In this episode, Jake and David discuss the book 'How to Read the Biblical Prophets' by Peter Gentry. They explore the unique writing style of the Hebrew prophets, which often uses repetition and recursive writing to convey their messages. The prophets' predictions are based on the judgments outlined in the Torah, and they often use types and typology to connect past events with future ones. The use of apocalyptic language is another tool the prophets employ to describe the future. Overall, the book provides valuable insights into understanding and interpreting the biblical prophets. In this conversation, Jake and David discuss the use of vague language in prophecy and how it relates to the context and audience. They explore the idea that prophets used what they had at hand to describe events, even if it meant being vague. They also examine the progression of language in prophecy, where the titles and descriptions become more poetic and apocalyptic as they reveal secrets about the future. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of understanding the context and purpose of prophecy in order to interpret it correctly.
