Excerpt from The Fall of Babylon: Its Prediction Not Anonymous
At Belshazzar's feast, while the revelry is resounding through the palace, the enemy is already stealing into the city by the bed of the river; but even in that last night of the Chaldean kingdom, it is at the king's command, and not from his own impulse, that Daniel interprets the mysterious handwriting on the wall. He boldly reproves the king for the sins that had provoked the Most High to stretch out-the hand that wrote his doom over against the candlestick that lighted the banquet hall; but he neither invokes the Divine vengeance on Babylon, nor afterwards refuses the high honours with which the king proceeds to invest him.
In the sequel, when the Chaldean dominion has been quite over thrown, and when he understands, by the Sacred Books, that the time has come for the restoration of Zion, he obeys the Lord's command by Jeremiah Then Shall ye go and pray unto me, and I'will hearken unto you, and I will turn away your captivity; and he sets himself to seek God by prayer and supplication for the desired deliverance. But he uses no other means except prayer when God's full time had come; and during the whole Chaldean dominion he never denounces the government under which he lived, and which he served for seventy years.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book challenges a prevailing scholarly view concerning the authorship of well-known prophecies in the Hebrew Bible. The author carefully analyzes the arguments of modern critics who propose that these prophecies were written anonymously during the Babylonian exile and not by the established prophets of old, such as Isaiah and Jeremiah. The book presents a thorough examination of the historical, contextual, and theological implications of this theory. It underscores the profound significance of prophecy in ancient Israel and questions the rationale behind assigning such critical predictions to unknown individuals. The author argues that the proposed late dating and anonymous authorship contradict the Scriptures, historical evidence, and the character of the known prophets in exile, who demonstrated unwavering loyalty to the Chaldean rulers. The book's insights highlight the importance of understanding the prophecies within their original context, emphasizing their relevance to Israel's relationship with God and their role in shaping the nation's spiritual and political destiny. The book serves as a valuable resource for scholars and lay readers alike, prompting a deeper examination of the authorship and significance of these pivotal biblical texts.
