Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prophecy and the Prophets in Their Historical Relations The past few years have seen a revival of interest in the study of the Scriptures. The unique place occupied by the Bible as a means of grace throughout the entire history of the Christian Church has again come to be recognized, and great numbers of old and young have taken up its earnest, devout, and systematic study. This study is by no means confined to the New T esta ment, for Christians are learning more and more that, while they find their loftiest inspiration in the study of the life, the character, and the teaching of the Master and of his disciples, the Old Testament has not been displaced by the New. The early Christians were right in placing the Old Testament by the side of the New, because the former is of inestimable value, and the earnest student soon finds that every part of the book is full of teaching that is of practical value even in the twentieth century A.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prophecy and the Prophets IN Part I of this book the purpose of the author has been to present in a brief way the characteristic fea tures of Prophecy so that the ordinary reader may be helped to understand better this most important part of the Scriptures.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prophets and Prophecy: A Compilation From Notes of the Lectures Before the Senior Class What is meant by the term "prophet" in the O. T.? True definition: An authoritative and infallible expounder of the will of God. The books of the prophets form an important part of the O. T. writings. This importance is shown in four particulars: 1. In their authority. - They contain a divine revelation of God's will, and dealings with Israel through over four hundred years, which will is still binding, in its essence, on us to-day. 2. In their historical value. - They show to us the religion and theology of the theocracy in its doctrinal aspect, in its most advanced stages. 3. In their Messianic value. - They contain the fullest and clearest disclosures B. C. concerning the coming Redeemer, his work among men, and his ignominious death upon the cross. They give the criteria for his recognition, holding him up before the world as an object of faith and hope. 4. In their apologetic value. - They contain the most astonishing exhibitions of supernatural foresight in numerous predictions, and furnish us with a powerful argument for the truth and divinity of our religion. In these four points the prophecies are most important. For the study and appreciation of the character of the prophets, we must first see what is meant by the term prophet. 1. Deuteronomy 18: 18. 19. The true idea of an O. T. prophet may be learned first and most explicitly from the formal definition given in Deut. 18: 18, 19: "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him." This passage is applied by Peter in Acts 3: 22, 23, to Christ, and is supposed by some to refer to Christ alone.

I imagined to myself readers who did not favour the modern, organic view of prophecy, but who, at the same time were not disinclined to become acquainted with it and to weigh its claims. I have, therefore, throughout taken as my point of departure the traditional - which at the same time still continue to be the most widely diffused - ideas, subjected them to a severe objective criticism, and proceeded to build upon the results which were thus obtained. At the same time, I have endeavoured to proceed methodically, and to justify step by step the course of the investigation.

Download or read book The Historic Meaning of Prophecy Classic Reprint written by Mrs. Mary Abigail Taylor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historic Meaning of Prophecy The greater portion of the prophecies by far refer to the coming -day cycle, which is the era that contains the seven trumpets. John is the only prophet who men tions the seven seals and the seven trumpets; but the Old Testament prophets also wrote about those eras that John describes. The seven seals and the seven trumpets extend from the beginning of the Christian era to the beginning of the Millennial era. Prophecy is most profuse upon the sixth seal and sixth trumpet. Some prophets describe the progress of the Church, others describe the progress of Gentile dominion in the powers of the world, and others describe the progress of Antichrist, the minor prophets generally dwelling upon some particular eras. The major prophets describe the Church, the world powers, and the Antichrist by turns. The Bible method has been observed in this work by giving a description of the two spiritual powers in separate chapters. These are the best general suggestions that can be given, except the one most important of all, and that is the aid of the Holy Spirit. The person who reads prophecy as he reads history fails to apprehend it as a revelation from God. But it is even more than that: it is a revela tion of God; for that is the purpose of inspired revelation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prophets of Israel: From the Eighth to the Fifth Century; Their Faith and Their Message By the foregoing remarks I have indirectly indicatedmy position also to the view, advanced by a recent school of biblical scholars, that Jewish eschatology existed fully developed in ancient Israel long before the appearance of literary prophecy and that its roots are to be sought in old-babylonian eschatological notions. It may suffice here to point out that the claim of the existence of an old-babylonian eschato logical speculation rests on postulation rather than on established facts, and that - not to consider other objections - to argue the existence of an Israelitish eschatology from the preexilic prophetic writings is possible only by reading abstruse meanings and hidden references into descriptions which, in their essence, are purely imaginative and poetic. The fact is, as I hope to show in the second volume that whatever there is of positive proof points to the rise of Jewish eschatology in the Persian period. Sellin, in his recent book, Der alttestamentliche Prophetismus (leipzig, which has just come to my notice, differs in his view of the eschatology of Israel from the scholars just referred to in that he holds that eschatology was indigenous to Israel, his explanation being that the real root of it lies in the act of Revelation from Sinai (p. I may add that Sellin's view-point through out his treatise is in accord with this explanation. My treatment of the prophets, though it departs to a certain extent from the chronological order of presentation, is not in opposition to, but is in full harmony with the historico-critical method of modern research. This method means for that province of knowledge which deals with the politico-social and mental development of the human race, what the analytic-genetic method means for the province of science. Like the latter it insists that every fact orphenomenon under consideration be minutely ana lyzed, that is to say, that its relation to its environment be determined, and its development and growth and, if possible, also its genesis, be traced. For it, also, emphasizes, as the guiding principle of modern te search, that no real knowledge can be obtained from detached phenomena or isolated facts; in other words, that no fact can be accepted by itself, but must be recognized as a part of a great complex, the inter relations of the various parts of which must be closely studied before the significance of the special phenom enon can be ascertained.

Download or read book Fortress Introduction to the Prophets written by Rodney R. Hutton and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2004-07-29 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rodney Hutton begins this book by asking five basic questions about Israelite prophecy and the prophetic books. Do the prophetic books witness to a real phenomenon of "prophecy" in Israel? What is the relationship of the "classical" or "writing" prophets to the "pre-classical prophets"? Where do we look for the origins of Israelite prophecy? How do the prophets relate to their culture and society? How does the prophetic collection of writings relate to the legal and historical traditions of Israel? Through literary, social, and theological analysis, the author then introduces the most noted of the Hebrew prophets, including Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, and Micah, with special attention to Jeremiah. --From publisher's description.
