“The Fundamentals—A Testimony to the Truth, Vol. 1:” in “History of Higher Criticism,” Dean Dyson Hague traces several negativities that the Biblical Vandals themselves affirm. Halley’s “Bible Handbook:” gives the structure of the Bible: OT and NT. For Psalm 27, Prof. Calvin comments on the protective “shield” of God to and for his people. Zondervan Pictorial Bible: “Isaac:” the story is brought forward to Mt. Moriah and the sacrifice. ISBE on “Leviticus:” the theology of Leviticus: Sinatic covenant, sacrifice, God’s presence, and God’s holiness. For Genesis 20: Prof. Keil comments on Abraham’s second gig trying to palm off Sarah as his sister to Abimelecch. God intervenes, protects Abimelech, and rebukes the sinning Abraham. For Judges 12, Prof. Keil comments on Jepthah’s vow to God. For Isaiah 12.1-2, Prof. Henry comments on God’s praises by God’s people. Westminster Confession of Faith 12.1: CHAPTER 12 Of Adoption 1. All those that are justified, God vouchsafeth, in and for his only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption, by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the children of God, have his name put upon them, receive the Spirit of adoption, have access to the throne of grace with boldness, are enabled to cry, Abba, Father, are pitied, protected, provided for, and chastened by him, as by a father: yet never cast off, but sealed to the day of redemption; and inherit the promises, as heirs of everlasting salvation.
