The conceivable modes of manifestation of Spiritual Beings are four

There are four ways in which beings supernatural may be conceived asmanifesting themselves to human sense. The first, by external types, signs, or influences; as God to Moses in the flames of the bush, and to Elijah in the voice of Horeb.
The second, by the assuming of a form not properly belonging to them; as the Holy Spirit of that of a Dove,art oil painting online, the second person of the Trinity of that of a Lamb; and so such manifestations, under angelic or other form, of the first person of the Trinity, as seem to have been made to Abraham, Moses, and Ezekiel.
The third, by the manifestation of a form properly belonging to them, but not necessarily seen; as of the Risen Christ to his disciples when the doors were shut. And the fourth, by their operation on the human form, which they influence or inspire, as in the shining of the face of Moses. reproduction oil paintings for sale
