Highlighting Messianic Prophecies

Jerry M

Most study Bibles in Logos are notes separate from the Biblical text itself, which suggests that we should personalize the mark up of the text.  I recently started a project in which I highlighted (with purple underline) the more important Messianic prophecies in the OT.  I started a new palette in the highlighting tool so that I could turn it off and on in the visual filter drop down and arrow from highlight to highlight.  I created a passage list of Messianic prophecies for reference.  I searched the heading text for messianic in my library and found these resources to be helpful and also I included a web address.  These books are in most Logos base packages and contain the Bible reference hyperlink.  (Another possibility is to have a note on each reference with personal commentary.)

I am not sure what I can think about the link. Who is the author? Is the web page anonymous? The content sounds strange sometimes...

Very strange. I will not say more lest I ignite a theological fire storm.

I thought about that when I first saw this. What scriptures one views as messianic will depend very much on one's theological persuasion and hermeneutical philosophy.

If I were going about this project I think I would design a highlighting palette that would allow me to mark passages that I didn't think were Messianic but that someone else did.

Sorry about that link.  I never even read the introduction but went straight to the OT references.  An orthodox Jew would have a very different list than a Christian fundamentalist to say the least.  I passed over several references that others included.  The same is true of OT quotes in the NT.  For example the darkness that came over the earth during the crucifixion is mentioned in Amos 8:9-10 but is not quoted by anyone, so do you include it under quotes and allusions?

It was not that first site that I found to be so objectionable. When I go to an unfamiliar web page, I like to check out their overall philosophy. Near the beginning of the article, there are two other links that explains their basic theology.

I believe Amos is referring to a different occasion. Someone else may think otherwise.

The phrase "that day" most often refers to the Day of YHWH (the Lord), which corresponds to the beginning of the prophetic Shabbatth and/or the Millennium. I believe it does here too, primarily. But since YHWH deals in typological fulfillments, "that day" is also a typological form of vengeful justice against the disobedient. Vengeance for what? Well, the time previously when the daytime sky famously went dark--the day of Y'shuua's death. It could be other things as well, but it is certainly about these two days.

Btw, I clicked on the homepage link and immediately found some things I disagreed with (which most others probably wouldn't bat an eyelash at), but I don't concern myself with such things. I find nuggets of truth (whether in the form of insight or just simple facts) in many places, even some places that I accidentally find myself "passing through". I may not desire to "hang around" for very long, but since even a broken clock is right twice a day (and I have had a broken clock tell me the correct time in the past), I don't worry about what a person's or a website's ideology is. Like a lady I know says, "swallow the meat and spit out the bones". The lists found on the initial link page are valuable, but I don't assume they are authoritative, complete, or wholly accurate.
