It is very often that people have revelations which induce change in their lives. Revelation must influence someone or something for change to occur, for if it does not, why would there be any reason for change to occur in the first place. Ducks in this northern hemisphere would never go south during the winter if they were able to handle the colder temperatures farther north from the equator. They have a reason to migrate. Is it not hard to believe that these creatures at one time, did not know where to go when the cold season came? In some way, did they not have to realize that it is warmer year round traveling south? They must somehow have realized that it is warmer down south through some sort of revelation.
