  • 42. The Book of Zephaniah

    Introduction286

    The Book of Zephaniah is probably best known for being the least known book of the entire Bible. It is a small book, nestled in the midst of the Minor Prophets, toward the end of the Old Testament. Among the Minor Prophets, we are certainly much more familiar with Jonah and Hosea.

  • The Book of Nahum

    This study also includes a teaching outline at the end.

    Authorship

    The author of this remarkably literary book is probably Nahum. The text says in 1:1: “The book of the vision of Nahum.”1 The Hebrew name Nahum means “compassion,” or “comfort” and is interesting in light of God’s promises throughout the book of comfort and deliverance for his people.

  • 40. The Book of Obadiah

    Stoke Poges is a small village in England not too far from Windsor Castle.278 One of the most famous cemeteries of the world is located in this village, where the well-known poet Thomas Gray penned his famous Elegy written in a Country Churchyard. Those who have gone through the American school system have, I am sure, studied it, or, at least, read this poem at one time or the other during the course of their studies.

  • 39. The Book of Amos

    I. Introduction272

    When Jim Ellis taught us the overview of the Prophets, and explained the various literary forms the prophets used, he went to Amos for several of his examples. Amos contains all of the literary types he described: The Covenant Lawsuit, Woe Oracles, Laments, Promise Oracles, Visions, and parallelism. Although he may have been just a sheepherder from Tekoa, he was a well educated one and a skilled writer, and his book has quite an elaborate structure.

  • Conceptions of Davidic Hope in the Greek Psalter and Apocrypha

    This is now the seventh paper in this series regarding Davidic hope in the Old Testament and intertestamental literature. It is concerned with the Greek translation of Pss 2, 45, 72, 131, and Amos 9:11-12. We will also examine a few key texts from the Apocrypha. The point of this series is to set the background for a study of Davidic promise and its application in the New Testament. The other studies in the series can be found on this website and are entitled: (1) An Early Text for Later Messianic Conceptions: A Look at Genesis 49:8-12/Sept.

  • The Use of Psalm 16:8-11 in Acts 2:25-28

    Introduction

    The use of the Old Testament in the New is an intriguing area of study including detailed research on scores of explicit citations as well as allusions in an attempt to understand how the NT writers understood and used the Old Testament.

  • Revelation - Appendix 7: Glossary of Prophetical Terms

    Advent

      This term comes from a Latin word adventus and means “arrival, presence.” It corresponds to the Greek parousia (coming or presence), or epiphaneia (manifestation, appearance), or apokalupsis (revelation, unveiling). Advent has become a theological term used of Christ’s appearances on earth–His first and second coming. So we speak of Christ’s first and second advents. The first advent includes our Lord’s birth, life, death, resurrection and was culminated by His ascension.

  • Revelation - Appendix 6: The Book of Life

    Introduction

    A number of passages in the Bible refer to a book called “the book of life,” a figurative expression that originated from the ancient customs of (a) keeping various kinds of records like genealogical records (Neh. 7:5, 64; 12:22, 23) and of (b) registering citizens for numerous purposes (Jer. 22:30; Ezek. 13:9). Accordingly, God is represented as having records of men, of their works, and of God’s dealings with them.
