divine word
God's spoken truth
Divine word refers to communication believed to originate from God or a deity—scripture, prophecy, or revelation.
In Christian theology, the Divine Word (or Word of God) specifically means Christ as the incarnation of God's self-expression, from the opening of John's Gospel: In the beginning was the Word.
More loosely, any utterance treated as sacred or authoritative: The guru's teachings were taken as divine word.
