    THE PLACE OF PROPHETIC INTERCESSION IN OLD TESTAMENT RELIGION GORDON R. CONNING Submitted to the Faculty of Theology of the University of Edinburgh in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1934 ;0 PREFACE The Place of Prophetic Intercession in Old Testament Religion was a subject which from the first promised the pleasure of a chal­ lenging investigation, but has since far exceeded this promise; for it has led me by an exceedingly interesting study into a new appreci­ ation and, I venture to say, understanding of Old Testament prophecy* The method followed was to examine the cases of prophetic intercession themselves and, without preconceptions as far as possible, to base con­ clusions upon these* The thesis has grown gradually along the lines of this method of case investigation, and its present form was deter­ mined upon only after all the studies had been made* This form is, in brief, to present in an introductory chapter, on the one hand, a brief survey of extra-biblical intercession and, on the other, the Old Testa­ ment background of prophetic intercession; to follow this with an in­ vestigation of the teaching on this subject in Israel prior to the ad­ vent of literary prophecy in the eighth century; then to treat thorough­ ly in three chapters the three canonical prophets - Amos, Jeremiah and Ezekiel whose writings furnish the most important and stimulating materi­ al for this subject; to follow this again with a chapter on the remain­ ing material on prophetic intercession, and one on the

  • Empires of the Bible
    THE EMPIRES OF THE BIBLE FROM THE CONFUSION OF TONGUES TO THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY " To the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom amen." ALONZO TREVIER JONES REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSN. WASHINGTON, D. C. 1904 Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1897, by ALONZO TREVIER JONES, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. Also entered at Stationers' Hall, London. SHINAR CHALDEA ELAM KARRAK ACCAD BABEL ASSYRIA (Early) EGYPT ISRAEL ASSYRIA (Later) INTRODUCTION " THE God of nature has written His existence in all His works, and His law in the heart of man." Also He has written His char- acter in the Bible, and His providence among the nations. He " hath made of one blood all nation's of men for to dwell ou all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before ap- pointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us: for in Him we live and move and have our being." 1 " God hath spoken once ; twice have I heard this ; that power belongeth unto God." 2 " There is no power but of God : the powers that be are ordained of God." s" The Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever He will." 4 " He removeth kings, and setteth up kings ": " declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: calling from a far country the man that executeth my counsel." 6 " He is the Governor among the nations." ' " History, therefore, with its dusty and moldering pages, is to us as sacred a volume as the book of nature " ; because history prop- erly studied is truly the study of the grand purposes of God with men and nations.

  • Anzu and Ziz: Great Mythical Birds in Ancient Near Eastern, Biblical, and Rabbinic Traditions Nili Wazana Hebrew University of Jerusalem
    Anzu and Ziz: Great Mythical Birds in Ancient Near Eastern, Biblical, and Rabbinic Traditions Nili Wazana Hebrew University of Jerusalem Introduction Many ancient Near Eastern mythological motifs, particularly those relating to the Chaoskampf—the primordial battle against forces of chaos—found expression in the Hebrew Bible, and were further developed in post-biblical and rabbinic literature.1 H. Gunkel was the first to note traces of the Babylonian cosmogonic battle Enuma elis in biblical traditions and in the Apocrypha.2 The subsequent discovery of the Ugaritic divine conflict between Baal and “Prince Sea (zbl ym)-Judge River (tp† nhr)” reawakened scholarly interest in combat traditions preserved in the Bible and in later Jewish sources.3 Research focused mainly on the representation of insubordinate forces by elements of water. The turbulent, uncontrollable qualities of water perti- nently depict chaos, whether as a threatening natural element, or by means of mytho- poetic representation, such as the deified figure Sea/River and the monsters associated with it, such as “Leviathan” (ltn); “winding serpent” (btn br˙; btn ºqltn); “dragon” (tnn).4 1. I thank Dr. Kenneth Whitney whose comment led me to writing this article; Prof. Peter Machinist for his many insights on the myth of Anzu; Prof. Menahem Kister and Dr. Maren Niehoff for their helpful comments. I am particularly grateful to Prof. Simo Parpola who checked the existence of the variant Zû in the Neo-Assyrian corpus. This is an updated version of a Hebrew article that was published in Shnaton 14 (2004), 161–91. 2. H. Gunkel, Schöpfung und Chaos in Urzeit und Endzeit (Göttingen, 1895); English trans.: K.

