Chafer Theological Seminary Journal, Volume 9.
Top Highlights
“Context includes the following: the verses immediately surrounding the passage, the paragraph within which it occurs, the whole book, its audience (Israel or the church), the whole Bible, and the historical-cultural environment at the time of the writing. The expositor must consider the author’s context, first near then far.” (Volume 9, Number 1, Page 110)
“The point is that it is impossible to bring them to repentance as long as they continue in this transgression. Returning to the sacrificial system was tantamount to crucifying Christ to themselves (heautois). This put Him to open shame because it implies that the death of Christ, instead of being one sacrifice for sins for all time (Hebrews 10:1–12), was no better than the repeated Levitical offerings.” (Volume 9, Number 1, Page 15)
“The messianic title Son of Man is never Christ’s title in relation to the church; rather, it is a title for the Davidic King who will reign on earth from Jerusalem (Daniel 7:13–14).” (Volume 9, Number 1, Page 130)
“Both the content and context argue that the entire discourse regards the tribulational period solely” (Volume 9, Number 1, Page 132)
“The parable of the talents illustrates the certainty of Christ’s judgment upon unredeemed Gentiles during the Tribulation (Matthew 25:14–30), since the conjunction for in Matthew 25:14 connects the parable to the prior context. Whereas the parable of the virgins emphasizes spiritual alertness (25:13), this parable emphasizes faithful service (25:14, 19, 21, 23, 26, 30).” (Volume 9, Number 1, Page 132)
