His son Gideon was secretly threshing wheat in a wine press, so that the Midianites would not see him. Jehovah's angel appeared to him there and said: Jehovah is with you, mighty man of valor! Gideon said to him: May I ask, sir, why has all this happened to us if Jehovah is with us?

Jehovah answered him: Go in the strength you have and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you. Gideon replied: But Jehovah, how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the tribe of Manasseh. I am the least important member of my family. Jehovah answered: You can do it. I will help you. You will crush the Midianites as easily as if they were only one man. Gideon replied: If you are pleased with me, give me proof that you are really Jehovah. Please do not leave until I return and bring you an offering. Jehovah said: I will stay until you come back. So Gideon went into his house and cooked a young goat and used a bushel of flour to make bread without any yeast. He put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, brought them to Jehovah's angel under the oak tree, and gave them to him. The angel told him: Put the meat and the bread on this rock, and pour the broth over them. Gideon did so. Jehovah's angel reached out and touched the meat and the bread with the end of the stick he was holding. Fire came out of the rock and burned up the meat and the bread. Then the angel disappeared. With that Gideon realized that it was Jehovah's angel he saw. He said in terror: Sovereign Lord Jehovah! I have seen your angel face-to-face! Jehovah told him: Peace. Do not be afraid. You will not die. Gideon built an altar to Jehovah there and named it: Jehovah is Peace. (Jehovah-shalom) It is still standing at Ophrah and belongs to the clan of Abiezer.

He told me I would become pregnant and have a son. He told me: 'Do not drink any wine or beer, or eat any forbidden food. This is because the boy is to be dedicated to God as a Nazirite as long as he lives.' Then Manoah prayed to Jehovah: Please, Jehovah, let the man of God that you sent come back to teach us what we must do with the boy when he is born. God did what Manoah asked. His angel came back to the woman while she was in the field. Her husband Manoah was not with her, She ran to tell him, The man who came to me the other day appeared to me again. Manoah followed his wife to the man and asked, Are you the man who talked to my wife? Yes, he answered. Manoah said: When your words come true, what must the boy do? What kind of a life must he live? Jehovah's angel answered: Your wife must be sure to do everything I told her. She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine. She must not drink any wine or beer, or eat any forbidden food. She must do everything I told her to do. Not knowing that it was Jehovah's angel, Manoah said: Please do not go yet. Let us cook a young goat for you. The angel replied: If I stay I will not eat your food. But if you want to prepare it, burn it as an offering to Jehovah. Manoah replied: Tell us your name. We want to honor you when your words come true. The angel asked: Why do you want to know my name? It is 'Wonderful.' (Isaiah 9:6) So Manoah took a young goat and some grain, and offered them on the rock altar to Jehovah the God who works wonders. While the flames were going up from the altar, Manoah and his wife saw Jehovah's angel go up toward heaven in the flames. They did not see the angel again. Manoah knew then that the man was Jehovah's angel. He and his wife fell on their faces to the ground. Manoah told his wife: We will die, for we have seen God (a God-like being)!

I saw a storm coming from the north. There was an immense cloud with flashing lightning surrounded by a bright light. The center of the lightning looked like glowing metal. In the center of the cloud I saw what looked like four living creatures. They were shaped like humans. Each of them had four faces and four wings. Their legs were straight. Their feet were like those of calves and they glittered like polished copper. They had human hands under their wings on each of their four sides. All four of them had faces and wings. Their wings touched each other. The creatures went straight ahead and they did not turn as they moved. Their faces looked like this: From the front, each creature had the face of a human. From the right side, each one had the face of a lion. From the left, each one had the face of a bull. And from the back, each one had the face of an eagle. That is what their faces looked like. Their wings were spread out and pointed upward. Each creature had two wings with which they touched each other. The other two wings covered their bodies. Each of the creatures went straight ahead. They went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn as they moved. The living creatures looked like burning coals and torches. Fire moved back and forth between the living creatures. The fire was bright and lightning came out of the fire. The living creatures ran back and forth like lightning. As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each of them, with its four faces. This is how the wheels looked and how they were made: They looked like beryl (chrysolite) (precious stones). All four wheels looked the same. They looked like a wheel within a wheel. When they moved, they moved in any of the four directions without turning as they moved. The rims of the wheels were large and frightening. They were covered with eyes. When the living creatures moved the wheels moved with them. When the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels also rose. Wherever the spirit wanted to go the creatures went. The wheels rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. When the creatures moved, the wheels moved. When the creatures stood still, the wheels stood still. And when the creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose with them. This is because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. Something like a dome was spread over the heads of the living creatures. It looked like dazzling crystal. Under the dome, each creature had two wings that were stretched out straight, touching one another. Each creature had two wings that covered its body. When the creatures moved I heard the sound of their wings. The sound was like the noise of rushing water. It was like the thunder (voice) of the Almighty. It was like the commotion in an army camp. When the creatures stood still, they lowered their wings. A voice came from above the dome over their heads as they stood still with their wings lowered. Above the dome over their heads was something that looked like a throne made of sapphire. On the throne was a figure that looked like a human. Then I saw what he looked like from the waist up. He looked like glowing copper with fire all around it. From the waist down he looked like fire. A bright light surrounded him. The brightness all around him looked like a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day. It was the likeness of Jehovah's glory. When I saw it I immediately fell down with my face to the ground. I heard someone speaking.

He lived and his life gives light to all people. His light shines through darkness and it cannot be extinguished. God sent a man named John. (Malachi 3:1) He came to tell (witness) (testify) about the light and help people have faith. Not being the light he came to give a witness of it. The true light, which gives light to every man, came into the world. (Isaiah 49:6) The world was made through him. He was in the world and the world did not recognize him. He came to his own. They did not receive him! He gave the right to become children of God to all who received him. Even to those who believe in his name. They were born from God. It was not from blood, or the will of the flesh, or the will of man. The Word [Jesus] became flesh (a human being) and lived with us. We saw the glory of the only begotten son from the Father. He was full of loving-kindness and truth. John spoke about him and declared: He is the one I said would come after me. He is greater than I am because he lived before me. Out of the fullness of his undeserved kindness he gives us one blessing after another. The law came through Moses. Loving-kindness and truth came through Jesus Christ. No man has ever seen God. The only begotten God-like one who is closest to the Father (in the bosom of the Father) tells us about him. (Psalm 8:5)

We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding. We know him that is true for we are in him who is true, [and] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and everlasting life.
