Christ in Type and Prophecy, Volume 1

by A. J. Maas

Publisher:

Benziger Brothers

, 1893

Covering 110 passages from the Old Testament, Christ in Type and Prophecy covers in great detail the passages that in any way relate to the Christ. The prophecies in volume one have been arranged under four headings: the Genealogy of the Messiahs, Birth of the Messiahs, the Infancy of the Messiahs, and the Messianic Names. This division brings out the truth that the whole life of Jesus Christ has been the object of prophetic vision and divine revelation from the very beginning. For each prophecy Maas gives first an introductory section on the authorship, age, context, and scope of the prophecy, then an exposition of the text, and lastly a corollary in which the results obtained are summed up.

“the whole life of Jesus Christ has been the object of prophetic vision and divine revelation.” (Page 2)

“And it shall be that every soul which will not hear the prophet shall be destroyed from among the people. And all the prophets from Samuel and afterwards, who have spoken, have told of these days’” (Page 15)

“The prophecies of Isaias are cited between fifty and sixty times in the New Testament, and the Psalms are quoted not less than seventy times, and very frequently as being predictive.” (Page 16)

“It is written in the prophets: and they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me’” (Page 14)

“From the New Testament, however, we may infer that the Jews at the time of Christ understood the prophecy as applying to the Messianic time. For Christ, in applying the prediction to the city’s destruction by the Romans, speaks in such a manner that the apostles must have been quite familiar with this explanation of the prophecy.” (Page 304)
