All the Messianic Prophecies

"All the Messianic Prophecies of the Bible" by Herbert Lockyer is a big book which is an utter joy to read. The more you read of it, the more you want to read. Although this is a great scholarly work of immense research, it is easy to understand and a delight to devour. And you really will devour this book if you have an enquiring mind. When the plain facts appear in front of your eyes, you will keep turning the pages. All the way through this magnum opus you will encounter clear proof that Jesus truly was the promised Messiah and the very Son of God. You may be delighted to discover those things or they may infuriate you, depending on your world view. You may even choose to put it down and ignore the conclusive proofs. But... love it, loathe it, or ignore it, you won't be able to disprove a word of the contents. As someone who has read three translations of the Good Book from cover to cover, and dipped into all of its books in various other translations over the last thirty years, it surprises me that I didn't see those proofs before. On reading this real treasure of a book, you'll be surprised too at how you've overlooked the proofs--providing you're familiar with Scripture. Herbert Lockyer is not only to be commended for this great work, he is also to be commended for it's readability. "All the Messianic Prophecies of the Bible" proves five things conclusively, viz., 1. That the Bible is a unique book with which no other can be compared or ever will be; 2. That there has never been another human being as unique and wonderful as Jesus Christ nor ever will be; 3. The irrefutable veracity of the Bible; 4. That the Bible is Divinely inspired; and, 5. that there is a God. The very facts in this book mock and confute atheism. It's difficult not to pick this book up and be awed--at least for those who think as I do. I have to ask, albeit rhetorically, why this is not pushed in our schools and colleges? But there again, neither is an even greater book, the Bible itself. Besides, there are vast battalions of liberals and ecumenists out there who don't want either book pushed. After all, Lockyer's classic, and the Scriptures in themselves, expose the much vaunted claims of liberal and ecumenist objectivity as outright fraud. C.S. Lewis, the famous Christian apologist and philosopher, published a book called "Miracles." He showed by impeccable logic how miracles are real. Lockyer's book shows from the Bible how the Bible itself is a miracle. And he does so without bothering to argue the point. "All the Messianic Prophecies..." should be in the library of every Christian. It will strengthen their faith. It will take guts for a non-Christian to read it if they want to remain an non-believer and be objective. To be both would be virtually impossible in view of the truth provided in this volume. How many other books can make such a claim. As a work of a scholar, on that note itself, it stands alone. I am very glad I own a copy. I would be gladder still

I am so thankful to have this put into one book. It makes is so easy to study and very informative. Keep up the great work.

Jesus Christ is the only Redeemer of sinful man. Jesus Christ is the only full revelation of God, as revealed in the Bible. History is utterly dependent on Jesus Christ, who He is and what He is doing. So this book will take you a long way in focusing your interpretation of scripture on what, or Who, scripture is about. Here is a book that is excellent for one wanting to start studying more in depth the MANY attributes and works of Jesus Christ and how all of history revolves around His sovereignty. Mr. Lockyer does a great job and will get you started, expanding your mind beyond the "milk" theology in which so many Christians remain. But be careful. He bought into the very young doctrines of premillennialism and dispensationalism, so you will find his doctrinal explanations as related to the return of Jesus Christ to be "newspaper" theology rather than biblical theology.

This the best book on the Messianic prophecies that were attributed to Christ! It goes into unprecedented depth in the symbolic messianic prophecies which not too many authors chose to go into. This is an excellent book from an acclaimed author who was beyond 80 years of age when he wrote the book.
