Epigraph
Dedication
First words
The absorbing meditation we are now undertaking enables us to appreciate the sentiment of the Psalmist when he wrote, "I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches" (Ps. 119:14; cf. vv. 72, 127).
Quotations
p10 - When we realise that about one-fourth of the Bible is related to predictive prophecy, or predictions which, at the time of their utterance, were still future, we see that negligence of such an element of Scripture is inexcusable. 

p11 - Dr A T Pierson, who reminds us that the words prophet and prophecy occur over 400 times in Scripture, commenting on the the two senses conveyed by the term prophet, summarizes: "When a prophet predicts, or foretells, he sees or represents the future in the light of the present; when he rebukes, reproves, counsels, or admonishes as Jehovah's representative messenger - forth-telling rather than fore-telling - he portrays the present in the light of the future....."

p17 - As the prophecies concerning Christ's first coming were correct and infallible, being fulfilled to the most minute detail, so all the prophecies concerned with His second advent must be literally fulfilled.  Acceptance of the credibility and infallibility of the one set of prophecies involves the same admission of the second set. 

p29 - The whole of Scripture revolves around Jesus and can be divided in a threefold way: Jesus is coming - Genesis to Malachi.  Jesus has come - the four gospels.  Jesus is coming again - the Acts to Revelation.

p33 - The fact is that we cannot account for, nor explain, the Christ of history apart from the Christ of prophecy.
