SYSTEMATIC BIBLE STUDY
By Editor
IF we are closely studying the book of Isaiah, we are not only noting its very rich promises, but we are also observing the many prophecies that it contains. Some of these prophecies point forward to the work of Christ at His first advent, and others reach on to the end of time. In our reading this week we find this statement: "I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste." Isa. 28:16. In many New Testament prophecies, reference is made to this passage, and it is applied to Christ. The Saviour upbraided the disciples for not understanding the prophecies. We have already seen that in our reading of Luke 24:25-27. And in the forty-fourth verse of the same chapter, He tells us how we should study the prophecies as written by Moses and the prophets, and as found in the Psalms. Prophecy is one of the most important parts of the Bible, and we should seek to become of keen understanding in grasping its true meaning. SCHEDULE FOR WEEK ENDING JUNE 27, 1914
