Title: The Sound of Hearing / Luke 16:28

‘Sound’ is a vibration of air that is transmitted to the human ear from the vibration of an object and causes hearing.
It means something to convey.
According to the Bible, the sounds that people hear are the sound of heaven, the sound of the earth, and the sound of Hades.
There are those who close their hearts and listen, those who easily forget what they hear and understand, those who get busy and miss important things, and those who lose their ears.
There are blessed listeners who listen, understand, and obey.

“It is hard for you to kick the thorns.” Words that are not in the text but are added after the text in Acts 26:14

It is a kind of instrument that is equipped so that the more you push back, the more severe the stabbing and the greater the pain.

Second: the sound of the earth
“I saw Paul in a vision at night, and a man from Macedonia stood up and begged him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.
(Acts 16:9)” A ‘vision’ is different from a dream.
Each, through perception, is to receive revelation. Those who can hear the voice of heaven are those who communicate with God,
