Hebrews 1:1-2 does not prohibit God from speaking to individuals today
Question about whether God still speaks through a still small voice today, referencing Hebrews 1:2.
Mike reads Hebrews 1:1-2 and argues it describes God's corporate/prophetic communication pattern with Israel through the prophets, now fulfilled in the Son — not a prohibition on individual divine speech. It was not even addressing times God spoke to Hagar or Abraham directly. He distinguishes special revelation (Scripture, written for the whole church) from individual impressions. Paul's instruction to Timothy about prophecies made over him (1 Tim 1:18) is cited as evidence of individual communication post-Pentecost. God spoke to John on Patmos after Hebrews was written, so divine speech did not cease. He warns that individual impressions lack Scripture's reliability and that the charismatic world has become dangerously casual about verifying claimed prophetic words.
