The Harmony of the Prophetic Word: A Key to Old Testament Prophecy Concerning Things to Come

Prophecy, grandly optimistic in its ultimate view, presents anything but a flattering picture at the end of the age. Yet the Church devotes so little time to its understanding. What can account for the neglect of prophecy? Gaebelein argues that the Church avoids prophecy because of the undeniable difficulties—bewildering phrases and formulas—which confront those who begin to study it. The Harmony of the Prophetic Word is designed to assist those wading through biblical prophecy for the first time. Gaebelein dissects the great prophetic epochs, key symbols, and noteworthy historical events. Yet his project in this book should not substitute for personal study of scripture, but instead help assemble and analyze God’s revelation. The effect of Gaebelein’s prophetic synthesis emphasizes that God alone is the author of prophetic testimony. The Harmony of the Prophetic Word includes an introduction by C. I. Scofield.