  • The Mysteries of Behemoth and Leviathan 291
    THE MYSTERIES OF BEHEMOTH AND LEVIATHAN 291 “THE MYSTERIES OF BEHEMOTH AND LEVIATHAN” AND THE CELESTIAL BESTIARY OF 3 BARUCH* As is typical of many apocalypses, the Apocalypse of Baruch pre- served in Greek (hereafter – G) and Slavonic (S) and known also as 3 Baruch1 is rich with animalistic and botanic imagery: chimeric crea- tures of the lower heavens (chapters 2-3), gigantic celestial beasts (4-6), angelic horses, oxen, and lambs (6 and 9), celestial birds (10), trees (4) and flowers (12)2. The author of 3 Baruch was apparently “like the many, who impiously suppose that the celestial and divine intelligences are many-footed or many-faced beings, or formed with the brutishness of oxen, or the savageness of lions, or the curved beaks of eagles, or the feathers of birds…” (Ps.-Dionysius Areopagite, Cael. Hier. 2). After meeting zoomorphic creatures in the lower heaven(s), the protagonist proceeds to three Great Beasts, all found in the next firmament: (1) Serpent (4:3), called also “Dragon” (4:4; 5:2), drinking from the sea and feeding upon the bodies of the wicked (according to G)3. It is unclear whether this is identical to the Serpent that seduced the first humans (4:8S and 9:7). * The research was supported by the Israel Science Foundation (grant no. 450/07). 1 This pseudepigraphic text, dated at the latest to the 2nd cent. CE, describes how Baruch, accompanied by the angel, ascends through the five heavens, where he beholds several visions, most of them cosmological. Like most pseudepigrapha, 3 Baruch survives only in the Christian tradition, but it is deeply rooted in Jewish lore and cannot be under- stood apart from traditions preserved in early Jewish literature.

  • With David Platt
    with David Platt TM For many believers around the world, following Christ is not simply unpopular or discouraged. It’s dangerous. KNOW HIS WORD. KNOW HIS PERSECUTED. Each year’s Secret Church gathering consists of over four hours of intense Bible study, as well as a concentrated time of prayer for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. We hope you’ll not only believe these truths, but also share them with others. The goal of Secret Church is to serve the church in making disciples of all nations, all for the glory of God. secretchurch.org Copyright © 2019 by David Platt and Radical, Inc. All rights reserved. Printed in the United States of America. Published by Radical, Inc. Unless otherwise noted, all Scripture is from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version), copyright © 2001 by Crossway. Used by permission. All rights reserved. Why Is This Called Secret Church? Te idea behind Secret Church comes from time David Platt spent teaching and ministering among underground Asian house churches. Due to hostility from the government, from the surrounding community, and even from their own family, many of our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world are forced to gather in secret, sometimes at the risk of their lives. Te plight of our persecuted brothers and sisters also explains why prayer for the persecuted church is a major part of every Secret Church gathering. We remember those who cannot meet openly, asking God to sustain their faith, to change the hearts and the actions of their persecutors, and to use their witness for the spread of the gospel.

SIXTH EDITION. LONDON: PUBLISHED BY JOHN MASON, 14, CITY- ROAD ; BOLD AT 66, PATERNOSTER-ROW. 1855. • • ** * ADVERTISEMENT. The following work, comprising above three thou sand Proper Names, has been compiled from the most accurate and approved sources. The objects kept in view have been ; — to present the orthography, the pronunciation, and the signification of Scripture names ; to give a brief account of the principal persons, and a brief description of the principal places, mentioned in the Bible, with a reference to the particular book where they occur.

Care has been taken to ascertain the quantity of the vowels, and to fix, as accurately as possible, the accent. The subjoined observations should be read in consulting the work for the purpose of acquiring the pronunciation. 1. The stress of the voice must be laid on the accented syllable. a a 2 ADVERTISEMENT. 2.

    TM For many believers around the world, following Christ is not simply unpopular or discouraged. It’s dangerous. KNOW HIS WORD. KNOW HIS PERSECUTED. Each year’s Secret Church gathering consists of over four hours of intense Bible study, as well as a concentrated time of prayer for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. We hope you’ll not only believe these truths, but also share them with others. The goal of Secret Church is to serve the church in making disciples of all nations, all for the glory of God. secretchurch.org Copyright © 2019 by David Platt and Radical, Inc. All rights reserved.

Why Is This Called Secret Church? The idea behind Secret Church comes from time David Platt spent teaching and ministering among underground Asian house churches. Due to hostility from the government, from the surrounding community, and even from their own family, many of our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world are forced to gather in secret, sometimes at the risk of their lives. The plight of our persecuted brothers and sisters also explains why prayer for the persecuted church is a major part of every Secret Church gathering. We remember those who cannot meet openly, asking God to sustain their faith, to change the hearts and the actions of their persecutors, and to use their witness for the spread of the gospel.
