In the context of Revelation, what does General Revelation primarily refer to?

General Revelation primarily refers to God's communication through creation. It encompasses the idea that God's existence and attributes can be understood through the natural world around us. This includes the moral order, beauty, complexity, and order visible in the universe, which all reflect the character and nature of God.

In this context, General Revelation helps to establish a foundational understanding for individuals about God's power and divine nature, as articulated in passages like Romans 1:19-20, which express that what can be known about God is evident in creation and observable by all people. This is distinct from Special Revelation, which refers specifically to God's communication through Scripture, individual inspiration, and prophets, all of which provide more detailed insight into God’s specific will and character.
