The Seven Manifestations

Developed by Shawn McCraney, The Seven Manifestations describe key moments in the biblical story where God reveals Himself in increasingly personal and immaterial ways: Voice – God speaks directly (e.g., to Adam and Eve) Messenger – Angelic presence (e.g., Abraham, Moses) Pillar – Physical sign (e.g., cloud and fire in the wilderness) Tabernacle/Temple – God’s dwelling among a people Yeshua (Jesus) – The Word made flesh Written Word – Scripture as inspired record Spirit – God now dwelling in individuals Yeshuans teaches that these manifestations were progressive—not equal—and culminated in the Spirit, who now leads us inwardly. This teaching helps explain the shift from external, material religion to fulfilled, personal spirituality in the present age.
