Special (or direct) revelation

This is called ‘direct’ because it is revelation directly to an individual or group. It is often used to describe the way God is revealed through:

a dream

a vision

a miracle (something that breaks the laws of science and which Christians assume to be caused by God)

experience

prophecy (a prediction of what will happen in the future)

The scriptures of some religions are regarded as the result of special revelation.
