About this eBook
Professor Allis maintains the fully predictive character of biblical prophecy, and deprecates, with special reference to selected prophecies from Isaiah and other Old Testament books, prevalent tendencies to tone down that predictive character, whether by explaining instances of fulfilled prophecy in terms of intelligent anticipation, or regarding them as vaticinia ex eventu, thus rejecting the date and setting which their context claims. But, as Dr. Allis points out, the account which the Old Testament itself gives of prophecy emphasizes the prominence of the predictive element, as may be seen in a number of passages in Deuteronomy (principally xviii. 9-22; cf. also xiii. 1 ff.). --
