This book is about the “exile” prophets, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Obadiah. That is, those prophets who lived under Babylonian captivity. Ezekiel was a priest and was among the Jewish exiles carried away to Babylon during the deportation of Judah after King Nebuchadnezzar’s conquest. He was a man of formidable integrity and purpose, entirely devoted to the practices of Judaism. Like Daniel and the Apostle John, his prophecy follows the method of symbolism and vision. The Book of Daniel, like The Revelation in the New Testament, is called an apocalypse, which means “unveiling.” The use of apocalypses were given to show the reality behind that which was apparent, and to indicate the eventual victory of righteousness upon the earth. Little is known about Obadiah. The theme of his book is the Doom of Edom– the nation descended from Esau.
Los cinco libros de Los Profetas Mayores (Isaías, Jeremías, Lamentaciones, Ezequiel Y Daniel)cubren un período significativo y presentan una amplia serie de mensajes. Isaías habló a la nación de Judá alrededor de 150 años antes de su exilio a Babilonia y les hizo un llamado para ser fieles a Dios. Jeremías clamó a ese mismo pueblo cuando estaban al borde del exilio, implorándoles por su arrepentimiento. Lamentaciones, escrito por Jeremías, presenta un canto fúnebre al ir Judá al exilio. Los dos últimos profetas mayores, Ezequiel y Daniel, hablaron y escribie- ron para el pueblo en el exilio, animándolos a recordar que Dios seguía aún en control y que finalmente restauraría la fortuna espiritual de Su disciplinada nación.Tres de estos cinco libros son bastante extensos y a veces, todos ellos, pueden ser difíciles de entender. Sin embargo, la dedicación en tiempo y esfuerzo para tratar de entender estos escritos pagará grandes dividendos. Se ha dicho que ninguna otra sección en la Biblia ofrece una figura de Dios tan majestuosa y altamente exaltada. Su soberanía es increíble, Su gloria es impresionante, y leyendo estos libros, nuestra fe encuentra nuevos niveles más profundos de confianza.

Rose Publishing has produced one of the finest books I have ever seen. Every aspect of the charts, maps and time lines leaps off the page with spectacular color, incredible accuracy and intricate detail. . . . A must for every pastor and teacher who wants to clearly present the truths of the Bible." --Dr. Jerry Falwell, Founder of Liberty University "A compendium of charts, time lines, lists and illustrations to accompany study of the Bible. This visually appealing resource provides a wide array of illustrative and textually concise references, beginning with three sets of charts covering the Bible as a whole, the Old Testament and the New Testament. These charts cover such topics as biblical weights and measures, feasts and holidays and the 12 disciples. Most of the charts use a variety of illustrative techniques to convey lessons and provide visual interest. A worthwhile example is 'How We Got the Bible, ' which provides a time line of translation history, comparisons of canons among faiths and portraits of important figures in biblical translation, such as Jerome and John Wycliffe. The book then presents a section of maps, followed by diagrams to conceptualize such structures as Noah's Ark and Solomon's Temple. Finally, a section on Christianity, cults and other religions describes key aspects of history and doctrine for certain Christian sects and other faith traditions. Overall, the authors take a traditionalist, conservative approach. For instance, they list Moses as the author of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible) without making mention of claims to the contrary. When comparing various Christian sects and world religions, the emphasis is on doctrine and orthodox theology. Some chapters, however, may not completely align with the needs of Catholic and Orthodox churches. But the author's leanings are muted enough and do not detract from the work's usefulness. As a resource, it's well organized, inviting and visually stimulating. Even the most seasoned reader will learn something while browsing. Worthwhile reference stuffed with facts and illustrations." --Kirkus Reviews
Obadiah, part of the Hearing the Message of Scripture series, serves pastors and teachers by providing them with a careful analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew text of the Old Testament book of Obadiah, quickly allowing pastors to grasp the big idea of the passage and how it fits in its larger context.

No one can finish this series of studies and remain unchanged. The reader will receive lifelong benefit and be enriched by these practical and understandable studies. Exposition, commentary, and practical application of the meaning and message of the Bible will be found throughout this giant volume. Bible students without any background in Bible study will find this book of immense help as will those who have spent much time studying the Scriptures, including pastors and teachers. Explore the Book is the result and culmination of a lifetime of dedicated Bible study and exposition on the part of Dr. Baxter. It shows throughout a deep awareness and appreciation of the grand themes of the gospel, as found from the opening book of the Bible through Revelation.
A significant achievement, this book moves our understanding of the history of Israel forward as dramatically as John Bright's A History of Israel, Martin Noth's History of Israel, and William F. Albright's From the Stone Age ot Cristianity did at an earlier period.
