needed to be able to use his own
invention of communication to understand God's revelation.

A man who choses to not learn from his fellow man the language developed, would
miss out on being able to comprehend God's revelation as God provided it. God did
approach man using man's system of comprehension from man's state of existence
without God; unable to obtain a relationship with God on his own.

Man therefore knowing he could not achieve a relationship with his creator, was
required to learn his own language from his fellow man to have access to God's
revelation. In this sense God progressively reveals Himself to address man's needs
where man is at, in his state of existence; no matter his time of existence, whether
during the action of Progressive Revelation or after it has been completed God has
produced, preserved, and promoted one revelation for all.
Mankind's brain naturally
functions in this progressive system of
learning revelation, so it stands to
logical reasoning the Creator would use
the system man created to commune.

The Creator chooses a time in human
history to start the procedure of causing
man to write information He provided for
the people of the writer's day.

The Creator provided information for
created man, enabling them to have
access to a relationship with Him from
their state of existence,

So then, the Creator causes writer
number one to write His revelation for
them, addressing their needs
completely at that time. The people's
need was to overcome the inability to
live unto their Creator according to the
Creator's will. Since there was diversity
of opinions on how this was to occur,
mankind could only produce finite
philosophy and theology and without
proven direct written proofs to back
them. Not one of them was completely
right and therefore any honest person
knew they were ultimately without God's
information.

Jehovah addressed the human need
by speaking to the person who was
waiting on Him to speak. This person
honored Him by writing the account for
future generations, which then in turn
God preserved the written revelation
and honored faith which waited on Him.

The first man's name was Job, and God
appropriately started this process using
as a base, the meaning of his name,      
                                          
"To Turn From"

The created being turns to the Creator
and from himself and his fellow man and
waits for the Creator to provide the
ability to have a personal relationship: a
theology from God for mankind to learn
in order to form God's philosophy.

The fact is, God created an order by
which to communicate with mankind, in
essence designed "Hermeneutics"
enabling theology and philosophy to be
constrained by His revelation
