1 Samuel 3:21

The Lord continued to appear in Shiloh, because there He revealed Himself to Samuel by His word.

>

Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” So he built an altar there to the Lord who had appeared to him.

The boy Samuel served the Lord in Eli’s presence. In those days the word of the Lord was rare and prophetic visions were not widespread.

Then the Lord called Samuel, and he answered, “Here I am.”

After these events, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision:

Do not be afraid, Abram.
I am your shield;
your reward will be very great.

He said:

“Listen to what I say:
If there is a prophet among you from the Lord,
I make Myself known to him in a vision;
I speak with him in a dream.

The Lord came, stood there, and called as before, “Samuel, Samuel!”

Samuel responded, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.”

Indeed, the Lord God does nothing
without revealing His counsel
to His servants the prophets.

Long ago God spoke to the fathers by the prophets at different times and in different ways.
