Reading the Prophetic Signs

November 15, 2006

Many Catholics would like a better, clearer, firmer grasp of the prophecies which foretell the appearance of Christ as the Messiah of Israel. In this series we also look at the signs and teachings of Christ’s second coming – a topic about which there is as much confusion as there is interest. How then should a serious believer look at these passages of Scripture? How should we interpret them? How can we apply their lessons and warnings? What a subject for solid teaching and lively discussion!

Isaiah: Songs of Justice, Judgment and Hope

October 5, 2006

Among the written prophets of ancient Israel, after Moses, Isaiah has
always held first place in the hearts of the teachers. His voice soars
across the ages, the most majestic in Old Testament prophecy. Jesus
quoted him often, and his prophecies of a coming Messiah are especially important for their grandeur and specific content. Every student of the Bible needs to draw deeply from Isaiah.

Songs of Love and Forgiveness – a study of Hosea

September 11, 2006

Hosea (salvation) is one of the most unusual books of the Bible – the story of a young prophet told to marry a beautiful prostitute, who
after the birth of their children is drawn back to her old life. She is
repeatedly unfaithful. It is a story of unrequited love and deep
ingratitude, but it is also a story of a yet more presistent love,
forgiveness and a plea for return (repentance). It is a picture of
God’s enduring love for his own wayward people. These lessons are rich
in spiritual insight and passionate longing for the sinner’s return.
