Direct revelation is a term used by some Christian churches to express their belief in a communication from God to a person, by words, impression, visions, dreams or actual appearance. Direct revelation is believed to be an open communication between God and man, or the Holy Spirit and man, without any other exterior means. Direct revelation from evil spirits can also occur.
Examples of this is seen in God communicating the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai ; or the devil communicating knowledge to Jesus Christ during his temptation in the wilderness or the appearance of an angel to Manoah's wife telling her that she shall bear Samson. Direct revelation is classified as special revelation, but the word "direct" has come to make this type of revelation distinct.
