Jason Parham, Why does god reveal himself in the wilderness?
Most religious prophets received the word of god in the wilderness, from Moses to Buddha, to Jesus and Muhammad they were all in the wild when they spoke to god or were revealed ultimate understanding. Is it because you need to be humbled away from society to receive this gift, or is it you need to be separated. Why doesn’t god ever talk at the city assemble? I don’t know. Does god not feel at home amongst things that humans take responsibility for, such as cities and roads? I wonder if the next prophet could receive the word of god at the McDonalds drive through. Maybe he could talk to them out of the com link in Ronald McDonald’s plastic head. I guess it just doesn’t work like that, you need to be in nature in the natural, where god lives. Maybe God is saying “I would talk to you in the city if I thought that’s where you should be, so get your but to the wilderness into nature so we can talk.”
