In the Book of Exodus in the Bible, Moses’ first meeting with god is described. God tells Moses to call the Israelites together and to lead them out of Egypt. Moses answered:
“But,” objected Moses, “suppose they will not believe me, nor listen to my plea? For they may say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you.’ (Exodus 4:1)
In response, God gave Moses a sign that would convince the Israelites that Moses had truly seen God.
If someone told you that he or she had seen God, would you believe them? What kind of sign would convince you?
