Prophecy
Question
What, in your view, was the form of communication of the prophets from Adam through the last of the prophets, and what is unique about Moses’ prophecy? There are many theories in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) about the form it took—voice, vision, consciousness, and so on—but it is not entirely clear.
Answer
It is likely not an actual visual appearance but imagination—probably visual imagination. But no one really understands this, and I do not see much value in dealing with it.
