Hermeneutics, the branch of knowledge that deals with interpretation, especially of the Bible or literary texts. Quoting CM:
“The Greek Model is Prophecy = Prediction results in Fulfillment
The Hebrew Model is Prophecy = Pattern”
CM quotes Hosea 12:10, “I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.” Often it is as if the prophets could see down the corridors of time to modern day America. Of course, they were guided by God who knows the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end.
The reaction by God through the prophet Isaiah is a prototype for all who are disobedient to God. Isaiah 9:10, "The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars."
An unrepentant, prideful and arrogance Israel says they will rebuild more gloriously than ever. But the Lord promises that the Assyrians will again defeat them.
When taking “I 604 Intro to Analytical Thinking” I wrote a Sorites inspired by Jonathan Cahn’s book, “The Harbinger: The ancient mystery that holds the secret of America's Future.” Is it an oxymoron to combine analytical thinking with the Hebrew model that prophecy is pattern? I think not.
A Sorites is a series of Syllogisms telescoped into an argument here. Isaiah 9:10 is a warning to the Southern Kingdom and, by extension, America.
The prophets are ignored by an Israel who does not have ears to hear
An Israel without ears to hear is defeated by the Assyrians
An Israel defeated by the Assyrians is a defiance Israel
A defiance Israel says we will rebuild
A rebuilt Israel is defeated by the Assyrians
A defeated Israel will never again be a nation.
America began as a very God centered and blessed country. In past decades, we have turned away from God. Eight year of Obama and his minions have put this turning away on steroids. We have a new president who will hopefully turn our country around.
God has commandments we are to live by
The Commandments a we are to live by are ignored by a defiance America
A defiance America watches as her towers fall
The fallen towers inspire the defiant America
The inspired and defiant America has inspirited and defiant leaders
The inspirited and defiant leaders vow we will rebuild America
A rebuild America experiences an economic collapse in 2008
An economic collapse in 2008 results in major political changes
Major political changes give power to a very liberal administration
A liberal administration encourages a dependent, immoral society
A dependent, immoral society votes for four more years of the same liberal agenda
After four more years of the same liberal agenda a new and politically incorrect president is voted in
A new and politically incorrect president is, well to be determined.
