Samuel the Prophet. 1 Samuel 1 - 7. Hamilton Smith. Extracted from Scripture Truth magazine, Volumes 21 & 22, 1929 & 1930. Historically the first book of Samuel is the continuation of the book of Judges. There we have the history of a people whose course was ever downward, in spite of occasional revivals. It closes with the solemn statement that, "In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which .. 2010. 2. 18.
Mephibosheth. (Extracted from S. M. Anglin in "Christian Friend," 1897). The grace of God to the sinner has been beautifully illustrated by the "kindness of God" shown by David to Mephibosheth. But not all the types in the O.T. together can adequately set forth that grace. One would desire that we may value them as directing our minds to Him of whom they speak and the exceeding riches of God's grace. What is .. 2010. 2. 18.

Abigail. 1 Samuel 25. Hamilton Smith. Edification Vol. 7, 1933, page 35. Interwoven in the story of David's chequered life, there are many fine characters, of whom, Jonathan, the three mighty men that drew water from the well, Mephibosheth, and Ittai, are bright examples. Among these friends of David, there is not one, perhaps, that wears a more beautiful character than Abigail, the Carmelitess. Very sig.. 2010. 2. 4.
Jacob Alone With God. Genesis 32: 24-32. C. H. Mackintosh. In tracing the history of Jacob, and in contemplating his natural character, we are again and again reminded of the grace expressed in those words, "Jacob have I loved." The question why God should love such a one, can only receive for an answer the boundless and sovereign grace of Him who sets His love upon objects possessing nothing of worth in themselves, .. 2010. 2. 4.
Jehoshaphat — Worldliness. C. H. Mackintosh. In tracing the inspired record of the houses of Israel and Judah, from the period of their separation, under Rehoboam, we can without difficulty recognize the marked distinction between them. The line of kings from Jeroboam to Hosea presents only a dark and sorrowful catalogue of evil-doers in the sight of the Lord: we look in vain for an exception. Even Jehu, who manifested s.. 2010. 2. 4.
The Life and Times of Elijah. C. H. Mackintosh. Introduction The exercise of prophetic ministry in Israel, of old, was always a proof of the nation's decline. So long as the great national institutions were maintained in their vigour, and the machinery of the Mosaic economy carried out according to its original design, there was no need of anything extraneous, and therefore the voice of a prophet was not heard; but when fai.. 2010. 2. 2.
The Life and Times of Josiah. 2 Chronicles 34 - 35. C. H. Mackintosh. Two thousand four hundred years have rolled away since king Josiah lived and reigned; but his history is pregnant with instruction, which can never lose its freshness or its power. The moment at which he ascended the throne of his fathers was one of peculiar gloom and heaviness. The tide of corruption, swollen by many a tributary stream, had risen to the .. 2010. 2. 2.
The Life and Times of David — the life of faith. C. H. Mackintosh. Introduction The steps which led to the setting up of a king in Israel are easily traced, and easily accounted for, by all who have studied with any attention the humbling history of the human heart, either as presented in themselves or in others. In the opening chapters of First Samuel we are furnished with a most instructive and solemn picture of Israe.. 2010. 2. 2.
The Call of God — Abraham and Lot. Genesis 12. C. H. Mackintosh. In a day of such widely extended profession as the present, it is specially important that Christians should be deeply impressed with the necessity of realising personally the call of God, without which there can be no permanence or steadiness in the Christian course. It is a comparatively easy thing to make a profession at a time when profession prevails; but it i.. 2010. 1. 25.
Job and His Friends. C. H. Mackintosh. The book of Job occupies a very peculiar place in the volume of God. It possesses character entirely its own, and teaches lessons which are not to be learnt in any other section of inspiration It is not by any means our purpose to enter upon a line of argument to prove the genuineness, or establish the fact of the Divine inspiration, of this precious book. We take these things .. 2010. 1. 25.
Gideon and his companions. Judges 6-8. C. H. Mackintosh. PART 1. In studying the history of the nation of Israel, we notice two distinct eras, namely, the era of unity, and the era of individuality — the period in the which the twelve tribes acted as one man, and the period in the which one man was called to act for the twelve tribes. We may take the Book of Joshua as illustrating the former; and the Book of Judges as .. 2010. 1. 22.
Joseph - W. Kelly W. Kelly. Preface The history of Joseph in detail, here brought before us, only carries us to Gen. 47: 12, where his father Jacob is presented to Pharaoh, for at this point the Author's closing days of his pilgrimage were rapidly being fulfilled. His pen was now laid aside, and he has since passed away to abide in the presence of a greater than Pharaoh or any earthly potentate — yea, of Him w.. 2010. 1. 20.
Jacob. - W. Kelly W. Kelly. CHAPTER 1. JACOB BORN AND YOUNG. Gen. 25: 30-34 If scripture speaks briefly of Isaac, it has much to say of Jacob, as it had not a little of Abraham. Yet the difference between the divine accounts of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is marked and instructive. The grandfather was pre-eminently a man of faith, in whom God's call was conspicuous, head of a chosen race, as Adam of mankind. Isaac.. 2010. 1. 20.
Isaac - W. Kelly W. Kelly. Introduction Having already sought to weigh the history of Abraham, I desire to consider what Scripture gives us to learn of Isaac. It is true that much less is said of him than of Abraham on the one hand or of Jacob on the other; even less than of Joseph among the many sons of Jacob. Yet there is not a little, in the spiritual account of him who came between the two chief fathers, di.. 2010. 1. 20.

