 #155 Two Key Characteristics of Prophetic Books--essential to understand as you read them

Reading the prophets can be confusing and to help, and Bible805 did a preliminary lesson to help you understand them, CLICK HERE to go to it.

As I was preparing this section on the prophets, especially as you start to read Isaiah, I realized that an explanation of two more things are very important to keep in mind as we study the prophets as we go through the Bible. They are:

  1. The prophet’s expansive view of time
  2. The prophet’s expansive view of God’s sovereignty, His requirements, love, and plans permeating ALL of life

In this lesson, I’ll clarify these 2 characteristics in order to help your study of the individual books because they can be confusing and overwhelming if you don’t.

Of special importance is that you understand God’s view of time and a copy of the chart that helps explain it is in the notes, check them out here: https://wp.me/pazrJD-JD
