For
Psalm 19, Prof. Calvin waxes eloquent on the sweetness and beauty of God’s Word,
sweeter than honey. Get this, Calvin notes, and you’ll avoid common covetousness.
We’d add that the Pope observed that Calvin could not be bribed.
ISBE
on the dating of Exodus: Prof. R. K. Harrison comments are about Tanis,
monuments from the Hyksos period, Rameses 2, Avaris, and excavations variously.
This in connection with a 13th century provenance for the exodus.
For
Genesis 3.9-15: Prof. Keil comments on the heel of Eve’s seed being bitten by
the snake and Eve’s seed, Christ, crushing the snake’s head.
For Judges
1.1-7, Prof. Keil comments on Judah and Simeon taking the lead in the first
battles against Adoni-Bezek.
For
Isaiah 7.17-25, Prof. Henry shows Isaiah getting ready to tell Ahaz that the
David covenant will be maintained, but God’s gonna punish you for your
idolatries. Buckle up, Ahaz.
ISBE
on Mark: Dr. R. P. Martin closes the discussion on the short-long ending
without stating his own position.
For
Mathew 5.29ff., Prof. Jamieson comments on Jesus’ view of divorce and adultery,
a natural segue from the discussion on the 7th commandment. Shammai
tight view is contrast with Hillel’s libertine view.
For
Romans 3.21-31, Prof. Hodge enlarges on hilasterion or propitiation by Jesus’s
vicarious, blood atoning work.
For
Revelation 17.14-18, Prof. Henry show John getting instructed on the meaning of
the Fall of Babylon.
EDT
on the theological liberalism: a second feature of the dogmatic dictators: rejection
of Biblical authority, no miracles, and reason rules. There is no infallible
record.
