How Ancient Hebrew Structures Thought for Revelation

In general 'my' story as I will tell it is going to be that in ancient Hebrew culture and language people had more ability for direct revelation because the symbols that they used to communicate with had been either ordained by God or had been inspired in some way by God and had been more transcendental in nature as the communication between Adam and God would have survived more fully in Hebrew than in more categorically driven and 'epistemologically fragmented' languages that latter developed with encoded categories that had been wrong to begin with (the teacher model of learning in developing minds has caused this type of divide). The influence of other languages and basic ways of thinking about things that other cultures had caused a powerful influence on the Hebrew world as the languages and epistemological methods of other people had been based in the acknowledgement and worship of other gods (this meant that the languages had been fallen so to speak), and some of the influence of ancient Greek philosophy may have increased this decay.

The Medieval thinkers had a way of developing from the ancient Greek perspective on the world and increasing and developing the epistemological methods of the ancient Greeks, and this came to a head with Modernism as people started over a fresh with epistemological methods that had been based entirely in a person's own ability to perceive truth for themselves. Within Modernism grew several types of perceptions of reality such as Empiricism (the foundation for modern science), Transcendentalism (the foundation for people like Kant), and Existentialism (this is hard to define because it has so many different groups). What Post Modern thought does is that it centers around not understanding our reality, but instead understanding ourselves. The claim that Post Modern thinkers are going to have is that if we cannot even understand ourselves, then how can we understand anything about the surrounding reality that we live in. Overall, the subject of metaphysics as a serious academic discipline for example is now almost completely removed from large universities and is replaced with ontology.

My most basic understanding is that if we can carefully study how the ancient Hebrew people thought in their methods and basic perception of the world as found in Genesis, then we can recapture revelation through language. For example a person could decompose the Hebrew words into roots (these are the most basic tangible representations of ideas) and then find their characteristics in how the words develop and are interacted with other words in order to find patterns. The patterns can give something like a window into how the Hebrew people thought, and through that window a person can dimly see the Hebrew God when reinforced with the message of the scripture in context.

Today for example if you ask the general public what love is, then they will have no idea at all. If you read the story of Abraham almost sacrificing Isaac, Isaac receiving his wife Rebecca after the death of Sarah, Jacob fleeing to a somewhat unknown land and then making a special point at the risk of everything that he had to ask for forgiveness of his brother toward the end of his life, and Joseph being thrown into the well, being sold as a slave, and then giving his brothers life and forgiveness, then you can have all the context necessary for reading the Hebrew words and seeing the scripture the same way that the Old Testament prophets did. Overall, the scripture is very self defining, with the proper methods, for teaching a general perception of reality, but often theology can rob in many ways unintended by acting as a substitute for what can only be truly taught by God through the anointing of the Holy Ghost.
