  8. The Power of Prophecy I. WITNESS OF THE PROPHETS. AS EVIDENCE, WE WANT TO CONCENTRATE ON HISTORICAL PROPHETS.

  9. The Power of Prophecy II. FACTS ABOUT THE PROPHETS. A. WHAT IS A PROPHET? (Deuteronomy 18:15-21). 1. Jesus is God's prophet, God speaks through him (Hebrews 1:1-2). 2. Who will go and speak for us (Isaiah 6:5-9). MY WORD IN HIS MOUTH.

  10. The Power of Prophecy II. FACTS ABOUT THE PROPHETS. TEST OF THE PROPHETS(Deuteronomy 18:15-21).Does the prophecy come true?

  11. The Historical Prophets A. CONCERNING ISRAEL. 1. The land promise (Genesis 15:18;Joshua 23:12-16; 1 Kings 4:21). 2. Israel's downfall (Deuteronomy 28:1-6,15-19). a. A king (verse 36). b. Fierce captors speak a strange tongue (verses 49-51). c. Siege, cannibalism, death (verses 52-57).Literally fulfilled 3 times. d. Great suffering and captivity (verses 65-68).

  12. The Historical Prophets A. CONCERNING ISRAEL. 3. The restored remnant. a. Obedience would bring about a restoration (Deuteronomy 30:1-10). b. A remnant would be left (Isaiah 10:20-23; Jeremiah 23:1-4). c. Seventy years would be the limit of their captivity (Jeremiah 25:11-12).

  13. The Historical Prophets B. CONCERNING THE NATIONS. Although in a special way the Scriptures have to do with the history of the Jews, they by no means ignore the nations among whom Israel was cast. The fulfilled prophecies concerning Israel with the prophecies concerning the nations stand as testimony to the inspiration of the Scriptures and the proof that God is indeed the true and living God.

  14. The Historical Prophets B. CONCERNING THE NATIONS. 1. Babylon (Isaiah 13:1-14:27; Jeremiah 50-51). a. Entirely overthrown - as Sodom and Gomorrah (Isaiah 13:17-21). b. Never inhabited again (Isaiah 13:20). c. Isaiah 44:24-45:1-7.

  16. Typology A.TYPOLOGY DEMONSTRATES UNITY. 1. “Type." Greek: tupos, from tupto, to strike. a. A stroke, or a blow … (e.) In printing it means that which makes the impress or mark. (f.) In a theological sense it is simply a shadow of things to come and generally of good things to come (see Colossians 2:16-17; Hebrews 10:1; Hebrews 8:5). 2. Most of the religious rites of the OT were mere shadows relating to Christianity as their substance.

  17. Typology A.TYPOLOGY DEMONSTRATES UNITY. 3. The word "antitype" denotes the substance, or that which is prefigured by the type. e. g., The Passover lamb is the type of which Christ is the antitype.

  18. Typology A.TYPOLOGY DEMONSTRATES UNITY. 4. Some implications of these definitions: a. There is always some resemblance or analogy existing between type and antitype. b. The likeness is but partial - Adam was a type of Christ (seeHebrews 10:1). c. The points of resemblance were designed and preordained. d. Every type is a sort of prophecy - the sacrifices all pointed to Christ, but when Jesus was offered, they were abolished.

  19. Typology A.TYPOLOGY DEMONSTRATES UNITY. 5. From all this it is obvious that the design of types is two-fold: a. To give an outline representation of the Scheme of Redemption. b. The type serves as a proof and demonstration of the Divine origin of the antitype.
