Not illustrated. 1879 edition. Excerpt: ... THE REGENERATION. BY REV. CHAS. K. IMBRIE, D.D., OF JERSEY CITY. I Am to speak of "The Regeneration " or The Restitution of all things" foretold in the Scripture. It is a great subject; weighty and most interesting. It comprehends the grand result to which all else is but preliminary, the outcome of the promise made in Eden, that the ruin caused by Satan and sin should be fully repaired. It is also a very difficult subject. To prove clearly from God's word a single step in the process toward its accomplishment, may be done with comparative ease. To show conclusively from the Scripture that the personal and visible coming of the Lord is plainly to precede and introduce the Millennial reign and "the Regeneration " of all things, is a most important step and opens indeed the door. But behind that door there yet remains the glory beyond--the finished purpose of God in redemption, so far as it is portrayed in the Scripture. And to exhibit this finished redemption, as it shines in the bright lustre of "the world to come whereof we are to speak," and when all is, at last, made new, needs painstaking indeed. One must speak with carefulness and modesty. Above all does it need this care, where long cherished prejudgments are to be met and overcome, and men are, if possible, to be brought back from an interpretation which is supposed to exalt this glory by substituting a dim, undefined, though professedly spiritual, meaning for the Scripture portrait of this scene, to the acceptance of the plain and natural sense of God's own words. The anticipation of some sort of blissful change to come upon this sad and sinful earth after its long continued storms and sorrows is, in one form or another, very general. Even those who despise God's word and rely on...

Book Description
The present volume consists of twenty essays on the Prophetic Books, with a major focus on Isaiah as well as the Minor Prophets and Jeremiah. They span a period of roughly thirty-five years and trace a methodological shift away from the excavation of the individual prophet and setting toward an appreciation of a book or a collection in its final form, as an intentionally shaped accomplishment. An introductory chapter places the individual contributions in their original settings-in-composition and in relationship to one another. A description in this chapter of the period in which the author was trained in Germany and at Yale University enables the reader to comprehend the "rise of a new model of interpretation," now referred to as canonical reading or canonical interpretation. The essays come alongside published commentary treatments of Isaiah and Joel, as well as public lectures delivered in the 1980s through the present decade.

Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... VII THE CONVERSION AND RESTORATION OF ISRAEL We begin now to look at the blessed things which are connected with the manifestation of Jehovah, our Lord Jesus Christ. From the preceding chapters we have learned that His appearing will be in the day, which is called " the day of the Lord," that this day will come at the end of the great tribulation, during which the nations form ungodly alliances to oppose God and His Anointed, and that Jehovah's manifestation will bring their judgment. But while that day is a day of wrath, it is also a day in which Jehovah will show mercy and fulfil all that which He spoke through the mouth of His holy prophets. A new age will begin, the age long foretold, when righteousness and peace kiss each other, when the nations learn war no more, and the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the deep. We shall look first of all to the Harmony of all Prophecy in predicting the conversion and restoration of Israel. This topic is one of the most prominent in the prophetic Word. We find it quite a task in the limited space we have to condense all in such a way that the reader will get the correct, scriptural view of it, and to show at the same time how the Spirit of God bears witness to this great future of Israel. It may not be altogether out of place to say whom we mean by Israel. There is so much wrong teaching about, that one is forced to refer almost constantly to the most simple foundation truths. The fact is that the most popular interpretation of the Bible makes Israel mean the church. Thus it has come to pass that all these wonderful prophecies which speak of a restoration of Israel and the blessings in store for them have been claimed to mean the "spiritual Israel," the...
