Synopsis
Excerpt from The Messianic Message of the Old Testament
The man who attempts to describe, or even to photograph, jewels, must confess that his best representations cannot convey their lustre and brilliance. It is a better service to exhibit the gems themselves, and with them to contribute a statement of their history and value. Even then many a casual observer will fail to understand their worth and to appreciate their beauty. The messages of the Hebrew prophets are more precious than jewels, and deserve a much more careful consideration. In the present work their utterances are quoted, translated and arranged in such a form as to bear as nearly as possible their original freshness and vigor; historical and literary settings, which are not less, but rather more, vital in prophecy than in other por tions of the Bible, are studiously set forth; and, with becoming reserve, and still with hearty, appreciative faith, the Messianic import is frankly estimated. The writer, however, dares not presume that all the divine excellence of each great prophecy is reflected in these pages; but he is content to hope that, on the one hand, the scholar may here find some acceptable sugges tions, and that, on the other hand, the common reader may have reason to rejoice in a clearer perception of that wonderful wis dom that spoke through the prophets of old.
