Interpreting Old Testament prophecy
Richard M. Davidson
; Adventist seminary Andrews University, USA
Abstract
This article focuses upon the interpretation of prophecy in the Old Testament, except for the apocalyptic prophecies of Daniel, which are discussed in one of the following articles. The messages of the Old Testament prophets included both "forth-telling," (non-predictive messages) as well as "fore-telling" (divine predictions). Here attention is directed toward the "foretelling," the numerous predictive prophecies estimated to comprise nearly thirty percent of the Old Testament. These are found not only in the books of the major and minor prophets but also in the Pentateuch, the historical books, and the hymnic/wisdom literature.
