The Neglected Study of Prophecy

Of the many departments of Bible study, the department of prophecy is most generally neglected. How many students enter the ministry with clear and defined notions on the subject? How many ministers in the pastorate know, really, anything about it? And yet how extensive is the prophetical element in Scripture. How frequently and how emphatically is this element referred in both Old and New Testaments. Will any one dare to say that these prophecies were not intended for us, that they have served their purpose, and are a thing of the past? Then let us regard the whole Bible as a thing of the past. If Isaiah's words are out of date, so are Paul's.—Old Testament Student.
