Evening Prayer

For Psalm 18, Prof. Calvin again comments that God’s providences in history with David foreshadowed and adumbrated the David Kingdom of the Danielic Son of Man.

ISBE on Exodus: Prof. R. K. Harrison talks about a possible gloss or two in Exodus by scribes for a brief moment, a few verses, that does not affect or impact the literary fixity of the extant book.

For Genesis 2.4ff.: Prof. Keil spends time talking about God breathing into man the breath of life. Varied Hebrew words for breath are discussed.

For Joshua 24, Joshua gives a review of patriarchal and Mosaic history, assuming and knowing that the Israelites knew this history. But oh no! Nothing was written down at this time the Graf-Wellie blowhards tell us! Oh no! Joshua was an illiterate too!

For Isaiah 6.9-13, Prof. Henry bangs home the consequences of being theologically brain-dead, iron-hearted and soporific. There will be temporal consequences following the spiritual issues.

ISBE on Mark: Dr. R. P. Martin expands on Eusebius’s list of patristic citations that Mark was Peter’s secretary, assistant and editor.

For Mathew 5.13-16, Prof. Jamiesson simply read the glorious verses about salt and light. Exquisite verses.

For Romans 3, Prof. Hodge still is answering objections raised by Jews as to his charge that they too are under and exposed to divine condemnation apart from the Gospel of God’s justice in Christ.

For Revelation 15.5-8, Prof. Henry comments on the seven vials of divine anger to befall the earth. This is cataclysmic stuff that the sleepy will snore through (in our time), eating, drinking, snoozing and breaking wind.
