But the variety of the testimony can be lost by limiting one's interpretations or application of the prophetic word. Interpreting the Prophetic Word helps readers understand the harmony of the voices that reveal God's purposes in redemptive history. Dr. Willem VanGemeren explains clearly and fully the background of the prophetic tradition. He then interprets the message of the major and minor prophets, using historical context and literary form and structure as tools in his analysis. He concludes with an explanation of the relevance of the prophetic word today. Dr. VanGemeren's extensive research and scholarship is presented in a readable way to unlock the door of prophecy for readers. He helps them to interpret prophecy and invites them to listen to the prophets and to lives the prophetic word.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →McKenzie argues that to comprehend the Bible we must grasp the intentions of the biblical authors themselves--what sort of texts they thought they were writing and how they would have been understood by their intended audience. In short, we must recognize the genres to which these texts belong. McKenzie examines several genres that are typically misunderstood, offering careful readings of specific texts to show how the confusion arises, and how knowing the genre produces a correct reading. The book of Jonah, for example, offers many clues that it is meant as a humorous satire, not a straight-faced historical account of a man who was swallowed by a fish. Likewise, McKenzie explains that the very names "Adam" and "Eve" tell us that these are not historical characters, but figures who symbolize human origins ("Adam" means man , "Eve" is related to the word for life ). Similarly, the authors of apocalyptic texts--including the Book of Revelation--were writing allegories of events that were happening in their own time. Not for a moment could they imagine that centuries afterwards, readers would be poring over their works for clues to the date of the Second Coming of Christ, or when and how the world would end. For anyone who takes reading the Bible seriously and who wants to get it right, this book will be both heartening and enlightening.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A compelling outline of irrefutable examples, taken from the Holy Bible furnishing proof of a super-natural numbering system, which confirms God as the sole author. Miracles can come in many ways. “The Eleventh Hour” is one such example. God turned a personnel tragedy into the impetus to discover a modern day unfolding of an unknown numbering system in the Holy Scriptures, seemingly unnoticed for centuries. Within these pages you will find absolute proof that will end all debates concerning the authenticity of the Bible. Clear evidence will be presented that will support these claims. If you carefully follow these numbers and the truths they represent, they will solidify the message. After embarking on this fascinating path, the historical and prophetic implications of these numerals and their locations should challenge all to come to a realization and some genuine soul searching. Some of the topics discussed, having great significance are; The harmony of the individual writers of each book. Proof of the Bibles infallibility. Israel’s place in history past present and future. Jesus Christ’s Messianic fulfillment through the linage of King David. God’s Sovereign hand over His creation throughout history. Prophetic witness as it relates to current world events. Everyone should be able to determine conclusively that these writings are not some cleverly devised fairy tale or folklore from the Middle Ages, as some insinuate. It is the unadulterated word of Almighty God.
