Dr. Edward J. young was a Reformed Old Testament scholar who taught at Westminster Theological Seminary. This book is an exploration of the nature and office of Old Testament prophecy. Young had an unswerving devotion to the Bible as the Word of God and thus vigorously defended predictive prophecy . In his own words: "The Bible approaches prophecy from one standpoint; modern negative criticism approaches it from another, and the two standpoints are diametrically opposed one to another. According to the Bible a prophet was a man raised by God to be a mouthpiece of God to the nation. "I will place my words in his mouth," said the Lord in Deuteronomy 18:18, "and he shall speak unto them all that which I command him." Very different, however, is the modern view. The Biblical position, of course, presupposes Biblical Supernaturalism. The God of whom the Bible speaks is the Creator of heaven and earth, the One who possesses all the treasures of wisdom and power, the eternal triune God. It goes without saying that such a God can reveal His will unto His servants the prophets whenever He desires to do so. Hence, in following the Bible, Bible-believing students have simply asserted that the prophets did predict the future."
