Produktbeschreibung
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.