Samuel — God's Emergency Man. W W Fereday. Preface A period of peculiar interest in the history of a people of peculiar interest is dealt with in the following pages. The nation of Israel has a place in the ways of God such as has been accorded to no other. Israel forms the centre of all God's plans for the government and blessing of the earth. This poor disordered and suffering world will never enjoy true righteousness and.. 2010. 1. 18.
Jonathan and His Times W W Fereday. There is a remarkable similarity between Jonathan in the Old Testament and Barnabas in the New. Both were gracious and affectionate; both were signally used of God in their day; but both manifested deplorable weakness in a moment of crisis. Barnabas broke with Paul, special vessel of the Spirit in his time; and Jonathan parted with David, Jehovah's choice for the throne of Israel. I.. 2010. 1. 18.

Elisha, the Prophet. W W Fereday. Elijah's Successor. There was no room for a prophet in the order of things established by Jehovah for Israel when normal conditions prevailed. At the close of the ministry of Moses, the high priest was the link between Jehovah and His people, and the civil leader was directed to walk under his guidance (Num. 27: 18-23); when the priesthood failed, the king became the link, and the h.. 2010. 1. 18.

The Patriarch Jacob Gen. 32: 2432; Gen. 35: 114. J. N. Darby. (Words in Season, Vol. 2, 1888, page 208.) Here Jacob was on his return from Padanaram. He was a saint of God, and valued the promises, but the means he used were reprehensible in every way. There was real faith in his heart; he was willing to yield (though it were only a mess of pottage) to get them; but there was no uprightness in him at all. It is .. 2010. 1. 14.
A few words on Elijah 1 Kings 17-20. J. N. Darby. <30001E> 1 These chapters set before us several important principles; and we see there pointed out several very different characters; we learn in them also the ways of God. Ahab and Jezebel appear on the scene; Elijah prophesies; Obadiah is seen and the seven thousand men of God mentioned in 1 Kings 19: 18. The character of Ahab is presented to us in 1 Kings 16.. 2010. 1. 14.
Ruth. J. G. Bellett. Section 10 of: Musings on Scripture, Volume 3 "If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold" (Lev. 25: 25). Redemption, as one has said, was no afterthought with our God; it was His purpose from the beginning. By the work of redemption He prepares the richest glory.. 2010. 1. 4.
The Queen of Sheba J. G. Bellett. Section 2 of: Musings on Scripture, Volume 3 "The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here." — Luke 11: 31. This "elect lady" stands in a line of loved and honoured women, who, now and again, from th.. 2010. 1. 4.
Job James 5: 11. J. G. Bellett. Section 7 of: The Patriarchs: Being Meditiations upon Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job; The Canticles, Heaven and Earth. New Edition, Morrish, 1909. "Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face" May surely be said, upon the reading of this deeply affecting story. Said, too, with peculiar fitness and fulness of truth, as though the thought of t.. 2009. 12. 30.
