An Introduction to the Old Testament Prophetic Books by C. Hassell Bullock Pdf
The Old Testament prophets spoke to Israel in times of historical and moral crisis. They saw themselves as being a part of a story that God was weaving throughout history--a story of repentance, encouragement, and a coming Messiah. In this updated introductory book, each major and minor prophet and his writing are clustered with the major historical events of their time. Our generational distance from the age of the prophets might seem to be a measureless chasm. Yet we dare not make the mistake of assuming that passing years have rendered irrelevant not only the Old Testament prophets, but also the God who comprehends, spans, and transcends all time. In these pages, C. Hassell Bullock presents a clear picture of some of history's most profound spokesmen--the Old Testament prophets--and the God who shaped them.
Themes and Transformations in Old Testament Prophecy by Samuel A. Meier Pdf
We meet the prophets of Israel in our own time and in one place--Scripture. So it might seem odd to consider that they are not all the same, these voices from "back then." In fact, the prophets inhabited a time span of hundreds of years and faced events that on their own terms were more convulsive than our 9/11. They were not uniform in their language, their concerns, their personalities, their remedies or their visions of the future. In this book, Sam Meier explores some recurring themes and features--such as angels, writing, miracles, the future and kingmaking--all with an eye on their transformation over time. And the defining event in this transformation turns out to be the great convulsive event of the story of Israel, the defeat and exile of the kingdom of Judah. Themes and Transformations in Old Testament Prophecy is a book that goes beyond the standard introductions to the prophets. Yet it does so in a way that will inform and intrigue beginning students and anyone curious about the prophets of Israel.
The theology of the New Testament is indebted to, and is a reflection of, major Old Testament themes, images, and language, because the New Testament authors wrote in the context of the Old Testament and the rich Jewish tradition of the study and interpretation of Scripture. A group of ancient Jewish writers provided the Christian church with its Old Testament Greek text (the Septuagint) and provided Aramaic translations (the Targums) for some of the writers of the New Testament. This group also produced many works that,whether intentionally or not, offered interpretations, expansions, and explanations of difficult or obscure Old Testament passages that influenced the New Testament authors. From Prophecy to Testament opens with a basic overview of past work on the development of New Testament theology, and then offers a superb collection of essays exploring the numerous ways in which New Testament writers were formed and informed by the biblical and extrabiblical literature of the Israelite people of the Second-Temple period.
A startling exploration of the history of the most controversial book of the Bible, by the bestselling author of Beyond Belief. Through the bestselling books of Elaine Pagels, thousands of readers have come to know and treasure the suppressed biblical texts known as the Gnostic Gospels. As one of the world's foremost religion scholars, she has been a pioneer in interpreting these books and illuminating their place in the early history of Christianity. Her new book, however, tackles a text that is firmly, dramatically within the New Testament canon: The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world . . . or is it? In this startling and timely book, Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds-Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies. In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed. It is sure to appeal to Pagels's committed readers and bring her a whole new audience who want to understand the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions, and to appreciate the lasting appeal of this extraordinary text.
The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.

The Prophecy and Testament by Robert L. Vincent,Consuelo M. Vincent Pdf
Calling to YOU the Brethren! "That these Words thereof are from He who sent me; and all willingness be of thine My Most Holy". That day of December 25, 1983 forever changed our lives. Connie had received many visions of Christ as a young girl, but now as an adult something changed. A new Visitation unlike any of the previous encounters with God. The Vision was in the form of a Golden Book located in Heaven with small and minute in script and in delved upon Gold of the purest form. The writing was on Pearl of white paper. As I inquired to the Lord about the nature of the Book God revealed to us "Therefore this thy Book of True Revealing be restored yet unto Her which is to say "My Jerusalem". And also adhering to Gods command. "Neglect not the Work of Mine Hand that is upon ye; For that which I have spoken shall come to pass and at "this place that ye harbor" shall I release The Prophecy of Written Word....as that which was spoken of in Scripture as a "Overture" to come. And so now you have it to read, and Overture comes. It is written in Revelation 11.3: "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and three score days... These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of the prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them into blood, and smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will". These Testaments reveal great earthquakes, Wars, and The Plague of Ephods that threatens 25% of mankind with extinction! The Earth toppling on its axis, as a final judgment! We have no weapons, no guns, no poisons, no armies, to fight with to arrest those committing high crimes and treason against humanity. As moses was at the back of the mountain tending his ship and was summoned to Gods Holy Mountain and there was told he must go and free God's people from bondage with only a staff so we have found ourselves in similar circumstances... We have the Spirit of Prophecy, Gods secret weapons to set against those wishing to oppress Israel and God's people. The earth is deserving.

Christ in the Old Testament by Charles Haddon Spurgeon Pdf
Excerpt from Christ in the Old Testament: Sermons on the Foreshadowings of Our Lord in Old Testament History, Ceremony and Prophecy To the two disciples on the moonlit road, the Master, beginning at Moses and all the prophets, expounded the things concerning Himself. He is everywhere in Scripture patriarchs and kings are types of Him who is the Ancient of Days and the Prince of Peace: the law was but a shadow of good things to come, and the. Testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. The Old Testament was Christ's Bible, and it is a Bible full of Christ. He is as surely in it as in the New Testament, albeit the revelation is not as vivid nor as full. Of course, when Spurgeon preached, he poured the content of the New Testament revelation into the mould of the Old Testament type and prophecy; expounding, in the blaze of gospel light, that which was hidden from the prophets when they enquired and searched diligently what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified before hand of the sufferings of Christ and of the glory that should follow interpreting, perhaps, more than the prophet or lawgiver understood, but not more than the Spirit intended and revealed. There are sixty discourses within these covers. They fall naturally into three groups-historical, Ceremonial and Prophetical - each merg ing into the other. Twenty sermons are given under each heading this number might have been easily doubled on many of the subjects Mr. Spurgeon has preached several times, and sermons on other topics were available; but enough has been chosen to set forth the fair and glorious image of Him who is fairer than the children of men, who fulfils all the law and the prophets, who is the theme of Scripture as He is the joy of heaven.
