It seems to be suggesting that with God, God's speech exists in a form beyond human language, but when God reveals that word to a particular culture it comes out with particular sounds and letters in the form of the scriptures we are familiar with.
Which to me suggest that on some level the Torah is the Gospel is the Quran etc.
This is a concept that I heard discussed several years ago in a study of The Epistle to the Son of the Wolf. I tend to believe it. It's interesting that it has made the rounds.
