Leviticus 23 outlines the various feasts celebrated under the law, as well as events observed during that period. Each of the events point forward to prophetic events, which either have happened, or are about to happen. These events are, in fact, a prophetic timeline of the overall sequence of events, culminating in the kingdom of God.

The first song of Lamentations introduces Jerusalem’s affliction and the sin that was the source of the problem. We find Jerusalem as a widow, alone and reeling from the recent invasion of the Babylonians. The second song (chapter 2) builds on these themes. Particular emphasis is placed upon the role that God himself played in the destruction of Jerusalem. Whereas chapter 1 recognises that Yahweh is righteous, chapter 2 acknowledges God’s justification in personally being involved in Jerusalem’s downfall. While the Babylonians may have been the instrument, God was the true architect. The fall of Jerusalem in AD70 is expressed in similar terms when we read of Christ coming at the head of the Roman army in the seventy weeks prophecy (Dan 9:26-27). Throughout the New Testament, AD70 is described as the “coming of the Son of Man” (eg: Matt 24:37) when our Lord used the Romans as the tools of God’s justice. Once again, the book of Lamentations would repeat itself through history.
Towards the end of the reign of Josiah, God ensured an intensity of prophetic work so that there were four contemporary prophets all simultaneously warning Judah of the judgment that was about to befall them. This was no accident.

It was around AD90 when the Apostle John sent a letter (which we know as the third epistle of John) to Gaius. The ageing apostle opens his letter fondly, describing Gaius as well beloved and someone whom he truly loves.

One of David’s final battles with the uncircumcised Philistines is described in 2 Samuel 5. He had just been anointed king at Hebron and the enemy seized that opportunity to strike quickly and remove him from his newly acquired throne: “When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold. The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim” (5:17-18). Note that “all” the Philistines came. David had been their arch-enemy for years and now they sought to hunt him out and destroy him before he could consolidate his power and threaten them further.
