AFFIRMATION OF PROPHETHOOD
The Second basic tenet of religious belief is the
concept of prophethood. Throughout the ages, God
has conveyed His will to mankind through men of
superior virtue, whom He has singled out from
amongst all other human beings to be His prophets.
Since there is no visible link between God and His
messengers, claims of divine revelation are often
doubted. Their truth becomes apparent, though,
when we compare them with other events of this
nature which, have come to our knowledge.
Sounds are produced around us which are aurally
undetectable, either because their frequency is too
low or too high, or because they are too faint to
impinge on our ear drums. But we know that they
are a reality, because we now have such
supersensitive sound-detecting devices as can
record the movements of even a fly, moving miles
away, as accurately as if it were buzzing around our
ears. Even the collisions of cosmic rays can be
recorded. Such devices are widely available today,
yet such refinements of detection and registering of
sound might conceivably seem impossible to one
