God Alone Can Reveal a God
J. B. Heard, M. A. Psalm 36:9 For with you is the fountain of life: in your light shall we see light. Light has this property, that it is at once the vehicle and that which is borne by the vehicle: it is the revelation and its channel, and this twofold property of light remains the same whether we regard it as an actual emanation of particles, or only an undulation or vibration of some invisible ether itself at rest. And so with the revelation of God. No doubt He has revealed Himself by means of prophets, etc. (Hebrews 1.). But all such revelation was partial and incomplete; what the prophet saw or heard was only a glimpse of the real truth. Hence Christ was needed as the Revealer of God. And in like manner the Holy Spirit is the Revealer of Christ. (J. B. Heard, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. WEB: For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.
