Rev Ian Brown
W.G. Scroggie said: “For readers of the Bible in general, the period now before us is by far the most difficult to grasp, but when grasped, it is perhaps one of the most highly profitable to study.”

DIFFICULTY STEMS FROM ARRANGEMENT OF
OLD TESTAMENT BOOKS

The arrangement of the O.T. Books is, of course, not chronological, and that largely accounts for the difficulty which arises here.

If, for example, we are to read the Bible ‘straight through,’ we:

• come to the history of Esther before that of Job, (and yet Job lived more than 1000 years before Esther);

• come to the end of Judah’s Captivity in Daniel (and yet, in the next book in our Bible - Hosea - neither Israel nor Judah have been carried into captivity by anyone yet: we are still at the latter days of the Kingdom of Israel);

• come to Obadiah and read how that prophet denounces Edom for rejoicing over the Fall of Jerusalem, (and yet, when we come to the next book in the Bible - Jonah - we find that we are in a period that is 200 years before the Fall of Jerusalem. Nineveh had been swept away before Jerusalem was attacked!).

If we do not understand the arrangement of the Old Testament books, we will inevitably end up with a confused and hazy view of Old Testament history

(cf. ‘Basic Bible Study, Part One: The Structure of the Bible’).

OUTLINE OF THE PERIOD
A clear outline of this period will allow us to read and study it intelligently.
